Chapter 10 The Last Game

"Xiao Chenzi, our family is dying..."

The first words Li Gonggong spoke made Su Chen stunned.

In fact, after this year, he could clearly feel that Eunuch Li's health was getting worse and worse, and he had long since reached the point where he was exhausted. In these years, he had relied entirely on the medicinal properties of Zuogui wine to barely survive.

Today I saw him with a rosy complexion and full of energy, which was like a sign of recovery.

"What are you talking about, father-in-law? Your body is still strong and you will definitely live a long life..."

He smiled and comforted.

After all, Eunuch Li treated him well, and seeing that he was about to die now made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Life or death is a matter of fate. Our family has long ignored it. But you, I didn't expect you to be willing to stay with me, an old man who is about to die..."

The old eunuch smiled.

Then he waved to Su Chen and asked Su Chen to sit down opposite him, and said: "Today there is a storm and snow in the imperial city, and the world is changing. Come and play a final game of chess with me..."

"good!"

Su Chen did not refuse.

He set out immediately, fetched the chessboard and chess pieces, and placed them on the table.

At this time, on the other side of the Imperial City, in the direction of the Qiankun Palace, you could faintly see flags fluttering, and countless guards moving around, just like troops forming formations.

Now this imperial city is just a huge chessboard.

All chess players have made arrangements and are just waiting for the final fight.

"The world is changing all the time, but it's just a different person taking over the throne. What does that have to do with us? Boy, you don't care about fame and wealth, so why bother with the changes. They fight for theirs, let's fight for ours..."

Eunuch Li said, twisting a sunspot and dropping it.

Su Chen also withdrew his gaze and tried to calm down.

Although he has the ability to live forever, he has experienced too few things and has a stable mind, so he cannot compare with an old man like Eunuch Li who has seen through the world.

This is something he really needs to learn and get used to.

Because in the long years to come, he will experience a lot and witness a lot of things like this.

"I have been playing chess with you for three years, and I always lose more than I win. This time, I will go all out."

As Su Chen said, the white pieces fell down, each took their own space, and the two began to fight.

"Then let us see what you are capable of."

While talking, the two of them came and went.

Not long after, the chessboard was covered with chess pieces, black and white were fighting, and the teeth were intertwined.

The sky also gradually darkened.

There were faint sounds of fighting in the wind and snow, and there were flames reaching into the sky from the directions of Qiankun Palace, Zhengyang Palace, Shude Palace, etc.

The cold snowy night was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Even the moon in the sky seemed to be covered with a faint scarlet color.

"I don't know how many people will die this night..."

Su Chen felt a little emotional.

Holding the hand, I couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Although he tried his best to be calm and calm, but it was the first time he was in such turmoil, and he still couldn't do it.

Eunuch Li did not urge him this time.

He picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, and looked at the distant distance where the war was raging, slightly lost in thought.

I don’t know how much time passed.

The increasingly fierce war spread to more places.

I guess it will be difficult to decide the winner for a while.

"Eunuch, do you think the eldest princess has a chance of winning?"

Su Chen asked.

"That girl was raised by our family. She is capable, wealthy, and capable. The three sons of the late emperor are all mediocre people. She has been hiding her talents and biding her time in Kuiyuan for more than ten years, so she has made all preparations.

Just waiting for this day..."

Eunuch Li said calmly.

No wonder he has always been so calm, he probably already guessed the ending.

"Why, do you regret not leaving with her? If you go with her, after tomorrow, you will be a famous person in the royal palace, and you can control the wind and rain in this deep palace..."

"What are you regretting? Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. How can we be so carefree in Kuiyuan?"

Su Chen shook his head.

"Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, that's right..."

Hearing this, Eunuch Li sighed and said with a smile: "Back then, our family served the dragon well and was the late emperor's most trusted technical and brave manager. But in the end, it was not the same. He was disabled and no one cared about him in this Kuiyuan.

…”

"Father, you were involved because of the eldest princess, right?"

"Your boy is indeed smart."

Eunuch Li nodded, with a hint of reminiscence in his expression: "When our family first entered the palace, we made a mistake and were imprisoned in a water prison and almost starved to death. It was His Highness's biological mother, Concubine Yun, who saved my life.

Concubine Yun died early and entrusted me to take care of the princess. When the Fengming case happened, the late emperor had murderous intentions. Our family worked hard to get rid of a serious enemy of the late emperor. In exchange, the princess's life was saved...

"

Unexpectedly, there is such a connection between Eunuch Li and the eldest princess.

The old eunuch repaid his kindness and was considered a sweetheart.

"Now that she has emerged from the abyss, our family has repaid the kindness we had in the past. After going to Jiuquan, we can face Concubine Yun calmly."

Eunuch Li said and turned his head.

Su Chen noticed that the blush on his face was slowly fading.

It's obviously almost time for the oil to run out.

"Boy, our family doesn't have much time. Although you have only been in Kuiyuan for three years, you still respect me as an old guy. Our family also knows that you want to practice martial arts. The reason why we didn't teach you martial arts before is because you haven't really started yet.

, Now that I am about to die, I cannot carry this martial arts into the coffin, so I will pass it on to you..."

Said.

He took out a yellowed manuscript from his sleeve and handed it over.

Su Chen looked solemn and quickly took it with both hands.

On the blue cover, five big characters were written in flying colors: "Tiangang Boy Gong"!

This is actually a profound skill that can be practiced both internally and externally!

Cultivate pure yang internal energy to protect and strengthen the body, take into account both internal and external aspects, and achieve both offensive and defensive capabilities.

It can be said to be a top-notch martial arts secret.

To be honest, Su Chen was a little surprised.

He originally just wanted the old eunuch to teach him a few moves, but he didn't expect that now he would be able to get his inheritance.

"This martial art was learned by our family from a wandering monk. Although it is only a fragment, it is much better than ordinary martial arts. Our family has been practicing this method for decades, barely getting started, and in this way, we can achieve the goal.

The peak of marrow refining, half-step to the innate state. Although you started very late, your character is still good, and your Yuanyang body has not been broken. If you can persevere, it will not be difficult to protect yourself after practicing this skill..."

Eunuch Li then warned some things to pay attention to when practicing this skill.

Then he also told Su Chen about Zuogui wine and some prescriptions to assist in physical training.

"Our family has already said hello to the kitchen. After I die, Zuogui wine will be delivered every day, but only for three years. After three years, you will be on your own..."

Hear this.

Su Chen felt a little moved in his heart.

Eunuch Li was really kind to him. Before his death, he not only passed down the martial arts to himself, but also made follow-up arrangements.

He truly treats him as his nephew and descendant.

"Thank you so much, father-in-law. Su Chen will remember this kindness in his heart. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I will do my best to fulfill them for you."

"Haha, I am a disabled person with no children. I have lived for sixty years. I have lived a long life. I don't have any unfulfilled wishes."

Eunuch Li shook his head.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, and murmured: "I regret that in this life, I have not been able to fulfill my filial piety in front of my parents. And my sister, I don't know if she is still alive..."

"Father-in-law, do you have any relatives?"

When Su Chen heard this, he was about to continue questioning, but found that the old eunuch had lowered his head, and the chess pieces in his hand fell on the chessboard, scattered all over the floor...
