Su Xinghe stroked his long beard with one hand and looked at Murong Fu carefully, always with a strange smile on his face.
When Ding Chunqiu saw Murong Fu raising his head, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but immediately a chill ran down his spine. When he looked at Murong Fu again, he saw that he was looking at him with a smile but not a smile. His eyes were dull, but he gave people a feeling.
A chilling feeling.
"Mr. Ding," Murong Fu said calmly: "I don't hate others for robbing me, nor do I hate others for taking advantage of others. What I hate the most is for others to do things behind my back."
Others were confused, but only Ding Chunqiu understood that Murong Fu was warning himself that the previous grudges were nothing, but if he was tricked this time, he would not be as easy to talk to as before.
Although he was extremely angry, Ding Chunqiu still nodded with a calm expression, "Mr. Murong, don't worry, I'm here to take charge and no one will attack you."
"Really? Thank you very much, Mr. Ding." Murong Fu nodded with a half-smile, and then looked at Su Xinghe, "Murong Fu, please give me some advice, Mr. Congbian!"
Su Xinghe nodded, "Please!"
Murong Fu lowered his head and looked at the chessboard. He had studied this game a lot. In layman's terms, many of the chess pieces were dead, especially the white chess piece that was at a disadvantage.
However, the purpose of Murong Fu coming here was not to play chess. He glanced at it and saw a white chess piece in the middle surrounded by black chess pieces. There happened to be an empty space.
"Brush", Murong Fu waved his sleeves and a white chess piece beside him slowly floated up and landed on the empty seat.
"This..." Everyone was shocked, "This is not playing chess."
"Nonsense, there's no way you can fill it up as soon as you come up."
"There was still hope, but now a large piece of white chess has completely become a dead chess piece, and there is no way to save it."
…
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd. Although the people present had different chess skills, they all knew more or less. They all knew that if you fall into a fatal disaster while playing chess, you must start from the side to turn the fatal disaster into a living disaster.
Killing one's own chess pieces will undoubtedly lead to one's own demise.
Su Xinghe, on the other hand, raised his brows slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but immediately fell silent again, raising his hand and dropping it.
Murong Fu didn't care what other people said. He only knew that in order to defeat Zhenlong's chess game, he had to put himself to death and survive, so he specifically picked out those trapped chess pieces to attack.
After a while, the two men made several moves, and everyone shook their heads, thinking secretly that it seemed that Murong Fu knew that there was no hope and had given up completely.
It is worth mentioning that Murong Fu made moves very quickly and almost without thinking, while Su Xinghe played slower and slower, and had to think for a long time after every move he made.
After a stick of incense, the two of them had more than ten sons.
Just when Murong Fu's stone fell and killed the last white chess piece, his vision suddenly blurred, and he felt that the world was spinning and the surrounding scene changed drastically.
Murong Fu shook his head hard, glanced around, but was stunned.
I saw that I was standing on a majestic city tower. There were corpses wearing armor hanging in twos and threes on the wall in front of me. Blood was flowing all over the ground. The left and right sides were filled with gunpowder smoke and beacon smoke was rising everywhere.
"Kill!" A cry of killing resounded throughout the world. Murong Fu was startled and hurriedly walked to the city wall. Looking around, he saw a dark area below the city wall, full of human heads.
Some of these people were carrying ladders, some were carrying giant trees, and some were pushing dilapidated earth cannons. They swarmed in with an earth-shattering momentum, like black clouds pressing over the city.
"The army attacks the city!" These four words immediately appeared in Murong Fu's mind, but he was completely confused. "What on earth is going on?"
"Husband!" came a clear female voice, her tone full of anxiety.
Murong Fu turned around and looked. She was a woman with silver armor and red tassels and a dashing figure. Her face was so dark that she couldn't tell her appearance, but the voice was very familiar. He couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Qingtong?
"
"Husband, why are you here?" The woman who looked like Huo Qingtong stepped forward and held Murong Fu's arm. "This is too dangerous. Husband, you should follow me back to the palace first."
"Who are you? Am I not playing chess? Why are you here?" Murong Fu was dragged a few steps by the woman. Then he remembered that he was trying to solve the Zhenlong chess game, so he stopped and asked.
The woman's expression was unclear, but she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she reached out and touched Murong Fu's forehead, "Husband, what's wrong with you? I'm Qing Tong!"
Then Huo Qingtong took out a handkerchief from under his ribs and wiped it on his face, revealing a very familiar pretty face.
"Did I travel through time again?" Murong Fu's eyes glazed over for a moment. His first thought was that he had traveled through time again, but he immediately felt something was wrong. If he had traveled through time again, how should he explain the Huo Qingtong in front of him?
"No, this must be an illusion. Yes, this must be an illusion caused by Zhenlong's chess game!" Murong Fu immediately thought of Zhenlong's chess game's captivating ability and guessed that this must be an illusion.
"Pa", Murong Fu immediately gave himself a big slap.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Don't let your imagination run wild!" Huo Qingtong next to him was shocked and hurriedly reached out to hold Murong Fu's arm, "The green hills will not have to worry about the lack of firewood, and the gains and losses of one city and one place will be saved."
It’s nothing, we can start over again.”
Murong Fu felt the burning pain on his face, and became even more confused. He looked up to the sky and shouted: "Who can tell me what is going on?"
"Husband, husband!" Huo Qingtong shook Murong Fu's shoulders, "Brother Deng in front of us is almost unable to resist. Let's go back to the palace first and let the people from Lingxiao Pavilion escort you out of the siege."
Huo Qingtong didn't know why Murong Fu suddenly became like this, but at this moment, the situation was urgent and he couldn't care about so much. He could only send Murong Fu away first.
"What about you?" Murong Fu couldn't help but blurted out.
"Me?" Huo Qingtong was stunned for a moment, "I have given my whole life to my husband. I was supposed to accompany him until his death, but now the situation is beyond Qingtong's control. I only hope that my husband can escape and be a good person from now on and make a comeback."
"Please tell me clearly what the situation is." When Murong Fu saw the despair in Huo Qingtong's eyes, especially the hint of hatred that iron could not become steel, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, and he could no longer care about time travel or not.
, I just want to clarify the current situation first.
"Husband, Song Gou is about to attack. Let's first..."
"What first? First, tell me what all this is about, starting with you marrying me!" Murong Fu interrupted Huo Qingtong with a wave of his hand and asked seriously.
Seeing Murong Fu's determination, Huo Qingtong gritted her teeth. After a while, she sighed slightly and said, "Five years ago, I came to the Central Plains with you from my hometown..."
After Huo Qingtong's explanation, Murong Fu finally understood roughly what was going on. It turned out that more than four years ago, the Murong family held high the flag of righteousness and declared themselves king. All parties responded and joined in.
The matter went very smoothly, but within two years, all the land in the cities and towns south of Jiangnan was under the control of the Murong family.
As a result, the Murong family grew stronger and became even more powerful. Although the Lin'an Mansion of the Song Dynasty was still there, everyone at that time felt that it was just lingering on and would automatically perish even if they did not send troops, so they began to consider the matter of founding a country.
Because the Murong family also recruited many talents during the war, these people advocated the establishment of a new imperial court, while the old ministers of the Murong family, led by Deng Baichuan, advocated the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty again. For this reason, two distinct factions were formed.
, and the strength is comparable.
At that time, Murong Fu had established relationships with several palaces, and the maids sent by officials from all over the country were all selected from a thousand. Their appearance was not even inferior to that of Huo Qingtong and others. He actually got carried away and gradually became obsessed with it and ignored political affairs.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. Murong Fu was like this, and the soldiers below were even more unbearable and began to enjoy themselves. Especially in a comfortable place like the Jiangnan Water Town, the soldiers indulged in sex, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and kept refraining from it. Their morale plummeted.
Such days lasted for nearly a year. Because Deng Baichuan had a deep foundation in the Murong family, the other emerging faction eventually fell into a disadvantage. Coupled with Murong Fu's inaction, many generals left in anger.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the world that the Murong family was a Hu tribe outside the Great Wall and was trying to invade the Han people's country.
At this time, the Song Dynasty, which had been "living on its last breath", took advantage of the situation, gathered its old generals, and began to counterattack the Murong family. Not only that, the Jin Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom, which were at war with the Mongols, actually sent troops to deal with the Murong family at the same time.
The Murong family was caught off guard and retreated steadily, but the accumulation over the years was not in vain. It was delayed for two years, and until today, only the city at their feet was left.
And this city is the Tianlong City that the Murong family built to serve as their capital.
"Will I really become like that?" After listening to Huo Qingtong's narration, Murong Fu couldn't help but frown. He thought that although he was lustful, he was not completely unreasonable, especially as a time traveler, how could he do this?
Such a superficial mistake?
"Husband, Song Gou's army is approaching the city. We probably can't resist it anymore. You...you should leave quickly!" Huo Qingtong sighed and said, if she didn't love the person in front of her so much, she would have gone back to the army long ago.
"No!" Murong Fu shook his head, "I will not abandon you. By the way, where are Yan'er, Xue'er and Lianxing?"
Murong Fu suddenly remembered that Huo Qingtong should not be the only woman beside him.
Huo Qingtong was startled for a while, and then asked in shock after a while, "Is it possible that your husband has lost his memory? How could he forget all about your sisters?"
"I can't explain the reason at the moment. Please tell me first, what happened to them?" Murong Fu asked.
"Because Miss Wang opposed your obsession with women, she interfered with your affairs many times, and you..."
Murong Fu's heart tightened, "Killed by me?"
"Humph!" Huo Qingtong snorted and rolled his eyes slightly, "You've locked me up."
Murong Fu breathed a sigh of relief, "Where's Xue'er?"
"She is currently stationed at Ximen. I don't know what the situation is. As for Lianxing and the others..."
"Chichi", suddenly two sounds broke through the air, and then two feather arrows were shot towards the two of them.
