That Person In That River and Lake Chapter 244

  Chapter 244 An old Taoist came from outside the city

Repaying grievances with kindness has always been unpopular in the Xia Kingdom. No one here misinterprets the phrase "repaying virtue with kindness and repaying grievances with straightness". Chaotang, the people living in this land are used to simplicity and directness, if you hit me, I will fight back, or even worse, if you want to kill me, I will kill you.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Gu Qingci not to choose to compromise, and not to choose to compromise under the pressure of his own people. When Xia Guo made the final decision and even moved out Mr. Wuque, Yang Zhengming, Qi Hui and that faction may end here. Maybe, unless one day Emperor Xia wants to use them again.

Because Mr. Wu Que never interfered in the government affairs, the reason why Emperor Xia would consider Mr. Wu Que's thoughts was out of respect for Mr. Wu Que's prestige. Now that Emperor Xia asked Yang Zhengming to rest, maybe, he would really rest until die of old age.

At this time, the people in the court couldn't help looking at Gu Qingci. They found that Gu Qingci was really a bad spirit. As long as those who offended him, it seemed that regardless of their status, the results would not be very good. Ma Dongyang was in the front and Yang Zhengming was in the back. , Although Yang Zhengming's matter has nothing to do with Gu Qingci, the reason for correcting it is all because of him.

Xia Huang and Mr. Wu Que have the same thought, which is absolutely impossible for Yang Zhengming to turn over, but Gu Qingci is actually very helpless, he never thought about dealing with Yang Zhengming, it is normal to have endless disputes in the court, but, this Yang Zhengming was too unlucky to bump into Emperor Xia's muzzle.

  Of course, this also reveals the news that Emperor Xia may really have to make a big move. He wants to stabilize the court, and those senior officials with high positions may become his burden, so it is time to come down.

   It can only be said to be a coincidence, it happened that Gu Qingci just happened to meet.

   Gu Qingci seemed to be unable to feel the various gazes coming from all directions at all, squinting slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please behave according to the rules!"

   At this moment, there were hurried footsteps at the entrance of the main hall, Xiao Yi quickly ran to Emperor Xia from the outside, and whispered a few words.

  Emperor Xia slowly raised his head, looked at the courtiers, and said slowly: "As for the assassination of the son of Lantian County, I have made my own decision. Gu Qingci will stay here, and everyone else will retreat!"

   No one wanted to understand what happened, but they all left one after another. Only Gu Qingci still stood where he was.

Soon, everyone was gone, Emperor Xia walked down slowly, walked up to Gu Qingci, and said slowly: "The Grandmaster Guqiao of Linyuan Dongtian is here, and he is playing chess with Mr. Wuque, and I want to see you. Um, what do you think?"

"Grandmaster!" Gu Qingci was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized that Xiao Yuhe is one of the seven mysteries in the world, the heir of Linyuan Dongtian, and now he is about to fall in Xia Kingdom. It is no wonder that Linyuan Dongtian is not in a hurry. A grandmaster is enough Give Xia Guo court face.

  Of course, in addition to saving face, it is also an act of pressure. Gu Qingci was silent for a while, and asked: "I just want to ask, Your Majesty, your position."

  Xiahuang smiled slightly, patted Gu Qingci on the shoulder, and said: "Xiao Yuhe is the heir of Linyuan Dongtian, and also the Seven Mysteries of the World. It is very important to Linyuan Dongtian, but as for you..."

Emperor Xia pondered for a while, and said lightly: "If Daxia is compared to a sect, you are also my Daxia's seven mysteries in the world, but from the perspective of the country, Xiao Yuhe is the son-in-law, and you are my Daxia Your county son is a hero of my Great Xia."

   "My position, that is - let go and do it!"

Xia Huang's voice is very flat and not loud, but it seems to be falling on the ground. Every word falls on Gu Qingci's heart. Although he understands that Xia Huang values ​​his potential and is also some political language, he still has a touch of emotion in his heart. .

  Gu Qingci adjusted his clothes, solemnly cupped his hands and said: "I, Gu Qingci, will never regret being born as a Daxia person!"

In the imperial city, in the heart of a lake, there is a pavilion where two people are sitting, Mr. Wuque in a white robe, and the old bridge in a blue-gray Taoist robe. Both of them are full of white hair, sitting opposite each other. Wisps of sandalwood rose slowly, and there was a chessboard in front of him.

Once Guqiao changed from the previous appearance, he lowered his head in a serious manner, and said softly: "Fifty years ago, I had the honor to meet you once, and I was overwhelmed by your demeanor at that time. I never thought that after fifty years In 2010, the gentleman is even more elegant."

   Slowly picked up a white piece, Mr. Wu Que smiled slightly: "Old, we are all old, and now the world doesn't need our old bones. We are old, but the rivers and lakes are still disturbed, and the excitement is still the same."

Gu Qiao shook his head, and said helplessly: "Yes, this river and lake is still the river and lake of our time, but it is no longer our era. For the sake of the sect, I have to pull down my old bones to beg Sir you."

Mr. Wu Que fell down and looked up at the lake. The breeze gently swayed the ripples, circles and circles, but the moment Mr. Wu Que looked over, he froze, as if there were wrinkles on a calm face, he said slowly : "It's over, you guys are on fire this time, I'm very angry."

   "I know," Gu Qiao nodded and said, "That's why I had to go down the mountain myself."

Mr. Wu Que sighed, and said: "It's still the same sentence, this is not our world anymore, it's all young people's, what happens, it can't be up to me, as for giving you face, I don't care. "

   Speaking of this, Mr. Wu Que suddenly said: "Hey, I'm afraid this round will be a draw again, let's change another round."

   "Good!" Guqiao nodded.

  The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard slowly floated up, and were retracted in an orderly manner, and the chessboard was restored as new.

  In the pavilion in the center of the lake, two masters were talking about the game.

Gu Qingci saw the silhouette of the ancient bridge from a distance, with a handsome appearance, wearing a simple Taoist robe and a pair of cloth shoes, just like an old Taoist priest who is clean and repaired, confronting Mr. Wuque on the chessboard, both of them are confident Appearance, demeanor is elegant, temperament is dusty.

  Gu Qingci knew very well that these two old men were first-class masters in the world, not to mention that ordinary people, even high-ranking officials, had to be respectful in front of these two people.

  Thinking about it, there are no better people in the world than these two.

   Gu Qingci restrained his mind and approached respectfully. It happened that the battle between the two top masters in the world was in full swing, and they were concentrating on the match. No one paid attention to Gu Qingci.

  However, when Gu Qingci looked at the chessboard intently, an unspeakable emotion welled up in his heart, and he pursed his lips, not knowing how to describe his mood at this time, or he could only say that silence is better than sound.

He has dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although he is not very proficient in chess, he also knows that a real master should play chess with great depth, subtlety, condescension, surprise and ingenuity, or rigorous layout. , One step counts as ten steps, the murderous intent is complete.

  Especially when two masters are playing chess, they should be even more imposing.

But the chess skills of the two in front of them... are simply a mess. The move is brilliant!" "When the chess is difficult, it's small and pointed, and this move, sir, is like the finishing touch!" "Miao Miaomiao, this move is full of murderous intent, and one move is settled..."

   Gu Qingci looked at it for a while, his face twitching uncontrollably.

  It took quite a while before Mr. Wu Que sighed slowly, raised his hand and refused to make a move, and said, "I'm afraid it will be a draw again!"

  Gu Qingci's eyes widened, his face was bewildered, is there still a draw in this game?

However, Gu Qingci couldn't help but, the two had already accepted the chess pieces in a tacit understanding, and Mr. Wuque looked at him with a smile and asked: "Qingci, you have watched us play chess for so long, what do you think? "

   Gu Qingci couldn't help but twitch again, and said with a smirk: "The students watched the two play chess, refreshed, um, I have a lot of emotions, but it's hard to say, hard to say!"

Mr. Wu Que said indifferently: "It's no wonder, the two of us have never lost a game in our whole life playing chess. Today we are destined to be able to separate the winners and losers, but we are both invincible. Alas, what a pity, what a pity, It's a pity that you will meet a good talent, you will meet your opponent, but you don't have much time!”

   Guqiao also said seriously: "It's a pity, the old man has never played chess as happily as he is today in his whole life. It's rare, rare!"

  Looking at the two old men with infinite emotions, Gu Qingci felt a little panicked for a while.

  After a long while, the two great masters finally came out from the hard time to find a confidant, and they were filled with emotions when they met each other.

  Mr. Wu Que also noticed that Gu Qingci was still standing, pointed to the stone bench, and said, "Sit down!"

  Gu Qingci cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir."

  Mr. Wu Que waved his hand and said, "This Taoist priest, do you know him?"

  Gu Qingci stood up, bowed and said: "Junior Gu Qingci, I have met Senior Guqiao."

  Guqiao chuckled, and said, "You don't need to be too polite, why are young people nowadays so strict, they have no temperament, it's not fun."

  Gu Qingci smiled faintly, but did not speak.

   There was a sudden silence in the air. After a long while, Gu Qiao slowly squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Qingci, and said softly: "Why don't you talk anymore, shouldn't you ask me? If you don't ask me, what should I say?"

   Gu Qingci smiled and said: "Why do you ask this junior? Since the senior came to look for me, I will naturally talk if I have something to do, and I will leave if there is nothing to do."

Gu Qiao pursed his lips, and muttered: "It's not interesting, you are very bad boy, if you want me to speak up, then well, if that's the case, I'll cut to the chase, I want you to let Xiao Yuhe's dishonorable smell come to an end Boy!"

Gu Qingci already knew why the ancient bridge came here, so naturally he would not be surprised, and said lightly: "I'm afraid the younger generation will appease the senior's wishes, Xiao Yuhe sent someone to assassinate me before, and I am narrow-minded, and I can't do things like repaying grievances with virtue." come out!"

   "But, he didn't send someone to assassinate you!"

Without waiting for Gu Qingci to ask, Gu Qiao confided everything and said, "Actually, Xiao Yuhe didn't know anything about your assassination from the beginning to the end. Until the end, when your country Xia surrounded the embassy, ​​he Only then did I know about this matter.

But there is no way, and I don't know what evil that stinky boy did. He was so unrestrained at the beginning, but after meeting the princess of the royal family of Yan Kingdom, he seemed to have lost his soul, and desperately wanted to marry the princess. For that princess, I went to carry this matter alone, oh..."

Gu Qingci did not doubt the truth of Guqiao's words, there is no need to doubt, and there is no need to tell lies in Guqiao's identity. Moreover, Gu Qingci once had a relationship with Xiao Yuhe, and Xiao Yuhe's attitude of protecting his wife , it is normal to do this kind of thing.

However, Gu Qingci still shook his head and said: "Senior, even if he didn't do it, so what, he came out to bear it by himself, and his own choice, even if he kneels, he has to go through it, is it because he is doing it for others? If I take responsibility, do I have to choose to settle the matter and settle the matter? This is so unreasonable, my life, Gu Qingci, is not so cheap!"

"I know, I know." Gu Qiao said, "Of course I can't just let you down with just one sentence, not to mention that you don't agree, I'm also embarrassed, not to mention, Mr. Wu Que is still here, I can't beat him .”

Gu Qingci looked at Mr. Wu Que thoughtfully, and Mr. Wu Que smiled slightly, and came over via voice transmission, saying: "The ancient bridge is here, I'm afraid Xiao Yuhe is not so easy to kill, don't look at this old guy's indifferent appearance, but For the inheritance of Linyuandongtian, he might risk his life in this capital."

Gu Qingci frowned, and before he responded, Mr. Wuque continued: "Of course, don't worry, no matter what you do, I will support you. If this old guy dares to fight, I dare to fight him to death, not to mention that this is Chang'an City. , it's not Linyuan Dongtian's turn to come here to act presumptuously."

Gu Qingci muttered to himself for a while, and said: "Senior Guqiao, I, Gu Qingci, are not fighting for life, but for breath. Xiao Yuhe and I have no grievances, but I almost died. If you want me to do whatever you want Just let go, it's impossible."

Gu Qiao smiled lightly, and said: "I am not a person who can negotiate. Before I came, the royal family of Yan Kingdom and the bottom line of Linyuan Dongtian had told me, so I just said it directly, and I will go for you for a while." Go to the Gu God Sect, and declare to the whole world, whoever wants to attack your brother's Liuli Jinsi Gu, I will greet them one by one, so that your brother will not be disturbed by the Liuli Jinsi Gu, and you can walk the world with confidence .”

"In addition, Xiao Yuhe will be banned for five years and will not go out of Linyuan Dongtian. Also, I will open Linyuan Dongtian Sword Tomb in half a year. You can get a place to enter. This is the compensation condition of Linyuan Dongtian, and the royal family of Yan Kingdom The compensation condition is not to participate in the competition for the black domain for ten years, and at the same time, there is some basic money, and the leader of the three kingdoms will not participate in the competition."

Gu Qingci frowned, and said: "I have seen the sincerity of Linyuan Dongtian, but the court of Yan Kingdom is completely insincere, it's not that I am arrogant, why doesn't Xiao Yu come out, I am afraid that I am here, and there is no him in this black domain competition What happened to Yan Kingdom?"

  Guqiao touched his head with some headaches, and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

  Gu Qingci said lightly: "Meng Qi, she provoked this matter, and she should give me an explanation!"

  Guqiao nodded and said, "What do you want?"

   "In addition to the above conditions, one more thing is to demote Meng Qi to a commoner, and she will not be allowed to enter Hanjing, the capital of Yan State, for life, let alone go to Linyuan Cave Heaven!"

  Guqiao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!"

   It's 10,000, and it's even 10,000 for the exam, everyone should give me some support!
