Chapter 2193: Holding the Wind and Frost of Thousand Miles in Vastness

There has never been an organization in the world that can blossom all over the world like today's Sanfenxianglou.

Dou Zhao said that they are "Flying Fairy Luo", which is indeed true.

This is especially true after brazenly breaking away from Chu and actively cutting off the "roots" that the world thinks.

Jiang Wang has been to Sanfenxianglou in Fenglin City in Zhuang State, Sanfenxianglou in Tianfu City and Linzi in Qi State, Sanfenxianglou in Yingcheng in Chu State, and Sanfenxianglou in many places.

Of course, none of them is like the old days.

After leaving Zhuang State, he did not covet enjoyment and always practiced cultivation.

The reason why he was dragged there by his friends was perhaps because of subconscious familiarity, familiar with the traces of living in Fenglin City, and not so resistant.

Or maybe there is indeed some cause and effect in the dark?

Jiang Wang never thought about it.

He never thought about such a question.

Just like he did not expect to hear this name from Ye Lan'er one day.

"What do you mean?" He looked at Ye Lan'er and asked.

The relationship between Miaoyu and Sanfenxiang Tower is that she once hid in the branch building of Zhuangguo for a period of time?

At that time, Miaoyu was a demon girl of Baigu Dao, and was the "Daoguo" prepared by Baigu Zunshen for her incarnation.

Later, Yuzhen was a nun of Xiyue Temple, hiding in the depths of the bamboo forest, with green lamps and ancient scrolls.

Sanfenxiang Tower is just a cover, just a woman named "Bai Lian" in Fenglin City.

Why did Ye Lan'er mention it?

Why did he suddenly mention Miaoyu's name after the heavy casualties in Sanfenxiang Tower?

Ye Lan'er looked back at Jiang Wang's eyes with her flawless beautiful eyes: "You are nervous."

"Do you know why I always keep a distance from you?" Jiang Wang asked.

Ye Lan thought for a moment: "It seems so. It has been like this since that time in Chu. You always keep your distance from me. So why?"

The corners of her mouth showed a perfect arc, revealing a really charming and perfect smile: "Because I am not beautiful enough, just the top five you have ever seen in your life? After so many years, I still feel uneasy. Who is the best you have 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, which has almost become an instinct.

Including her hurt, weakness, and pity at this moment.

But there is a little smile in her eyes: "I understand, distance creates beauty. But I am too close to you."

"Don't beat around the bush." ​​Jiang Wang took a breath gently and used this action to calm his emotions: "What exactly did you mean by that question just now?"

He thought of a lot at this moment.

For example, when they first met, Ye Lan'er was overly curious.

For example, why did Ye Lan'er help him solve the problem of Yang Chongzu, the clone of Zhang Linchuan?

Although he later repaid the debt by guaranteeing that Sanfenxiang Tower would not be suppressed by official forces in Linzi. But if Sanfenxiang Tower wants to develop in Qi State, as long as it is willing to spend, there are many choices, not necessarily him. Even Liu Xiuzhang and Jiang Wuyou's line, they are also connected.

He and Ye Lan'er, there is no such friendship at all. What reason does Ye Lan'er have to help him silently, even faster than the action of the Huaiguo Mansion?

Ye Lan'er opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly smiled and swallowed back those words that were difficult to hold back: "I just suddenly want to ask you a question-if that 'Miaoyu' is still in Sanfenxiang Tower, would you still say so? What does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Wang had no expression: "Boring question."

"You dare not answer?" Ye Lan'er asked.

Jiang Wang looked at her calmly: "Sanfenxiangqilou is not unarmed, nor is it innocent. Everyone has to bear the consequences of their choices. Do you sympathize with those people in Nandou Hall? No matter who is in Sanfenxiangqilou, your fate has nothing to do with me. Are you satisfied with my answer?"

"If it was Miaoyu who flew past you instead of Farrow. Would you save her?" Ye Laner asked.

Without waiting for Jiang Wang to speak, she said: "You can choose not to answer, but please don't lie to me. Considering that I was at least useful in Zhang Linchuan's death."

This time, Ye Laner's face finally did not have that paradigmatic expression. She looked at him with a rare seriousness.

Jiang Wang was silent for a while, and finally said: "I don't know."

"If I don't know, I will." Ye Laner said.

Jiang Wang did not speak.

Ye Laner said, "If you don't say anything, it means you agree."

"Okay!" Ye Laner said again, "If you agree, that's enough. You are the promising Jiang Gelao, the world-famous first prodigy of the human race. What does that unhappy life have to do with you? I was presumptuous to stop him today. But I still want to say one more thing. Jiang Gelao, although you have the life of a real person, it is not so easy to meet those who really treat you well - we don't need to meet again!"

"Wait, explain it clearly." Jiang Wang stretched out his hand to stop him: "What is the relationship between Miaoyu and you?"

"No relationship. I just heard her story." Ye Laner smiled with the right arc again: "I am just a woman who has lost too much and is very stingy. I can't bear to see you calm down -"

After saying this, she was like a piece of autumn catkins, scattered in the wind.

In the end, Jiang Wang was left with an empty fist, with only the autumn wind in his hand.

He stood alone in the desolate autumn field.

This is the sinking river valley, the ruins of the countries in the river valley.

This is the sinking human heart, the human heart is a wilderness.

…

…

The autumn wind blowing through the wilderness also lingers in the deep mountains.

The Yinxiang Peak in the territory of Yue State has been silent for many years.

In late autumn, no one sweeps the courtyard, and yellow leaves rise and fall all over the ground.

Wen Jingxiu, the king of Yue State, walked among the fallen leaves in his ordinary clothes and pushed open the door with heavy copper rust.

He had never been here before, but he was familiar with everything here.

The king of Yue State should not meet the retired prime minister. Gao Zheng's political program should not be inherited. And he, Wen Jingxiu, never did things he shouldn't do.

Beside the crouching tiger, he dared not toss and turn easily. How could he fall asleep in the long night? He had to think carefully about every breath.

As a qualified king, he was conscientious in his 37 years of reign, cultivating civil governance both internally and externally... Proper diplomacy, but not too close.

It's not that he can't use martial arts. Where can he use martial arts?

He is a king who would rather do nothing and try not to make mistakes.

But is it enough to not make mistakes?

Gao Zheng has retired for so many years, and when has he ever made a mistake?

When he was at the peak of his career, he retired.

Even the successor of his political platform was deposed, and the political platform of the first half of his life was completely turned over to pave the way for the later generations. As an official cultivator, he returned his great power to the official road, retired to the old peak, and rebuilt himself.

He was able to keep silent in the mountains despite the expectations of the world. He had the talent to save the world, but he could imprison himself in a cage.

With the support of Nandou Hall and Mugu Academy, and the attention of Shushan, he still spoke and acted prudently, and even did not speak or act. He was cautious enough and tolerant enough!

How much more should he do in this aspect?

Yinxiang Peak was closed for many years, and it was only opened for a child named Ge Fei.

A famous prime minister who lived in the mountains wanted to take in an apprentice to inherit his mantle. This feeling should be understood. For this matter, he even informed the State of Chu.

But so what?

There is only autumn wind on the Qiantang River!

Wen Jingxiu always remembered Gao Zheng's words. Nandou Hall supported it, Mugu Academy supported it, and Shushan also selectively supported it, but Nandou Hall, Mugu Academy, and Shushan were not the State of Yue——

"Don't take the branches and trees as your own roots."

Those forces that actively supported the back of the State of Yue just needed a country to stand there and balance the State of Chu.

That country didn't have to be the State of Yue.

It could be Song, it could be Wei, it could be those countries that had been destroyed by the State of Chu.

So where is the way for the State of Yue?

Wen Jingxiu saw Ge Fei again.

This was the first time he saw Ge Fei after Wu Ling's death. His country's pride, his trusted talent, his "beloved minister". At this time, he was still chained under the tall tree like a dog.

His hair was disheveled, his face was covered with dirt, and he smiled foolishly.

Wen Jingxiu didn't look at him a second time.

There was a big broom on the left side of the courtyard wall.

Wen Jingxiu walked over, held the broom with his hand that held the power of the world and his hand that lived a life of luxury, and began to clean seriously.

In fact, Ge Fei was not Gao Zheng's only student.

He, Wen Jingxiu, often learned Taoism from chess.

A game of chess in a box, a century of teacher-student relationship.

This matter was unknown to others. In all these years, it was also the first time for him to perform the disciple's etiquette and sweep the courtyard for his teacher.

Master Gao often said that for any matter, don't look at the appearance, but look beyond the superficial light and shadow and get to the essence of things. So you have to clean frequently.

Clean the courtyard, clean the ignorance, clean the dust in people's hearts and the shadows in people's eyes.

Just like no matter how Master Gao hides his light and bides his time, no matter how cautious he is, as long as he is still in Yue, Chu will not be able to trust him. And if he wants to leave Yue? Chu will not allow such a person to leave unless his final destination is Yingcheng.

This is the fundamental reason why Gao Zheng is trapped in Yinxiang Peak. No matter how he is wronged, he can't be "complete".

If there is no reason, make a reason, if there is no excuse, make an excuse. Gao Zheng is imprisoned on the lonely peak, motionless and silent, so that Chu can't make an excuse, and it is inconvenient to take action on the official surface. Let other forces and other people make this excuse.

What kind of deal did the King of Chu and Luosha Mingyuejing reach, Wen Jingxiu didn't know.

But for this day on the bank of Qiantang River...both Gao Zheng and him had foreseen it.

It's just that before the blade was at the neck, they didn't know who was holding the knife.

Who dares to ignore the hegemony of the world?

They have always known the power of Chu.

How can you not have the determination to feed the tiger if you dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers?

This academy where Gao Zheng studied behind closed doors had no name, not even a plaque on the door.

Yinxiang Peak had no name originally, it was just a remote mountain, and even the Feng Shui was not special.

Even two years ago, in order to clear the rumor that "Gao Zheng secretly sat on Yinxiang Peak and remotely controlled the situation in Yue State", the Yue court specially named this mountain "Yunlai Peak", erected a monument at the foot of the mountain, and recorded the words in the county annals. They tried their best to downplay Gao Zheng's influence.

But in the end, what was remembered was still "Yinxiang Peak".

So you see, what is the human heart?

Gao Zheng hid in the mountains, but sat in the hearts of the people of Yue.

He was the only person in the history of Yue State who got an advantage in front of Chu State. He was a man of many talents and cleverly took on the situation in those days. People believed that he would bring unprecedented hope to this country.

Although Wen Jingxiu had never done any work such as sweeping and cleaning, he was a real person in the world after all. Broom by broom, he still swept the small courtyard very clean.

During this process, Ge Fei, who had already gone mad, was surprisingly quiet. He just tilted his head, drooled, and stared at him blankly. Perhaps this body, which was completely isolated from thoughts, was also familiar with this scene?

Wen Jingxiu put down the broom, walked around the tall tree, and walked around this person, but after thinking about it, he walked back. He wiped Ge Fei's saliva with his sleeve, wiped it twice, and simply scooped up some water to help him wash his face.

Then he straightened the young man, used magic to help him clean his dust, straightened his clothes, combed his hair, and let him sit under the tree.

In this way, this Yue Guo Tianjiao with a strange face had a bit of the attitude of a celebrity who was not particular about details and rested by a tree.

Of course, Wen Jingxiu had never helped anyone dress up, but according to his experience of being served on weekdays, he did it in a decent manner. During the whole process, Ge Fei could not be said to cooperate, but he did not resist either.

After walking by Ge Fei again, Wen Jingxiu's mood, which was as deep as the sea, suddenly calmed down a little.

The storm was coming. Even though he had been teaching himself to endure and face the thunder for half his life, he couldn't help but sigh at the leaking roof.

He pushed open the inconspicuous little door and came to the back mountain.

High cliffs, green moss, clouds and mist, smooth white stone chessboard, these are all.

The old man who always sat alone in the back mountain is gone.

But the chess pieces are still there, and the game is not over yet.

On the 19 vertical and horizontal lines, black and white chess pieces are intertwined, and the big dragon is entangled in one place, folding vertically and horizontally, which is extremely dangerous.

Wen Jingxiu walked forward silently and sat down in the place where Gao Zheng usually sat in previous years. He began to think for a long time.

The stone chess bench opposite Gao Zheng has been vacant for many years, and no one has ever sat on it. As far as Wen Jingxiu knows, only 'Ge Fei', who had just returned from the mountain and sea realm, has sat on it ignorantly.

Since Gao Zheng began to teach him, he has never been rude again.

For so many years, who was Gao Zheng playing against, and who was his opponent?

Time flies, maybe everything will have an answer.

Dusk, sunset, night, dawn, and dusk again.

Wen Jingxiu thought quietly for a day and a night, and finally stretched out his hand for the first time. His fingers were long, with clear joints and very organized, which was very suitable for playing chess.

This hand was empty, with only frost.

He did not take the pieces from the chess basket, because he knew that he did not have the ability to control this game.

His eyes wandered over the 19 vertical and horizontal lines, and his index finger moved with it, and finally stopped at the key point of the chess game. The blank point, at this moment, slowly condensed into a chess piece from virtual to real.

This is such a key chess piece!

It doesn't seem so at first glance. But after it solidifies into a specific chess piece and falls down, you will find that if it is black, the black dragon swallows the sun, and if it is white, the whole board is full of daylight.

This key chess piece is constantly changing, changing from real to fake, from black to white.

The situation of the whole chess game is constantly changing.

Victory or defeat is just a thought away, and life or death is just a matter of seconds.

Sweat broke out on Wen Jingxiu's forehead, as if he was really facing a life-and-death situation, and his life was hanging by a thread. The chess game of the world was held by his thin index finger.

But he grinned and smiled hard.

"Master Gao, you said that as long as you are alive, the State of Chu will never let down its guard."

"You said you don't want to die either, you said you will try to survive, but you may not be able to escape in the end."

"You said you have been playing a game of chess all your life, but you have never had the chance to verify your calculation ability."

"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 fell down and pressed down the key chess piece that was constantly changing. So that its black and white, real and fake, could not be seen.

Another drop of water fell and hit the back of his finger.

The handsome Dai Viet leader Wen Jingxiu spoke slowly, as if announcing an order: "This game of chess has only just begun."
