Chapter 71 A Big Chess

In the morning, it was foggy, and Taiyuan was immersed in a leisurely, as if he was still sleeping and not waking up.

The urbanization rate of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the best in the entire feudal history. The economic development is quite good, and the people are rich and peaceful. Taiyuan is located in the border, and people's pace of life is not fast. In today's words, the Song Dynasty is a very "small" era.

When Chu Tianya was pulled into the street parade again, there were not many people on the street. Occasionally, there are some merchants traveling with business travelers. Most of the people have just opened their doors, and the fireworks in the stove have not yet risen.

But Xiao Ai has been standing on the street outside the Wangfu of Guangling County and has been waiting for more than half an hour. Seeing the people coming out, she knelt forward and begged Chu Tianya to bring breakfast.

Liu Yanqing, who was early in the morning, may still be holding Meijiao in a hot quilt. She didn't come to lead the team in person, but sent a future leader. In contrast, the sergeant is much easier to talk than Liu Yanqing - Xiao Ai kowtowed and quietly took two ingots of white goods, and climbed into the prison car very smoothly.

"Chu official, I'll wash your face and comb your hair first." Xiao Ai is very careful and wraps a few tile urn with quilts to keep warm, which contains hot meals and warm wine respectively.

"It's your help." Chu Tianya smiled gratefully.

The sergeant next to him smiled and said, "I'm going to behead off. Why don't you take your head back and wash it then!"

Xiao Ai ignored them. He wiped Chu Tianya's face with a hot towel and said quietly, "Even if he wants to behead, Chu Guan is open-minded and must walk decently. Several officials, how about asking the Nu family to change clean clothes for the officials of Chu and freshen up when they go to the execution tomorrow?

The sergeants laughed and said nothing. The situation could not be more obvious - if you want to be flexible, just pay for it!

"Ill leave them alone." Chu Tianya said, "I'm hungry. Give me the food!"

"Uh-huh!" In fact, Xiao Ai also deliberately took care of him and distracted the attention of these sergeants. At that moment, she looked around alertly. When she took out the food and wine from the urn to feed Chu Tianya, she put a key into the belt of the cloak.

Chu Tianya suddenly showed a look of surprise. He swallowed the food and nodded happily, "Delicious, delicious!"

"The official of Chu must be hungry." Xiao Ai whispered carefully in his ear, "Mr. Bai has arranged everything. Chu officials, remember that this is the key to the prison door. When the fire broke out in the prince's mansion, it was an opportunity to get out.

"Okay, another chicken leg! Xiao Ai, where did you buy this chicken leg? It's so delicious!" Chu Tianya nodded and said.

"Then the officials of Chu should eat more!"

On the second floor of an inn not far away, there was a window that opened half a pair of eyes, quietly looking at the soldiers and horses and Chu Tianya's prison vans passing by in the street downstairs.

"Mr. Bai, when will we do it? Seeing my brother like this, my heart is burning, and I can't help it for a moment!" Meng De pounded his fist, gritted his teeth angrily and whispered.

"Don't worry, Mengzhai, everything is under control." Bai Xi put down the curtain, slowly opened the folding fan in his hand and slapped it leisurely on his chest. He sat on a big chair and said, "I can get the key to the prison door, so it is not difficult to save Brother Chu. But this is a big game of chess. Now that the two sides are evenly matched is the time for victory and defeat, so there is no room for trance and mistakes, and it is even more impatient.

Meng De's thick eyebrows were locked, and he sat down beside Bai Xi and said, "Meng is a brave and resourceful man. Naturally, everything is under Mr. Bai's instructions. It's just that I don't know what Mr. Bai's "a big game of chess" refers to.

"Ha ha!" Bai Xu shook his fan and smiled, "In this game, Taiyuan is the chessboard. Song and Jin are like black and white twins playing on the chessboard. The Xishan heroes and the Taihang Mountain Rebels you and I represent, as well as Tong Guan, Wang Yu, Ma Yu, Ye Lu Yu Yan and other generations, are all chess pieces on this chessboard. It's a little ironic that Zhizhu, who was originally in charge of the winner, is now a prisoner - this is really a little unexpected!"

"Is your husband mocking my brother?" Meng De couldn't help staring at him.

"No, that's not what I mean." Bai Shu waved his fan with a smile, "Xiaosheng and Brother Chu are also the same as before, and it's too late to see each other. Instead of mocking Brother Chu, Xiaosheng admired him very much. Imagine that it is related to the fate of the two countries and involves so many popular figures, but Brother Chu wanders between them with an ordinary body, and the universe is in his sleeve. With great wisdom and courage, he holds all the current situation in his hands! This grand layout and exquisite strategy are interlocking with each other step by step, but it is self-contained. In the end, it is a good way to change your life! This is enough to amaze Su Qin, Zhang Yi and other generations of the pre-Qin Dynasty. As for Brother Chu's arrest, it's just because the villain can't be prevented. This kind of accident is inevitable.

"Well, Mr. Bai is a scholar, and Mr. Meng is a rough man. I can't understand most of what you said." Meng De was a little anxious and said anxiously, "Sir, please tell me how to save my brother? If you need people, Meng can go back to Xishan immediately and prepare in advance!"

"The last thing you don't need is people." Bai Xi straightened his face and said, "In this game, Xishan, Taihang and Shengjie Army, including the Taiyuan government, are chess pieces of the same color. Our only enemy and common enemy is the State of Jin. Therefore, we can't fight in our own way, and we can't tear our faces and have a grudge before the war.

"How can I save my brother? Is it possible to wait for Tong Guan to suddenly change his conscience and let him go!?" Meng De was in a hurry.

"Well, what if Tong Guan is dead?" Bai Shu suddenly said.

Meng De was stunned, "Well, how could he die?"

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Brother Chu, the subtlety of this game of chess is to kill more birds with one stone. All the wins and losses are revealed only in these two days. Therefore, we must calm down - as long as Tong Guan dies, the victorious army will have no leader. Tong Guan's two generals, one is Wang Wei and the other is Liu Yanqing. In contrast, Liu Yanqing's authority is more powerful, but Wang's prestige among the sergeants is higher. He is also the master of Brother Chu, and he is an anti-gold general who is like-minded with me. Therefore, what Meng Zhai mainly does is to control Liu Yanqing so that Wang can successfully take over the military power!"

"This is easy to do!" Meng Dehao stood up and said, "That person is greedy for money and lustful, and stays in Huajie and Liu Lane all day long. In the past few days, I sent my brother to keep an eye on him, knowing that he had a new outdoor concubine and stayed there every day. I have seven or eight brothers with me on this trip, all of whom are masters with extraordinary skills. It's easy to catch a Liu Yanqing! - Why don't I catch him now?"

"I'm not busy." Bai Xu smiled mysteriously, shook the fan slowly and said, "You have to wait until the fire at the foot of Taihang Mountain is full, and the owner of Mengzhai will wait for the maneuver!"

"Is there a fire in Taihang Mountain?" Meng De blinked confusedly, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Ha ha!" Bai Shu smiled and said, "At present, the opportunity cannot be revealed. In a word, this is a wonderful game of chess played by Brother Chu for a long time, but at the end of the game, he suddenly walked away. However, there were not many people who knew the power of this game, so Bai had to continue to finish the game for him. At present, this endgame is exquisitely linked step by step, and it can't be wrong. Otherwise, you will lose thousands of miles, and you will lose the whole game if you are not careful!"

"It's really hot to deal with a scholar like Mr. Bai!" Meng De was angry and funny, "I hate to open my husband's head and see what's in your mind!"

"Haha!" Bai Yu laughed and said, "Master Mengzhai, don't be impatient. It's better to sit down. Let's see how Bai took over Brother Chu. After playing this game, he has already laid out a perfect and wonderful chess!"

"Well, I'm just afraid that my brother will suffer!" Meng De said worriedly, "He just came back from Xishan seriously injured, and now he is in prison again. He is going to be beheaded!" The two of us are brothers. We don't want to live together, but we want to die! - If Ziyuan dies, Meng De will never live alone!"

"Master Mengzhai is really righteous!" Bai Xun hugged Meng De and said, "Bai guarantees his life that your brother is safe. How about it?"

"Good! - Mr. Meng De can believe it!"

At the foot of Taihang Mountain, banners are displayed, and the horns are blown.

Yelu Yu took his bow and rode on the horse. He said to Tong Guan beside him, "If the master doesn't want to accompany you, please stay!" Someone went to the deep mountains alone today, and he must hunt a tiger back! Otherwise, I won't give up!"

Tong Guan smiled bitterly and walked around with him in the deep mountains and old forests yesterday, tired and bitter. I didn't even look at the shadow of the tiger. I didn't think this one would not give up, and he has to go again today.

But when he heard him say "I won't give up", the four-character child was also helpless. It was not easy to touch his face, so he had to say, "Xiao Wang must accompany him!"

"The prince is so bold, let's go!" Yelu Yu smiled and said, "Although I didn't find any trace of the tiger yesterday, based on my years of experience, I concluded that there must be fierce beasts in this mountain. I can't say, I'm going to hunt him today and take his good meat to drink. If you can fulfill this brown wish, you can sit down and discuss state affairs with the prince!"

Tong Guan finally heard a nice word, so he cheered up and said with a smile, "Your messenger, please!"

"Your Majesty, please!" Yelu Yu was not polite. As soon as he pulled the whip, he opened his horseshoe and ran out first. But I said in my heart: Just because Chu Tianya is not here and I am not familiar with the path, I didn't kill you yesterday in a hurry, but just looking for a way out. Chu Tianya hasn't returned for a long time, and most of the time something has happened; if you stay here for one more time, it will be more dangerous - so today, you will be forgiven!
