The Grandmaster Strategist

Taking the confession, I walked towards Qifengxuan, because I really wanted to see my adopted daughter Roulan. Somehow, I always felt that she was a spirit under the fragrant spring, and she was sent to my daughter in a hurry. When I returned to Qifengxuan in a hurry, I saw His Highness King Yong sitting there, teasing Xiao Roulan.

I stepped forward and saluted and said: 'Your Highness has been waiting for a long time. I was busy interrogating my confession just now, and I didn't know that Your Highness was here. '

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I heard that your husband has adopted an adopted daughter and I came here to visit. How is the situation?" '

I smiled and said: 'Your Highness, I have discovered the power of the Jinxiu Alliance in Dayong and have already interrogated them clearly. Although some changes will inevitably occur after one night, it is easy to catch them all. '

Li Zhi looked at me hesitantly, and I knew what he meant: "Your Highness, I understand that the Jinxiu League is currently wreaking havoc in central Sichuan and Nanchu, and Dayong is still a place where they can recuperate. Therefore, His Highness hopes to retain the Splendid Alliance for the time being. '

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, to be honest, I have known about the existence of the Jinxiu League for a long time, but I have not interfered with it for the time being. However, they are so arrogant and wreaking havoc now. If it is spread that Dayong once supported them in the future, I am afraid that Dayong will be in the east." The public sentiment in Sichuan and Shu was completely ruined. '

I bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I already have a plan. I can let go of some of the power of the Jinxiu Alliance, but I must first eradicate all their influence in Chang'an. In this way, even if he wants to involve Dayong in the future, he will not be able to do it." It's possible. '

King Yong said: "This is good, lest they take the opportunity to cause trouble when the situation in Chang'an is chaotic. After all, they and Dayong are also enemies. I have some information, plus the confession you got, it should be enough. This king He ordered an encirclement and suppression campaign. '

I shook my head and said: "It is a small Jinxiu Alliance. What credit does His Highness have for eradicating it? If Your Highness is at ease, please let me plan it. It can not only remove the power of Jinxiu Alliance in Chang'an, but also realize my heart-cutting plan." Policy. '

King Yong's eyes flashed and he said: 'Since I have granted you full power, I would like to ask you to preside over it. If you need my support, just say so clearly. '

I smiled and thanked him. At this time, King Yong looked at Roulan and said, "Sir, I am alone. My wife is young and it is not appropriate to be without her mother to take care of me. The princess has been sad for this time. The prince is about to go to Youzhou, and her knees are empty. If Mr. If you don't mind it, why don't you let the princess take care of Roulan so that your husband won't worry about it. '

I thought for a moment and said, 'It's just that it won't be convenient for me to see my little girl. '

King Yong smiled and said: 'It doesn't matter. If sir misses his daughter, just ask Xiao Shunzi to go to the princess to pick her up. '

I thought it was a good idea for Xiao Shunzi to go in and out of the inner house without any scruples, so I said, "Then I would like to thank Your Highness. The Princess will definitely be able to educate the little girl into a well-known lady. Please thank the Princess on your behalf." '

King Yong looked at me for a moment and said, "Sir, he is already twenty-six years old. Why are you still alone? He should have started a family." '

King Yong's words caused pain in my heart. I was silent for a long time before saying: 'I already had a fiancée, but she passed away before the marriage was consummated. '

King Yong was stunned and said: "I don't know this. It's just that marrying a wife and having children is a filial piety. Sir, you can't always be so lonely. If you have the intention, I should ask the princess to find a virtuous and virtuous woman for you. I don't know, sir." how about. '

I smiled with relief and said, 'I have a casual nature, but I just didn't wear my hair down the mountain. I don't want to let down this good woman, so 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 and do your work. I believe that you will give me a satisfactory result." '

I saluted and said: 'Don't worry, your highness, your highness will be able to penetrate his confidant next to the prince soon. '

Xia Jinyi felt that he had never been so scared. He had a frivolous temperament and was sometimes too impulsive. Therefore, he offended the elders of his school and was kicked out of the door. He wanted to enter through Guanzhonglian, but offended Miss Jiang again. In desperation, I had no choice but to ask for help from a senior fellow student. He was a very upright fellow student.

But he has a good relationship with him. Now he is the head guard of the prince's palace. He has no choice but to ask his senior brother for a recommendation. Otherwise, he has neither the ability to take the imperial examination nor the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy. How can he find a good background? Unfortunately, before he could meet his senior brother, he was blocked by Guanzhonglian. In desperation, he had to find a way to escape. Who knew that the person he framed for the crime was actually Sima of Prince Yong's Mansion. This originally made him very discouraged, but The senior brother told himself that if His Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, he would definitely keep him so that he could clean up the face of Prince Yong's Mansion. While he was ecstatic, he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks. When he returned to the inn, he was extremely happy and sad, and was subdued by a sneak attack. For unknown reasons, those people tied themselves up tightly, bound their hands with fine steel, blocked their mouths, put them in a box and carried them away. When they could no longer feel the bumps, they didn't. After being tied up for such a long time, Xia Jinyi felt that his limbs were numb and his blood vessels were blocked. The biggest pain was that he could only bend his body and couldn't straighten it. This made him feel extremely painful. If he could straighten his body, he would even pay any price. In other words, his will had collapsed.

Finally, footsteps came to my ears, and someone opened the box. The man held an oil lamp in his hand, and the light fell on Xia Jinyi's face. Xia Jinyi closed his eyes subconsciously to avoid being hurt by the light due to being in darkness for a long time. After a moment, Xia Jinyi opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him. He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He seemed to be looking at him curiously. Xia Jinyi's eyes showed pleading and questioning. The young man said calmly: "The villain Chi Ji has been ordered to deal with Mr. Xia. If Mr. Xia cannot be recognized by the villain, he will be buried here. If he is lucky enough to pass, he can see my master. Mr. Xia, if you speak loudly If you shout, the villain will have to kill you immediately, so please be careful. 'After that, the young man placed the oil lamp on a table in the room, stepped forward and took out the silk scarf from Xia Jinyi's mouth. Xia Jinyi took a deep breath and said, "Please let me out first. If I don't stretch my body, Xia will be disabled." 'Seeing the enemy, Xia Jinyi's consciousness gradually recovered, and he was ready to start a battle of 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 are monks, women and children, so There was no contempt in his heart.

The young man smiled slightly, took Xia Jinyi out of the box, and put him on the ground. In this way, although Xia Jinyi was still tied tightly, he could stretch his body. He let out a comfortable groan and closed his eyes. It seems that he wants to have a good sleep.

The young man smiled, kicked Xia Jinyi and said, 'Brother, have you forgotten something? Is your life and death still in my control? '

Xia Jinyi opened his eyes, with a comfortable expression on his face, and said, "Brother, Xia is just a prodigal son. If you don't have any use for me, why bother to tie me up here?" I thought that if I killed me casually, I might be punished? '

The young man suddenly sat on the ground and said to Xia Jinyi: "You are right, but my master is arrogant. He will never use useless snacks, so you have to convince me to take you to see the master. If you don't let me, I'm convinced, it doesn't matter if I kill you, you're not the only candidate anyway. '

Xia Jinyi felt a chill in his heart. He saw that although this young man was young, he spoke very seasonedly, and when he talked about killing people, he didn't seem to be moved at all, so he asked tentatively: 'I am young, but have you killed many people? '

Chi Ji smiled and said, "I dare not hide it. In order to save my life, I killed eight or nine people. Later, when I worked for my master, I killed men, women, old and young. The most pitiful thing is that one time we had no choice but to kill many innocent people, including There were also several women and children. To be honest, they really didn't want to kill them at first, but who made them stay in places they shouldn't be. Only once, the boy didn't kill anyone, but they didn't survive either. Chi Ji said vaguely, but there was no lie. When they were training in the secret camp, they often had to fight against each other. If they were defeated too many times, their memories would be erased and sent away. They later said that these people had already Death and losing the memory of the secret camp are really worse than death for them. As for working for Tianji Pavilion, killing people is inevitable. Only the last time Liang Wan did not kill anyone, but since there were only Princess Changle and The stupid Liang Wan escaped with his life, which is not considered merciful.

Xia Jinyi could hear the seriousness in Chi Ji's tone and the lack of any hint of showing off, so he knew that he had really met the little devil who kills without batting an eye. He forced a smile and said: "I see, then Xia is far inferior to the little devil." Brother, although Xia has a reputation as a prodigal son in the world, he doesn't kill many people. After all, his martial arts skills are not high and killing people is troublesome. I wonder how I can let Xia go? '

Chi Ji thought for a while and said: "This is difficult. Although I have no money, I don't lack money when I want to spend it. Although my martial arts is not high, it is enough. If we talk about glory and wealth, although people Everyone loves me, but I’m still young. Isn’t it too late to fight for it in ten years? ' Later, his tone gradually became colder. Chi Ji took out a small dagger from his arms, gestured at 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 be anxious, Xia has an idea. Seeing that the younger brother is already fifteen or sixteen years old, the children of wealthy families should all get married. Seeing that the younger brother has extraordinary bearing, even if he is not from a common family, he still has to marry someone." We are all beautiful ladies, otherwise it would be like a pearl casting a shadow. Xia has no other abilities. When it comes to pursuing girls, there is no mention of it. Besides, there is absolutely no one who knows more about these outstanding beauties from all over the country than me. If you are interested, I might as well How about asking Xia to advise you on how to marry a beautiful woman. '

Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi for a long time, burst into laughter, and said: "Looking at you running for your life being chased by Miss Jiang, I don't see that you still have such ability, okay, let me listen to your idea." '

Xia Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief. He could see that Chi Ji's murderous aura had dissipated, so he smiled and said: "Brother, you can't look down on me. I have to say, Miss Jiang is good, but she must not marry her." ? I just stole her bellyband, and they hunted me everywhere. '

Chi Ji opened his mouth wide when he heard this, looked at Xia Jinyi and said: 'You stole hers, hers. '

Xia Jinyi smiled and said, "What's so strange about that? I, no, I just don't like it. A little girl can make all the young men from Guanzhonglian and upstream follow her and pursue her. I'm so charming, this little girl." It's a pleasure to listen to my nonsense all day long. If you go too far, she will look like a late night lady. Isn't it just because she is a disciple of Fengyi Sect? So I simply used the incense to knock her out and went there in person. Her bellyband was stolen from her boudoir, haha, so she chased me without even daring to explain the reason. Little brother, I’m telling you that girls from the Fengyi Sect can’t be married. They are all pure and pure, relying solely on their beauty to seduce men. I don’t believe it. If a girl doesn’t even have a hint, so many men will pursue you and play hard to get. Everyone is good at it, but my ability to pursue beautiful women is far inferior to their ability to seduce men. The most hateful thing is that if you really succeed, and she is always obedient to you, but if you don't go along with her wishes, she will fall out with you in a blink of an eye. Let me tell you, even if you marry an illiterate village girl, you won't be able to marry her. Better than marrying those female disciples from Fengyi Sect. '

Chi Ji stared blankly at Xia Jinyi, who was talking suavely, and said, "I heard you say it is so scary. 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 am just a prodigal son. The female disciples of Fengyi Sect are either married to officials or to martial arts families. How can they have anything to do with me?" . '

Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi's embarrassed expression and asked, 'Aren't you afraid that I have something to do with Fengyi Sect? '

Xia Jinyi's cold sweat immediately started flowing down, and he returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He said with a smile: "How can I do that? Although Fengyi Sect may drive some men, but with my demeanor and temperament, I shouldn't be someone who is obsessed with beauty." 'He murmured in his heart, why wouldn't Fengyi Sect reach out to a young man?

Chi Ji smiled lightly and said: 'Since you don't like Fengyi Clan, why would you want to seek refuge with the prince? Who doesn't know that the prince and Fengyi Clan are in the same boat, and King Yong and Fengyi Clan don't get along? '

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 farm the land, and I can't go into battle to kill the enemy. I want to be a bodyguard to protect the courtyard, but my temperament and appearance are difficult for others to see." If I am a robber or a thief, to put it bluntly, Dayong's head catcher will not be easy to deal with. My martial arts skills are not very strong. I am afraid that in a few years I will end up in prison eating free food. As for seeking refuge with King Yong, Xia may not be so lucky. King Yong must be a capable person. I'm afraid I won't be able to get in. It would be much easier with the prince. In fact, I originally wanted to seek refuge with King Qi. Yes, I heard that King Qi likes Fengyue places the most. Maybe I can get the appreciation of King Qi. But when I came to Chang'an, I heard that although King Qi likes zouma Zhangtai, the people around him are all warriors who have gone through bloody battles on the battlefield. , not for someone like me. '

Chi Ji thought for a while and said: "You are right. People in the martial arts like small martial arts when practicing martial arts. You Kongtong is a sect that mainly focuses on Qi Sect martial arts. If you go to the battlefield, I'm afraid you won't be an ordinary person." General, not everyone likes the military. You have such a cynical temperament, I'm afraid you will be engaged in military law within a few days in the army. '

Xia Jinyi agreed and said: 'Yes, although I don't have any abilities, I still know how to do it. If I can stay in the prince's house for a few years, it should be better than wandering around the world. '

Chi Ji looked at him, finally smiled easily, and said: "Although I think there is no benefit in letting you go, I really don't want to kill you. Well, I think you can go see my master. Just remind you, I His master is usually kind and kind, but once he gets serious, you'd better hope for a quick death. '

Xia Jinyi suddenly laughed and said: 'Thank you for reminding me, brother, Xia has always been very aware of current affairs. '

At this time, in another room, I finally couldn't help laughing. I heard Xia Jinyi's words through the copper pipe, which made me feel very happy. At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly laughed too, and I asked him: : 'Why, you think he's funny too. '

Xiao Shunzi suppressed his laughter and said, "Master, if I want to be bold, I think he looks a lot like you. If Master wasn't so talented, I think he looks a lot like you." '

I was a little angry at first, but when I thought about it carefully, I couldn't help laughing. Thinking about it, I was more interested in Xia Jinyi, and I believed that my plan would succeed.

After a while, Xia Jinyi was escorted in by Chi Ji. Chi Ji untied him so that he could walk in on his own, but he was too smart to resist, otherwise he might not be able to get in front of me. After more than ten hours of torture, he was now not only hungry, but his clothes were messy, and his handsome face was covered in dust and stains. After walking in with difficulty, Chi Ji pushed him gently. He looked up and saw the man in Tsing Yi sitting behind the desk and the handsome servant standing behind him. Then he knelt down obediently and whispered: "The common people kowtow to see Sima." grown ups. '

I looked at him with some concern. Although he had seen me from a distance before, I was a little surprised that he still remembered me. I smiled and said, "Mr. Big mistake, why were you expelled from the school? '

Xia Jinyi looked up at me and asked directly: "Sir, I don't know what I can do for you. If I can do the job, it won't be too late for you to question me. If I can't, I won't do it to anyone." They all talked about the past. '

I looked at him seriously again and said calmly: 'I need a chess piece, preferably this chess piece has its own thoughts. In other words, what I want is a smart and exquisite chess piece, and 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 way out after the thing is done. '

The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and then a faint voice floated into my ears. It was Xiao Shunzi's voice saying: 'You two really look alike. '

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Xiao Shunzi. Although the voice transmission is very useful, there is no need to always use it to bully me.
