Wen Cangyuan held a chess piece in his hand, looked at the chessboard in front of him with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "Seeing this chess game reminds me of the situation in the northwest. The situation of black chess is just like the current situation.
"
"Oh." Cao Zhuying replied lightly.
"Look, this black chess piece looks majestic, but inside it is fragmented and the situation is difficult."
Cao Zhuying looked at the chessboard and said: "These four black chess pieces are the four large-shaped palaces. What is this cut-off tail?"
"Don't forget, Yu Xing has more than four pieces." Wen Cangyuan looked at the chessboard and grabbed a handful of chess pieces in his hand, "When Yu Xing moved north, it split into two branches in Tanku, and most of them went to the northwest.
, became today’s Four Great Halls, and a small group entered the bitter cold land in the Northeast. There has been no news over the years. But according to my estimation, it’s time for them to come out.”
"Thank you, senior brother." Cao Zhuying replied flatly and took a sip of slightly cold tea.
"Look, this largest black chess piece is like the North Palace led by Gu Mandong. Under the control of these white chess pieces, unless this is the case." Wen Cangyuan said, preparing to move the chess piece in his hand.
Put the chess pieces on the chessboard to explain the situation in the northwest.
"It's a pity that Gu Yantong is isolated in the northwest, and it is unlikely that outside help will come." Cao Zhuying put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at the chess piece in Wen Cangyuan's hand thoughtfully.
"That's true." Wen Cangyuan responded, and put the chess pieces in his hands into the chess box as if nothing had happened. He held his chin and looked at the chess board, "Gu Zizang's direction of playing chess was wrong, just like this black chess piece.
, if it can be played here, it will not leave such serious congenital deficiencies in the Daxing Palace, and the situation in the northwest will never be so corrupted." Wen Cangyuan said as he moved a black chess piece.
One grid.
"It makes sense, but when Yu Xing moved north, the internal conflicts had intensified, and Gu Zizang himself was in trouble, and he couldn't suppress these conflicts at all. Playing chess here is also a helpless move." Cao Zhuying said as he spoke.
, and moved the chess piece back as if nothing had happened.
"Alas!" Wen Cangyuan looked at the piece of Go with a sad look on his face. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Why hasn't Wen Heng come back yet? Come on, let's go and see what's going on."
"In my opinion, there is no need. The ground in the southwest is pretty peaceful, and there is nothing that can threaten the Cha family. Besides, Xiao Heng is also a master, so he can handle this kind of situation." Cao Zhuying sat as calm as a mountain, "In the past, Jin Fei was attacked by Qing Qing.
The talisman attacks, Grandmaster Xie Zhi'an plays chess, and the opponent is wiped out in a snap. We should also learn from the calm and calmness of the sages."
Wen Cangyuan said: "This is a big fallacy. After Xie Zhi'an heard the news of the victory, he ran away with his shoes. He pretended to be calm while his heart was in torment. It would be better to come there in person. Even if the situation is not as expected, it is worse than being anxious and uneasy. Strong. I think we are still..."
"I'm back." A clean male voice suddenly came from outside the door, and then Wen Heng, with a smile on his face, opened the door and came in.
Wen Cangyuan glared at his son fiercely, sat down helplessly again, looked at the chessboard and asked slowly and resentfully: "What's going on? Who is this blind person who is causing trouble?"
Wen Heng turned a blind eye to his father's expression and tone, and replied with a serious face: "It's Zai Xiya from Qiu Qiang."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Wen Cangyuan turned his head and looked at Wen Heng.
"It's a strange thing to say. I don't know who this Zai Xiya was deceived. He bought our Cha family for 12 million gold coins, the house deed, the land purchase contract, all the formalities, and he also brought
A construction team came to demolish the Zha family's gate, saying that they wanted to build a grand and majestic gate to attract more disciples and revive the Qiu Qiang."
Wen and Cao were relatively stunned, and then Wen Cangyuan burst into laughter and said: "It turns out that overseas cultivators have this brain, so the situation in the northwest may not be like this. At least for this chess piece, I guess those people can't play it.
Come out." As he said this, he took away one of the tendons of the white chess piece.
"Senior brother, what you said is wrong. Qiu Qiang has always produced reckless men. It is not surprising that Zai Xiya was deceived. However, there are also many schools overseas that are famous for their wisdom, such as Xue Cang, Huajian, Beast Witch, and Jin Fei. As long as there are these schools
Leader, it's not surprising that he made this move." Cao Zhuying said slowly and quietly filled the position with chess pieces.
"With such a reckless man interfering with the situation, White's chess must be alienated, and this move will definitely be impossible to achieve." After Wen Cangyuan said this, he removed one of the tendons of White's chess.
"Overseas factions have unknown means to enter the northwest. Who knows what their number and configuration are, and they may be able to increase their troops in the future, so I think this move is completely possible." Cao Zhuying said, and then
Repair that chess rib.
The two of them kept taking chess pieces from the chessboard to make up for the chess pieces. They were still playing chess. They were clearly comparing their skills in cheating. Fortunately, Wen Heng was used to this kind of scene, so he didn't feel it was out of the ordinary. He stood beside him with a smile.
Watch the battle.
"So what if we increase the number of troops? These factions have been spending thousands of years overseas. They are all as useless as dried salted fish. Look at Zai Xiya, who came ashore alone. He has to take care of everything by himself. What's the matter?
I was deceived into looking like that. I look at this chess piece and it’s clearly not tenable.”
"Xiao Heng, tell me what Zai Xiya's fighting strength is like?" Cao Zhuying turned his attention to Wen Heng.
Wen Heng was very cooperative and said: "It's extremely strong. It stabilizes the pressure of Wu Guoting. It wasn't until You Jingwei and I took action at the same time that we barely blocked it."
"Look, this Zai Xiya is so powerful in combat, how can he dare to say that overseas cultivators are unprepared? So this chess move is completely feasible."
After a brain-racking contest, the situation on the board remained the same, with White having the advantage.
Wen Cangyuan looked at the chessboard and said: "It seems that we are really going to lose today's game."
Cao Zhuying remained unmoved, slowly heating the tea with his artistic conception, and said: "Senior brother is too humble. I have played three hundred and four games with him in these years. Every time he encounters a big disadvantage, he will turn the world around and draw every time. The official
The title of Master Zi belongs to none other than Senior Brother."
Wen Cangyuan ignored his sarcasm and stared at the chessboard, his eyes wide and distracted. It seemed that he was ready to procrastinate forever.
"Master, Miss Ruyi is back." The voice of the old servant Uncle Yu came from outside the door.
Wen Cangyuan was overjoyed, stood up quickly, and walked quickly out the door. As he walked, he said: "My precious granddaughter is back." But he didn't know whether it was because he really wanted to, or because of this precious grandson.
His daughter created an opportunity for him to cheat.
Wen Heng and Cao Zhuying looked at the old man's cunning back and shook their heads helplessly.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ruyi walking towards this side.
Ruyi is as pure and beautiful as she was two years ago, but her long-term injuries have reduced her body a lot. Walking on the bluestone path, she is like a weak willow supporting the wind. Wen Cangyuan seemed to be afraid that she would be blown away by the wind, and hurriedly
Welcoming him
Ruyi saluted Wen Cangyuan and said, "Grandpa, Happy New Year!" Although she was smiling, there was still sadness between her eyebrows. Her voice was a little softer than three years ago, but her tone seemed to have a foundation.
I could clearly hear the clarity and firmness of her thoughts.
"Okay, okay!" Wen Cangyuan smiled with a smile on his face, took out a red envelope and stuffed it into her hand, "I prepared it a few days ago, who knew you would just come back today. Why are you wearing so little? Your body is just right, and I don't know how to wear more.
.”
Ruyi smiled slightly and said: "Grandpa, I have something to tell you."
"Let's talk after we go in, let's talk after we go in, you can't get wind from your body." After Wen Cangyuan said that, he quickly pulled Ruyi back to the living room. As soon as he returned to the living room, he saw Cao Zhuying staring at him, and then he remembered that there was still an unfinished game here.
After playing the chess game, he quickly pulled Ruyi towards the Jing Room, "Ruyi, your uncle has guests, let's go to the Jing Room to talk."
Of course Ruyi was not happy, so she just passed by and wished Cao Zhuying and Wen Hengxing happy birthday. The two happily agreed and took out a red envelope and handed it to her.
Cao Zhuying said: "Girl Ruyi, I haven't seen you for a while. The weather looks much better than before."
After hearing Cao Zhuying's words, Wen Cangyuan felt happy and ordered the maid next to him: "Go and bring the young lady's purple ginseng tea to the Jing Room."
"What kind of room are you looking for? Just send it to the living room. I also want to talk to Ruyi girl." Cao Zhuying interrupted.
Wen Heng also smiled and helped: "Yes, Dad, you can't hide Ruyi's baby. We all want to take a good look at Ruyi." After saying this, he asked Ruyi to sit down on the soft chair and handed her a
The small heater said, "You haven't recovered yet, so don't catch a cold."
Wen Cangyuan said: "What are you messing around with? Ruyi came to me because he has something serious to say."
"What kind of business is this? Why do you have to avoid me and Xiao Heng?" Cao Zhuying was determined that Wen Cangyuan was going to run away, and even to death, she didn't believe the reason he came up with, especially seeing that Ruyi didn't refuse to sit down, and was very interested in Wen Cangyuan's words.
I don’t even believe the statement.
Wen Heng looked at Ruyi tenderly and said, "Ruyi, what's going on? Can you tell your uncle and Grandpa Cao?"
Ruyi nodded tenderly and whispered softly: "I heard a bad rumor outside, saying that Master Yousan and I..." She stopped mid-sentence, biting her lip.
The three of them were stunned for a moment. Wen Heng glanced at Wen Cangyuan and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he comforted him: "Ruyi, those are just rumors from outsiders. Don't pay attention to them. You are not well yet.
Do not think too much."
"Grandpa, are these rumors arranged by you?" Ruyi looked at Wen Cangyuan quietly.
Wen Heng and Cao Zhuying also looked at Wen Cangyuan.
Wen Cangyuan felt guilty and denied: "How could it be? Darling, don't think too much, it's nothing."
"I'm afraid that he will think too much." Ruyi said softly, "I haven't seen him in three years, and I don't know where he is. If he hears the news, I don't know what he will think."
The living room was a little quiet. Wen Cangyuan smiled dryly and said, "He's just a young boy. No matter what he thinks, we are just as happy as we want..."
"Grandpa," Ruyi interrupted Wen Cangyuan's words, the sadness between her eyebrows became more intense, and she looked at Wen Cangyuan quietly, tears filling her eyes, "Grandpa, can you help Ruyi?"
"Okay, okay, of course grandpa will help you. Baby, don't cry, don't cry." Wen Cangyuan was a little confused.
"Thank you, grandpa." Ruyi said softly.
The grandfather and grandson talked again in the living room, Ruyi spoke softly, and Wen Cangyuan also became softer and more careful when speaking.
Cao Zhuying looked at Wen Cangyuan's appearance and snickered in her heart. This senior brother was born to be unreasonable. How could he ever be so cautious?
The four of them chatted, and Ruyi was led to the back by her aunt.
Wen Cangyuan sat sulking for a while, and said angrily: "Although it is not appropriate to talk about the rights and wrongs of the dead, the way Tai Yin handled this matter is really damn unreliable! What is the identity of my family Ruyi, and how come everyone is so stupid?
Dare you make a random match?" His innocent precious grandson got involved in a love affair for no apparent reason, and the man's status as a liar among the exorcists sounded shabby. How could he possibly be worthy of his precious granddaughter?
Wen Hengdao: "I heard that the child has good character, is studious, resourceful and courageous, and seems to have some connection with our Cha family. Tai Yin likes this junior so much, so he must have some merits."
Wen Cangyuan glared at his son angrily, "Why don't you say that his deception is amazing and he has killed countless corpses?"
Back then, when his daughter Wen Rong and Heng Jue fell in love, Wen Cangyuan was not merciless in beating the couple. However, seeing Ruyi's frail appearance after illness, as if he would be broken if he spoke even the slightest words, Wen Cangyuan was really at a loss. Released by Youjia
The news of the marriage was due to his tacit approval, mainly to force the boy not to show up. I originally expected that if the two of them were separated for a long time, Ruyi would slowly give up, and let it go. But looking at Ruyi's expression, it was clear that
It's a deep-seated love. It's probably very difficult to erase her feelings. Even if it can be erased in the end, this precious granddaughter will have to suffer a lot.
Wen Cangyuan thought about it over and over, but still felt distressed and depressed. He took a sip of tea and said: "That Heng Jue was not reliable back then. This Wuma Xi is not as good as Heng Jue... Sigh.
!”
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." Cao Zhuying glanced at the chessboard with a calm expression, "Senior brother, please!"
"In the first game of the new year, if the game looks like this, what else can be done?" Wen Cangyuan casually smashed the chessboard into pieces.
Cao Zhuying glanced at him in annoyance, lowered her eyes helplessly, and drank tea slowly to calm down her emotions.dd
