"I haven't seen much yet."

The old lady sent the chess manual, and she has only turned over the two books on her face. How can it be so fast to study it?

Lu Jinxi smiled slightly and said, "My daughter-in-law played chess with the eldest son a while ago, and he gave me two pointers, so you think my chess skills have improved. I don’t know why, it’s just hard learning.”

"..."

The old lady reached out to the chess box to grab the chess piece, and suddenly paused, the expression on her face changed a little, but her eyes involuntarily fell on the chessboard, staring at the stopped fighting in the southeast corner.

So vaguely remembered...

It was Gu Juefei's.

At that time he was still young, but he was obsessed with playing chess. When I come back every day, I will definitely see him waiting in the study, laying out the chessboard, waiting for me.

He won the first game against him, and this was the hand he used.

He established a chance to win in the most crucial corner, and then expanded that slight advantage like a snowball. The layout was meticulous and rigorous, and he kept hitting his opponent to the end.

He was eleven years old at the time.

Gu Chengqian has never seen such a smart person, his ability to calculate and the overall situation are impeccable, and his usual modest temperament will show another kind of killing and ferocity when it comes to the chessboard.

When he was young, he didn't know how to hide his emotions.

When he finally found out that he had won three and a half eyes from his father, he was very happy, just like when he played "The Rest of Guangling" for the first time, he was overjoyed that he had defeated his father, who had been regarded as a god since he was a child. mad.

But Gu Chengqian saw a brilliant phantom from him.

Such a person is destined to be extraordinary.

In the days that followed, Gu Juefei was addicted to the feeling of victory, and kept looking for him to play games. At first, he only won occasionally, and then he won a big victory.

But at this time, he already had a very subtle perception of human emotions.

Gradually, he stopped playing chess with his father, and turned to talking about poetry and other important things in the world, and he no longer showed excessive joy in any new achievements he had achieved.

He is growing rapidly.

With a speed that mortals can't reach, and a speed that makes him, the minister of the father, unmatched.

So he didn't know when it started, and he felt that he gradually became ignorant of this son. All disputes and ruptures started with Xue Kuang...

"Master Taishi?"

A slightly concerned and worried voice sounded from the opposite side.

Gu Chengqian came back to his senses, sighed and smiled, and said, "When I get old, I always start to think about the past."

Lu Jinxi didn't dare to accept this.

The aging of people is the proof of the ruthlessness of the years, and it is something everyone will face and face, but it is always too cruel to mention these in front of the elderly.

She listened to the voices outside, and only changed the subject quietly: "It's so noisy outside, I don't know what happened."

Having said that, really think about this stubble.

Lu Jinxi dropped a piece on the chessboard, then turned around and shouted to the wind chimes standing at the door, "Go and ask and see what's going on."

"Yes."

The wind chimes are also strange, and they will go out the door in response to the sound.

It's just that before she could get out of the eaves, a figure with a terrified face appeared in the front corridor. It was Wan Baochang who just came back from the outside.

There was a secret cold sweat on his forehead, because of excessive shock and fear, his wrinkled face had an abnormal flushing, and his eyes were even more flickering.

As soon as the person walked past the wind chimes, he entered the house.

"My lord, my lord, something big has happened—"

But the voice was only halfway down, the throat was inexplicably blocked, and suddenly there was no sound.

He was holding the letter he had just received from outside, and his elderly hands were shaking. At this time, he felt that he really didn't want to tell Gu Chengqian the news.

Wan Bao has been by Gu Chengqian's side for too long, and he is clear about the contradiction between him and Gu Juefei.

For the eldest son, this may be a piece of good news that can make his grievances washed away; but for the old lady, it is undoubtedly a blow to his past judgments.

even……

The involvement may be wider and wider, even more unbearable for the old lady and the master!

Wan Baochang regretted it immediately. Standing in this room, he suddenly wanted to leave and start over. He just pretended that nothing happened, and kept all the bad things that happened, so that the old lady wouldn't know.

But it's too late.

Gu Chengqian raised his head and looked over, the moment he saw his expression, he was already shocked.

If there is, don't say it explicitly.

What's more, as early as the day Xue Kuang came back, he already had vague expectations?

Holding the warm white jade chess piece in his hand, it suddenly became extremely cold.

The change in the atmosphere was so violent that one shuddered.

As early as the moment Wan Baochang's voice sounded, Lu Jinxi had an ominous premonition in her heart, and she could also see Wan Baochang's struggle and hesitation.

He didn't speak at the moment, just pushed the chess box and stood up.

Wan Bao often looked at her.

But she only frowned, took the roll of paper full of words that he was holding in her hand, unfolded it and took a look—

"Fight against the party!"

The four big characters pierced into the eyes in an instant!

Lu Jinxi only felt that the tips of her fingers were hurting when she was holding the letter, as if she was not holding a page at all, but a sharp blade!

Looking back, it is full of spicy and thrilling!

There are three reasons for retribution:

First, the Son of Heaven is incompetent and incompetent;

Second, the traitor is in power, slandering the loyal;

Third, the throne is not right, it is conspiracy to kill the father and kill the emperor, and the person who inherits the throne is indeed the seventh prince of the previous emperor - Xiao Tingzhi!

Chapter 198

Lu Jinxi felt the chill rising from his limbs almost when he read the first one!

Originally, the anti-thief scolds the incompetence of those in power, which is common in almost all the letters.

Whether it's true or not, press it first.

She thought the same was true of this letter.

Unexpectedly, just in this first seemingly ordinary reason, Xue Kuang revealed a shocking murder!

The letter said:

The pseudo-emperor Xiao Che, whose position was not upright, was mediocre and incompetent since he took the throne. In the early years of his political career, he mismanaged the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the drought in Hunan. In addition, because of the border wars during the previous emperor's time, he was afraid of Xue's generals, and he secretly suppressed him at the beginning of his succession. He dispatched his confidant overseer, causing his father Xue Yuan, his second uncle Xue Huan, and his eldest brother Xue Leng to die on the battlefield, and the loyal soul was wronged!

Then there was Xue Kuang himself.

After the border victory, Gu Juefei, who had been reading for Xiao Che, slandered, claiming that Xue Kuang's self-respect was suspected of conspiracy, but the evidence was insufficient. Trapped Xue Kuang to death!

Such an emperor is so stupid and stupid, it is a disaster for the society, and it is unbearable to be an emperor!

Lu Jinxi felt a little dizzy in front of his eyes. After reading the first article, he immediately remembered the Sun family, the He family, and even the eldest princess Yongning, whom he had come into contact with when he was still in the General's Mansion!

These women are widows.

At that time, she only felt that the Xue family was loyal and fierce, which was really embarrassing, but she did not think deeply about whether there were other hidden secrets.

However, as soon as this letter came out, it seemed to answer her original doubts: that is, why did Xue Kuang have to rebel?

Years of planning, by no means an idea that came up overnight.

If the Xiao royal family has been doing harm because of their fear of the Xue family, then everything seems to make sense.
