Chapter 123 Chessboard Black and White

Qingfu Garden.

After a few snows in winter, the hibiscus trees in the Qingfu Garden were completely covered with heavy snow, pressing on the head of the hibiscus tree like a cloud phoenix crown with white flowers.

The white phoenix crown, the pale haze, oh, Yunshang looked up at the trees before Lu Shenluozi, and suddenly there was a little faint envy. If it hadn't been for the intervention of the third person, would she have been paired with that person long ago and become the pair of treasure-watching mandarin ducks who envy and hatred in the eyes of all her peers?

It seems useless to think about this. Of course, what else can you do besides making yourself sad?

The hibiscus tree on the top of her head made a fluttering sound. Her neck was cold, and she couldn't help shrinking. When she looked up, a bigger ball of snow was lying in the palm of Lu Shen's hand that blocked the top of her head in time.

That snow is really big.

Lu Shen frowned and his fingers shrank, afraid that the snow would fall on her body and stain her robe. He looked carefully in her eyes. Hearing that he couldn't help gasping, Yunshang couldn't help smiling and shaking her head.

"Okay, where have you been?" Lu Shen shook his hand and shook the floating ice in his hand. He came over and looked down at the chess pieces on the board. He took a glance and sat down casually, "Why haven't you seen Min Yan for a long time?"

"He? He is busy at the moment. Yunshang blinked and took out a silk embroidered ropa from his sleeve and handed it to him. A white plum blossom on the veil is zero and single, but it has a lonely charm.

Lu Shen was stunned and seemed to be a little hesitant. He took the veil and symbolically wiped her arm. She had lowered her head to look at the chess surface. The black man placed a layout in a staggered way. Lu Shen's eyes also fell on it. From today on, when he began to play chess, he was a little touched and felt that today's game was a game. Yunshang walked leisurely, as if she was in chess, and seemed to put all her thoughts elsewhere.

On her veil... it seems that there is really a wisp of white plum fragrance.

"What is he up to?" Lu Shen's spirit seemed to be particularly relaxed. He smiled and saw that she had carefully fallen on the chessboard, and he also pinched a white one.

"You won't be as busy with your own affairs like Gu Zitao, will you?" He smiled narrowly, and there was a trace of play on Dunhou's face.

"He... is probably busy killing people at this moment, right?" She smiled and raised her eyebrows, and her pure smile was as clear as the old hibiscus of the tree under the snow.

******

On the eaves of the corridor, there is also white snow, but under the pure color, there are people who draw their swords.

Min Yan held a dagger in one hand. The sword was very beautiful and depicted with very careful patterns, but this man's eyes were as red as blood.

"Minyan! What are you doing!" Yamo, who was firmly pinched, was very frightened. When he looked at this person, his eyes turned terrible, as if his familiar face was already impermanent in the hell of Shura.

"I... I naturally killed you. The little princess also said that if you see danger, the person who is not ruled out is a fool. Brother Yamo, don't blame me. I'm not a fool. I can't look at my brother..."

Min Zhong betrayed the little princess. He knew that the little princess Lou Yunshang would not keep him.

"The little princess can have other servants who are loyal to her, but I only have one brother." His voice suddenly sobbed, choking and clenching the short blade in his hand.

***

Yunshang leaned back and laughed completely, "Haha! Brother Lu, have you also begun to pay attention to this kind of thing? I thought it was only our girls who liked to inquire about this kind of thing.

Lu Jin's face turned red and casually dropped a piece on the chessboard. The crisscrossed chessboard was already covered with chess pieces. The two of them were equally powerful, but they did not distinguish between them.

"This son is really wonderful. Brother Lu, I lost." She looked at the chessboard calmly and raised her head and said.

Lu Jin also looked at the chessboard, frowned, nodded a chess piece with his finger, and made a slod sound, "Do you really think you have lost?"

"Yes, in fact, this chess book should not be played today." Yunshang stretched out her hand and messed up the chess pieces, black, white and white. Suddenly, she couldn't tell the difference between you and my enemies and friends.

Life is like chess, officialdom is like chess, and human nature is like chess.

It has always been black or white.

There has never been absolutely right or wrong.

When black, white and white are put together, who can pick out these chaos and complexity in one hand?

Seeing her like this, Lu Jin relaxed instead. Today, she looks a little different from usual.

"Are people good or evil?" Yunshang held her cheek with one hand and looked at a hibiscus tree with a piece of snow on the bare branches. "I want to try it like this to see whether the cute and pure child is black or white."

"I thought so in my heart, looking forward to seeing the result, but I was scared from the bottom of my bones. I was very afraid that the result was not what I wanted to see." After saying that, she smiled relievedly, shook her head, and felt weak and bored with her ambivalence.

Lu Jin lowered his head and thought for a while, but did not come to any good conclusion. He had to look up at her pair of eyes as deep as a deep spring, and a sadness overflowed from there without warning. Seeing this, his heart couldn't help but cool down, "What on earth did you let Minyan do?" He doesn't know why, but he always feels that it's a very troublesome thing that the child hasn't seen anyone today.

Not to mention Min Yan, even Lian Zhun, who always sticks to Yunshang, is gone?

What kind of play is this?

"He is probably still struggling at this time."

"Killing?" Lu Jin's eyebrows were locked high, and he grabbed the pieces in a chess box, which rang for a long time. Who is he going to kill? Who can make him so hateful? Minyan is a good boy.

"You're wrong again, Brother Lu, people, don't just kill people because of hatred. Sometimes, they will also kill others because of love." She looked deeply at the white snow beside her. "No matter how pure the snow is, it will be stained with muddy stains after being placed on the earth for a long time. What's more, he is a living person.

"So... who cooperated with you in this scene? Who is the person Min Yan wants to kill? Lu Jin seemed to realize that what Yunshang said was not a joke, and his expression became solemn.

"It's Yamo." Yunshang's short answer. He is the only one I can borrow.

"Aren't you afraid that Minyan can't control himself and really kills Yamo?" Lu Jin also doesn't understand what Yunshang is thinking at this moment. No matter who the person being tested is, it is a living life.

Yunshang looked at his frightened face, and a trace of impetuousness appeared in his heart. He raised his hand, touched the chess box made of jade, and almost knocked over a box of black and white.

"Do you think I will really let Yamo die?" Yunshang smiled contemptuously, and Lu Jin couldn't help thinking too cruelly. Her heart had not been so vicious. Besides, if something happened to Yamo, the first thing she was sorry for was probably not her conscience, but the fourth brother, Lou Yunyu.

******

The person opposite had only murderous intent. Yamo looked at him without screaming in fear. On the contrary, he seemed to have calmed down and seemed to know that he would die today, so he no longer struggled meaninglessly.

It's just that when Yamo looked at him, his eyes were full of pity and compassion.

Min Yan also looked at him, and the short blade in his hand began to tremble inexplicably, as if the person to be killed at this moment was not Yamo but himself!

"This knife was given to me by the little princess. How can I kill people with it!" He suddenly lowered his head, and the tears in his eyes rushed out. He suddenly let go of his hand, and the short blade in his hand fell to the ground, making a bang. He squatted on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and began to cry.

Yamo, who was finally relieved, took two steps back. His heart kept beating wildly. He looked down at his wrist, and his joints had turned red. After a critical moment of life and death, there was almost no blood trembling on Yamo's lips. He couldn't help reaching out to hold the porch pillar beside him, so that he could stand still and not fall to the ground with his feet.

"Brother Yamo, I... I almost made a big mistake just now!" He squatted on the ground and cried with tears on his face, and the voice of the changing period was particularly unpleasant. Yamo held the porch pillar and looked down at him crying. He was cruel, pulled off his upper clothes and said to him, "Look up."

Min Yan rubbed his face and did as he said.

On Yamo's body in front of him was a very strange vest. Against the white snow, it reflected a little bright light like fish scales.

"This is..." He was shocked, this thing...

The vest made of soft silk can protect against swords. Minyan, everything you have today is in the control of the little princess. She is a kind-hearted person and doesn't want to implicate you because of your brother's affairs, but she needs a truth to make others have nothing to say about her decision. This truth is your sincerity, your loyalty, and your kindness.

He squatted down and said in front of Min Yan, "Today's matter was actually arranged by the little princess. She believes that you are a good child and that your brother's matter has nothing to do with you. This soft silkworm dress was specially allowed to be worn by the little princess because she was worried that I would have an accident.

Everything about you is under the control of the little princess...

This sentence is like a spell floating back and forth in Minyan's ear. The short blade on the ground shone faintly, and a pair of small stones inlaid on it are like a pair of eyes, laughing at their every move.

***

"I heard that you went to the palace yesterday and asked someone to borrow a baby?" Lu Jin suddenly thought of this thing.

Sure enough, the eyeliner of the Lu family is not in vain. It seems that there are many people in the East Palace who are from the Lu family. Yes, I borrowed a soft silkworm coat from the prince. What she said is very honest. It's the simplest reason not to lie in front of a real person.

"Soft silkworm clothes?" Lu Jin was so smart that he frowned and figured out, "You are really a soft-hearted person."

"Soft-hearted?" Yunshang touched her nose and laughed. This action reminded her of Lian Zhun and smiled more relaxedly, "Maybe. Anyway, I can't watch Yamo die. You have to find a way to protect him, don't you? She stood up, flattened her clothes, and smiled brightly at Lu Jin. The white snow and hibiscus trees became the background behind her.

"Let's go back to Lianxin Xiaozhu. I guess... They should also come back."

"Good. In addition, Yunshang, have you thought about what gift to give to your majesty at the New Year's banquet?

"A gift for the New Year? I have to think about it again." As the two of them said, as they passed through the yard of Qingfu Garden, layers of snow creaked under their feet.

"You asked Yamo to do such a dangerous thing and gave him a soft silk dress?"

"I think someone will give him something else." She blinked and played a riddle.

***

"It turns out that the little princess..." Min Yan has been completely stunned by what Yamo said just now. He didn't expect that the little princess could favor himself so much. According to the law of the Dafeng Dynasty, one person touched the law and the whole family sat together. He... What face did he have to see her?

"If you want to thank the little princess, you might as well be loyal to the rest of your life." Yamo helped him up and said, "Let's go, the little princess is waiting for us to go back."

Minyan nodded gratefully and wiped away the tears in his eyes. Fortunately, he didn't stab him.

Yamo walked behind him, gently touched the secret poison needle of Tangmen hidden in his sleeve, and shook his head to catch the traces.
