Chapter 2193: Grasping thousands of miles of wind and frost
There has never been any organization in the world that can flourish like Sanfenxianglou today.
Dou Zhao said that they were "Flying Immortals", which was indeed true.
This is especially true after he bravely broke away from Chu and took the initiative to cut off what the world thought of as his "roots."
Jiang Wang went to the Sanfenxiang Tower in Maplewood City in Zhuang State, the Sanfenxiang Tower in Tianfu City and Linzi in Qi State, the Sanfenxiang Tower in Yingcheng in Chu State, and Sanfenfenxiang Tower in many places.
Fragrance building.
Of course nothing is the same as before.
After leaving Zhuang Guo, he was not greedy for enjoyment and always devoted himself to cultivation.
The reason why I was pulled away by my friends was probably because I was subconsciously familiar with it. I was familiar with the traces of my life in Maplewood City, so I wasn't so resistant.
Or maybe there are indeed some causes and conditions somewhere?
Jiang Wang had never thought about it.
He had never thought about such a problem.
It's like he never thought that one day he would hear this name in Ye Lan'er's mouth.
"What do you mean?" he asked, looking at Ye Lan'er.
Isn't the relationship between Miaoyu and Sanfenxiang Tower that she once hid in Zhuang Guo's branch building for a period of time?
At that time, Miaoyu was the witch of the White Bone Path, the "Tao Fruit" prepared by the White Bone God for his incarnation.
Later, Yuzhen was a nun from Xiyue Temple, hiding in the depths of the bamboo forest, and reading the Qingdeng Ancient Scroll.
Sanfenxiang Tower is just a cover, just a cloak for the woman named "Bai Lian" in Maplewood City.
Why is Ye Lan'er mentioned?
Why was Miaoyu’s name suddenly mentioned after the heavy casualties in Sanfenxiang Tower?
Ye Lan'er looked back at Jiang Wang's eyes with her flawless beautiful eyes: "You're nervous."
"Do you know why I always keep a distance from you?" Jiang Wang asked.
Ye Lan'er thought for a while: "It seems so. It has been like this in Chu State since then. You always keep a distance from me. So why?"
The corners of her mouth curved just right, revealing a truly charming and perfect smile: "Because I'm not pretty enough, I'm just one of the top five you've ever seen? After all these years, I'm still worried about who is the best you've ever seen?"
"Because your expression is really fake." Jiang Wang said coldly: "And you have no sense of distance and like to make inappropriate jokes."
Every expression on Ye Lan'er's face is carefully designed, and it has almost become an instinct.
Including her hurt, weakness, and pity at this moment.
But there was a smile in her eyes: "I understand, distance creates beauty. But I am too close to you."
"Don't bother me." Jiang Wang breathed gently, using this action to calm his emotions: "What did you mean by that question just now?"
He thought of a lot at this moment.
For example, when we first came into contact with him, Ye Laner was overly curious.
For example, why did Ye Lan'er help him deal with Zhang Linchuan's doppelganger Yang Chongzu at that time?
Although he later paid for it by ensuring that Sanfenxiang Tower would not be suppressed by official forces in Linzi. But if Sanfenxiang Tower wanted to develop in Qi State, as long as it was willing to spend the money, there would be many choices, and he was not the only one. Even Liu Xiuzhang
, they had obviously hooked up with Jiang Wuyou.
He and Ye Lan'er didn't have that kind of friendship at all. What reason did Ye Lan'er have to help him without saying a word, or even move faster than the Duke of Huai?
Ye Lan'er opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly smiled and swallowed back all the uncontrollable words: "I just want to ask you a question - if that 'Miaoyu' was still in Sanfenxiang Building, would you still be like this?
Tell me? What does it have to do with you?"
Jiang Wang had no expression: "It's a boring question."
"You dare not answer?" Yelan'er asked.
Jiang Wang looked at her calmly: "Sanfen Xianglou is not defenseless, nor is it innocent. In life, you have to take responsibility for your own choices. Do you sympathize with those people in Nandou Hall? No matter who is in Sanfen
Xiangxianglou, your results have nothing to do with me. Are you satisfied with my answer?"
"If it was not Faro but Miaoyu who flew in front of you at that time, would you have saved her?" Ye Lan'er asked.
Before Jiang Wang could speak, she added: "You don't have to answer, but please don't lie to me. For the sake of my being useful in Zhang Linchuan's death."
This time, Yelan'er's face finally didn't have that typical expression. When she looked over, it showed a rare seriousness.
Jiang Wang was silent for a while, and finally said: "I don't know."
"I don't know, I just know." Ye Lan'er said.
Jiang Wang said nothing.
Ye Lan'er said: "If you don't speak, you are acquiescing."
"Okay!" Ye Lan'er said again: "If you are willing to acquiesce, that is enough. You are the promising Mr. Jiang Ge, the world-famous first genius of the human race. What does those unsatisfactory lives have to do with you? You are out today.
It’s my presumption to stop you. But I still want to take the liberty to say one more thing. Mr. Jiang Ge, although you have a life span, it is not so easy to meet those who treat you sincerely. There is no need to wait for a future meeting.
!”
"Wait, please explain clearly." Jiang Wang reached out to stop him: "What is Miaoyu's relationship with you guys?"
"It has nothing to do with it. I just heard her story." Yelan'er showed that smile with the perfect arc again: "I'm just a woman who has lost too much and is very stingy. I can't stand your calm look——
"
After saying this, she was like a piece of autumn catkins scattered in the wind.
In the end, Jiang Wang was left with nothing but the autumn wind in his hands.
He stood erect in the desolate autumn plains.
Here are the sunken valleys, the ruins of the valley kingdoms.
This is the sunken human heart, and the human heart is a wilderness.
…
…
The autumn wind blowing through the wilderness also lingers in the mountains.
The Yinxiang Peak in Yue Kingdom has been silent for many years.
In late autumn, no one sweeps the courtyard, and yellow leaves rise and fall everywhere.
Wen Jingxiu, the king of the Yue Kingdom, dressed in ordinary clothes, walked among the fallen leaves and opened the door with heavy patina.
He has never been here before, but he is familiar with everything here.
The monarch of the Yue Kingdom should not meet the retired prime minister. The high-level political platform should not be inherited. And he, Wen Jingxiu, never did anything he shouldn't do.
On the side of a crouching tiger, I dare not toss and turn easily. How can I fall asleep in a long night? Every breath has to be carefully considered.
As a qualified king, he has been in office for thirty-seven years. He is conscientious in his work, cultivating civility internally, and... also cultivating civility externally. He should do diplomacy properly, but not be too secretive in diplomacy.
Unless you can't use force, how can you use force?
He is a king who would rather not do anything and try not to make mistakes.
But is it okay if you don’t make mistakes?
Gao Zheng has been retired for so many years, but has he ever made any mistakes?
When the sun is at its peak, retreat as soon as possible.
Even the successors of the political platform were deposed, and the political platform in the first half of his life was completely revised to pave the way for those who came after him. As a cultivator of the official way, he returned his great power to the official way, retreated from the old peak, and re-established his true self.
He who bears the hope of the world can remain silent in the mountains. He who has the talent to help the world can be imprisoned in a cage.
With the support of Nandou Hall and Mugu Academy, and the watchful eyes of Shushan, I am still careful in my words and deeds, even in words and deeds. I am cautious enough and tolerant enough!
To what extent do we need to put more effort into this aspect?
Hidden Phase Peak has been closed for many years and was only opened for a child named Ge Fei.
A famous prime minister who lives deep in the mountains wants to accept a disciple to pass on his mantle. This feeling should be understood. Regarding this matter, the State of Chu was specially notified.
But so what?
On the Qiantang River, there is only the autumn wind!
Wen Jingxiu will always remember Gao Zheng’s words. Nandou Palace supports it, Mugu Academy supports it, and Shushan also selectively supports it. But Nandou Palace, Mugu Academy, and Shushan are not Yue Kingdom——
"Never regard supporting branches as your own roots."
Those forces that were actively working against the Yue State just needed a country to stand there and provide some checks and balances to the Chu State.
That country does not have to be Vietnam.
It could be the Song Dynasty, it could be the Wei Dynasty, it could be those countries that had been destroyed by the Chu Kingdom.
So where is the road to Vietnam?
Wen Jingxiu saw Ge Fei again.
This was the first time after Wu Ling's death that he saw Ge Fei. His country's genius, his confidant, his "beloved". At this time, he was still like a dog, chained to the tall joint.
Under the tree.
His hair was disheveled, his face was dirty, and he was smiling foolishly.
Wen Jingxiu didn't look at him a second time.
On the left hand side, against the courtyard wall, there is a large broom.
Wen Jingxiu walked over, held the broom with his hands that held the power of the world, and started to sweep seriously.
In fact, Ge Fei was not Gaozheng's only student.
He Wen Jingxiu often learned Tao in chess.
A game in a box, a century-old relationship between teachers and students.
This matter is not known to anyone. This is the first time in so many years that he has performed the disciple ceremony and cleaned the court for his master.
Normal University often says, don’t look at the superficial appearance of anything, get rid of the superficial impressions, and get straight to the essence of things. So you should clean it frequently.
Clean the courtyard, clean up the ignorance, clean up the dust in people's hearts, and the shadows in people's eyes.
Just like how Master Gao keeps a low profile and is cautious, as long as he is still in Yue State, Chu State cannot trust him. And what about leaving Yue State? Chu State will not allow a person like him to leave unless the final destination is
Yingcheng.
This is the fundamental reason why Gao Zheng is trapped in a hidden position. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot achieve "perfection".
If there is no reason, create a reason. If there is no excuse, create an excuse. The high-ranking government is sitting in a lonely peak and does not say anything. Even the Chu State cannot come up with an excuse. It is inconvenient for officials to take action. Just change to other forces, other
People come up with this excuse.
Wen Jingxiu didn't know what kind of deal Emperor Chu made with Raksha Mingyuejing.
But for this day by the Qiantang River...both Gao Zheng and him had predicted it.
It's just that before the blade reaches his neck, he doesn't know who is holding the knife.
Who dares to ignore the hegemony in the world?
They have always known the power of Chu.
If you dare to stroke the beard of a tiger, how can you not have the determination to feed the tiger?
This academy where high officials study behind closed doors does not have a name, not even a plaque on its door.
Yinxiang Peak originally had no name, it was just a remote mountain with no special Feng Shui.
Even the year before last, in order to clear up the rumors circulating in the territory that "high officials were sitting on the Hidden Peak and could control the situation in the country of Yue", the Yue court specially named this peak "Yunlai Peak" and erected a monument on it.
At the foot of the mountain, it was recorded in the county annals. It tried its best to downplay the influence of high politics.
But what is remembered in the end is "Hidden Phase Peak".
So you see, what is the human heart?
Gao Zheng is hidden in the mountains, but sits in the hearts of the people of Yue.
He was the only person in the history of the Yue State who got an advantage from the Chu State. He managed the situation skillfully and skillfully. People believed that he would bring unprecedented hope to the country.
Although Wen Jingxiu had never done any sweeping work, he was still a real person in this world. With one broom and one broom, he still swept the small courtyard very clean.
During this process, Ge Fei, who was already crazy, was surprisingly quiet. He just tilted his head, drooled, and looked at him blankly. Perhaps this body, which is completely isolated from thoughts, is also familiar with this scene?
Wen Jingxiu put down his broom, walked around the tall knotted tree, and walked around this person, but after thinking about it, he walked back again. He wiped off Le Fei's saliva with his sleeve, wiped it twice, and simply wiped it again.
I got some water and washed his face.
Then he straightened the young man up, used magic to clean him, straightened his clothes, combed his hair, and asked him to sit under the tree.
In this way, this genius of the Yue Kingdom with a strange face has a somewhat informal and distinguished attitude, resting against a tree.
Of course, Wen Jingxiu had never helped anyone dress up before, but according to his daily experience of being served, he did it in a decent manner. During the whole process, Ge Fei could not be said to cooperate, but he did not resist.
Walking past Ge Fei again, Wen Jingxiu's mood suddenly calmed down.
The storm is about to come. Even though he has been teaching himself to endure it for half his life and can face the thunder directly, he still sighs at the leakage in the house.
He pushed open the inconspicuous door and came to the back mountain.
High cliffs, green moss, clouds and mist, smooth white stone chessboards, these are all.
The old man who always sat alone in the back is no longer there.
But the chess pieces are still there, and the chess game is not over yet.
On the nineteen vertical and horizontal lanes, black and white chess pieces are intertwined, and the dragon is entangled in one place. It has several vertical and horizontal twists and turns, which is extremely dangerous.
Wen Jingxiu walked forward silently and sat down in the seat where Gao Zheng usually sat. He began to take the long exam.
The stone chess bench opposite Gao Zheng has been empty all year round, and no one has ever sat on it. As far as Wen Jingxiu knows, only 'Ge Fei', who has just returned from the mountains and seas, has sat on it ignorantly.
Ever since Gao Zheng started teaching him, he has never been rude again.
Over the years, who has Gao Zheng been playing chess with, and who is his opponent?
As time goes by, maybe everything will have an answer.
Sunset, sunset, nightfall, dawn, sunset again.
Wen Jingxiu thought quietly for a day and night, and finally stretched out his hand for the first time. His fingers were very long, the joints were clear, and they were very organized. They were very suitable for playing chess.
This hand is empty, just full of wind and frost.
He did not take the pieces in the chess basket because he knew that he did not have the ability to master this game of chess.
His eyes wandered along the nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, and his index finger moved accordingly, and finally stopped at a key point in the chess game. The blank point, at this moment, became virtual and real, and slowly condensed the chess pieces.
This is such a crucial chess piece!
You don't think so at first glance. But after it solidifies into a specific chess piece and actually falls, you will find that if it is black, the black dragon will swallow the sun, and if it is white, the whole board will be filled with daylight.
This key piece repeats false and true, black and white, and is constantly changing.
The situation of the entire chess game is therefore constantly repeated.
Victory or defeat can happen in a moment, life or death can happen in an instant.
Sweat broke out on Wen Jingxiu's forehead, as if he was really facing a life-and-death situation, with his life hanging by a thread. The game of chess in the world was being carried by his thin index finger.
But he grinned and smiled hard.
"Master Gao, you said that as long as you live, Chu will never let down its guard."
"You said you didn't want to die. You said you would work hard to survive, but you might not be able to escape in the end."
"You said that you have been playing chess all your life, but you never got the chance to verify your computing power."
"Four years ago you said you would die and no one could save you."
"Master Gao, everything you said has come true——"
Wen Jingxiu's index finger came down and held down the ever-changing key chess piece, making it invisible in black and white, virtual and real.
Another drop of water fell and hit the back of his finger.
Wen Jingxiu, the very delicate-looking leader of the Dai Viet Kingdom, spoke slowly, as if announcing a decree: "This game of chess has not begun until now."
