Chapter 1339: 645 Collusion

Two nights passed in the blink of an eye in the busyness of the maids. Early in the morning, Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue, and Mrs. Fang finally set off on their return journey leisurely in a carriage.

Along the way, they stopped and walked, and when they saw a temple fair in a certain town, they went for a stroll, and when a teahouse was talking about how the emperor killed a thousand enemies with one enemy, they went to listen to it. The journey there is getting longer and longer.

Xiao Yi was in a good mood, thinking that when he left Luoyue City half a month ago, his stinky girl was still so wilted, like a withered flower, but now he can walk with himself at the temple fair in good spirits, occasionally riding Horses... is there anything more rewarding than this?

Four days later, they finally reached Luoyue City.

As soon as he returned to Bixiaotang, Xiao Yi asked Anwei to go to Qingyunwu, and he and Nangongyue went to listen to Yuge to settle Mr. Fang first.

After everyone sat down, a little maid came to report: "Old Master, Shiziye, Shizifei, Marquis Anyi came to greet the old man."

"Please come in, Mr. Hou." Mrs. Fang said with a smile.

Guan Yubai walked into the yard with a burst of eagle cries. Although Han Yu had been out for a few days, of course he recognized his master and circled happily above Guan Yubai and Xiao Si's heads. There was a bit of a coquettish feeling to that brisk tone.

Little Siban lowered his head, deliberately not looking at Han Yu.

This little guy is really spoiled, to follow other people's eagle away from home for so many days and not come back!

And that guy...

Xiao Si looked right ahead accurately and glared at Feng Xing who was hiding in the tree in front of him. His eyes seemed to be sarcastic.

Feng Xing shrugged cheekily, meaning, didn't I come back with a cold feather with no cold feathers missing?

Xiao Si didn't bother to pay attention to him, and looked away coldly.

Guan Yubai didn't care, looked up at Han Yu with a laugh, and let out a brisk laugh, like a mountain stream flowing, with a hint of helplessness and connivance in his voice, "You little guy finally knows he's back."

Hearing the son's hearty laughter, as if returning to the past, Xiao Si couldn't help but raised his head and looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

Xiao Si's smile only lasted for a moment, when he saw a gray eagle flying over from outside the yard with its wings spread, closely following behind the white eagle, spinning in mid-air. The gray eagle patted the white eagle's wings from time to time, as if to say, let's go play?

But this time, Han Yu didn't go with Xiao Hui, and circled Guan Yu Bai's head again, as if responding: I want to accompany the master.

Xiao Si's expression finally improved.

As soon as Guan Yubai raised his right arm, Han Yu rushed down briskly and stopped firmly on his arm. It has done this action countless times, and it has long learned to defuse the momentum at the moment of stopping, and at the same time control the strength of its claws so as not to hurt the master.

When the white eagle stopped, it suddenly became as quiet as a jumping rabbit. At first glance, it was docile and well-behaved, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the icy blue eagle's eyes revealed the sharpness that belonged to a bird of prey.

After Guan Yubai touched Bai Yu on its neck gently, he raised his arms and said, "Han Yu, let's play."

The eagle should be with the eagle and fight against the sky.

The two eagles, one gray and one white, went to play again, while Guan Yubai walked into the house and greeted Mrs. Fang with courtesy and thoughtfulness.

"Yubai, sit down." Mrs. Fang greeted Guan Yubai warmly and sat down.

After Guan Yu Bai thanked Mrs. Fang, he sat down beside him.

Grandpa Fang thought of something, and said with a smile: "Yubai, I got a Torreya chessboard in Heyu City this time. I heard that it was left by Qiao Yuanqing, the chess sage of the previous dynasty. How about you, Yubai, appreciate it for me?"

Guan Yubai smiled slightly, and was about to respond when Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Grandfather, what are you doing with Xiaobai so politely?"

"What Yi said is." Guan Yu echoed with a smile.

The maid quickly fetched the Torreya chessboard and two chess boxes that they had bought from the painting and calligraphy shop in Heyu City, and placed them on the round mahogany table. Clear, the surface of the chessboard is glowing with a bright color, just sitting there quietly, it exudes a quiet atmosphere, which can not help attracting everyone's attention.

Guan Yubai carefully observed the wood grain of the chessboard, smelled its fragrance, touched its hand, and took out a white stone from the chess box.

The falling sound was crisp and sweet, as if there was an echo echoing in my ears.

Guan Yu said with a smile: "It is indeed a chessboard, and the master of this chessboard is very skilled... If there is a chance, I would like to go to Yucheng to ask for advice."

Guan Yubai did not directly answer Mr. Fang's question, but the implication was that everyone understood that since the master of the chessboard is still in the world, then this chessboard will not be left by the previous dynasty.

It was a pity for Mrs. Fang to buy a counterfeit product, but this chessboard was really well done, and it was worth it.

Guan Yubai looked at the chessboard carefully. His compliments to the master were not polite words. It must be known that the torreya wood that makes the chessboard is squeamish. , the chessboard is easy to deform and crack, either the master is already some years old, or it should be a family background.

Seeing that the official Yubai praised the torreya wood chessboard, Mrs Fang stroked his beard and suggested, "Yubai, it's rare to see such a good chessboard, how about you accompany me in the next game?"

Guan Yubai responded with a smile, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Grandfather, are you not afraid of losing?"

Mrs. Fang gave Xiao Yi a funny look. He still lost to Xiao Fei all day long. If he couldn't think about it, he would have lived to this age in vain.

Seeing that the masters were going to play chess, the servant girl who was serving hurriedly took away the white stone that had just fallen on the chessboard in the official language, and lit incense.

Grandpa Fang took out a black piece from the chess box beside him and said, "My chess skills are not as good as you, so I will hold the black piece as a respect."

Heizi went first, and during the conversation, Mrs. Fang made a decisive move, taking one of the four corners first.

Guan Yubai followed Bai Zi, and the two sides occupied the four corners respectively.

Next, there was only a crisp sound of falling in the room, one after another, both of them were resolute and steady.

Mr. Fang's chess skills are not as good as Xiao Fei's, naturally he is far from the official language Bai, but his chess style is still solid and stable, playing steadily and steadily, taking opportunities to cut off and capture a few white stones from time to time...

Seeing that Mrs. Fang ate the third son of Guan Yu again in one go, Nangong Yue frowned and thought something was wrong.

Sure enough, in the next moment, Bai Zi of Guan Yu Bai took advantage of Hei Zi's omission, and broke in like a bamboo stick, breaking the situation on the chessboard again.

If this is a young man, he will inevitably be a little impatient at this time, but at the age of Mr. Fang, he has already passed the age of winning, and he still plays very calmly, but after all, the two are too far apart. The white child on the line is connected across the board...

Mrs. Fang was in trouble, and the son at hand couldn't fall for a long time...

At this moment, a maid came to report, and the eldest girl came.

I think it was because Xiao Fei heard the news that Mrs. Fang was back, and came here to say goodbye.

Seeing that Mr. Fang was focusing on the chessboard, Nangong Yue said, "Please come in."

Soon, Xiao Fei, who was wearing a lake-colored willow-patterned brocade brocade robe, came forward. Seeing that Guan Yubai was also here, he was stunned for a while, and stepped forward to greet everyone.

Xiao Fei's eyes naturally fell on the chessboard, her eyebrows raised, and she didn't even hear Nangong Yue tell her to sit down. She subconsciously murmured, "This is... a chess guide?"

Guide chess? ! Grandpa Fang was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the chessboard again, looking at the whole situation, it was another feeling.

Xiao Fei is right. In fact, in this chess game, the white piece has had several opportunities to block the black piece's way of life, but the white piece has let it go, and even guides the black piece to find a way to survive. Isn't this a guide chess?

This is really a talented person in the country, and the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!

Grandpa Fang looked at the chess game in front of him with emotion, and stroked his beard, but the corner of his eyes caught Xiao Fei's focused expression, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Grandpa Fang suddenly thought about it and asked, "Sister Fei, why don't you continue to play this game of chess for your grandfather?"

Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, but she still said honestly: "Grandfather, my chess skills are not as good as that of Lord Hou, I'm afraid I can't turn the tide."

Mrs. Fang had long been used to Xiao Fei's sincerity, let out a hearty laugh, then looked at Guan Yubai and said, "Yubai, how about letting my little girl take care of Baizi?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi yawned lazily, thinking: What about swapping pieces? Xiao Fei is still not going to be killed by Xiaobai!

If you lose chess, don't cry.

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Fei with a half-smile, but saw her staring at Guan Yubai, eager to try.

Of course Xiao Fei didn't care. She knew Guan Yubai's chess skills best, but if Heizi was in her hands, he would definitely lose, and if it was in Guan Yubai's hands...

Thinking about it, Xiao Fei's eyes were shining brightly, and she couldn't wait to see how Guan Yubai could turn things around.

Guan Yu smiled and nodded in response.

So, the maid removed Mrs Fang's wheelchair and brought a round stool over. After Xiao Fei sat down, the two exchanged pieces.

Xiao Fei holds Baizi, and official language Bai holds Heizi.

The chess has reached the middle board, and the densely packed pieces occupy half of the chessboard, which makes people look a little unsure of where to start, but Guan Yubai has a plan in his heart, picking up the black piece is a decisive move.

Following, Xiao Fei dropped Bai Zi without hesitation.

Xiao Fei's chess game has always been like this. He is resolute and resolute, and his moves are decisive and sharp. He smoothly moves the left side of the chess game with black pieces according to the original layout of Guan Yubai. Things are looking good...

Unfortunately, all of a sudden, a violent storm came.

Heizi suddenly pushed his force towards the center, pierced through the bottom in one fell swoop, and cut off the bottom of Bai, one move after another, one ring around another, hitting Baizi without the power to fight back, and making the disk continue to shrink...

At this point, the outcome on the chessboard is clear at a glance.

Xiao Fei stared at the chessboard without blinking. Although Bai Zi was not knocked down, any good chess player could see that Bai Zi had no place to win in this chess game. She pondered for a moment, then readily conceded defeat.

After putting down the chess pieces, Xiao Fei breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said solemnly, "Master Hou's chess skills are still so extraordinary, Xiao Fei admires it!" She deliberately bowed to express her respect for Guan Yubai , and also believes that there are no men and women on the chessboard, they are just chess players.

"Acceptance." Guan Yubai also bowed in return, with a light cloud and light wind.

Mrs. Fang was attentive from beginning to end. While watching chess, he was also thinking about how he would play and how he would deal with Guan Yubai's attack...

It was clear that Ming Zi had a good situation at the beginning, but no matter what he thought, he would lose faster than Xiao Fei...

Mr. Fang sighed and said: "No wonder the ancients said: 'The good chess seeks the situation, and the unskilled chess seeks the son'." Guan Yu Bai's chess skills are so good, it can be seen that he has a lot of wisdom, and he has the ability to see the overall situation and see the details!

The official language said with a smile: "Mr. Fang has won the prize."

"Xiao Bai, why are you so humble? When you are young, you should be proud of your talents." Xiao Yi put one hand on Guan Yubai's shoulder and said casually, which suddenly made the originally too serious atmosphere lighthearted. few.

When Mrs. Fang turned around and saw Xiao Fei immersed in the game of chess again, he was afraid that she would be too troublesome because of her young age, so he said, "Sister Fei, come with me, my grandfather bought a few more seal stones in Heyu City this time. , you help grandfather palms and eyes?"

Xiao Fei really came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed.

"Grandfather, whoever sees you has a share, remember to pick one with me." Xiao Yi said with a sullen face, and while speaking, he got up to see each other, and Nangong Yue and Guan Yubai also stood up.

"Okay." Mrs. Fang replied with a smile, his eyes swept over the three of them, and finally paused for a moment on Guan Yubai, who was on Xiao Yi's left hand. It's the same as when I first saw Guan Yubai.

Guan Yubai and grandson Xiao Yi, the two young people, one is gentle and elegant, the other is reckless.

If the old man Fang just "heard" that his grandson and Guan Yubai were close friends in the past, at this moment, he felt this deeply.

It is really lucky to have such a friend!

Grandpa Fang's gaze stopped for a moment on Guan Yubai's face, he smiled slightly, and the maid pushed his wheelchair away.

Guan Yu smiled but did not speak, he was as smart and astute, how could he not know what Mr. Fang was thinking. He knew best in his heart, but it was also his luck to meet A Yi...

After Mrs Fang's back disappeared, Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue and Guan Yubai sat down again.

Following that, Xiao Yi spoke in an obscure tone about the An family and Mama Lu, in every detail...

The matter of Anjia is not only the family affairs of Zhennan Wangfu, but also involves the overall situation of southern Xinjiang.

Guan Yu Bai flexed his fingers and tapped on the table. After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, picked up a white stone and dropped it on the chessboard, saying, "...The rise of the An family was caused by the people of Baiyue. I believe that it is supported behind the scenes. Based on this, Yi, listen to my inference. "

Xiao Yi nodded, without disturbing him, he heard Guan Yubai say: "Fifty years ago, when the An family fell, An Jizhi, the head of the An family at the time, made a desperate attempt to turn the An family over by going out to sea, but failed, and settled in the An family. When it was about to be completely destroyed, Baiyue contacted An Zhizhi through some means to help the Anjia Rise Society at the expense of making Anjia become Baiyue's eyeliner, and through Anjia, countless spies were buried in the southern border." Said Here, he picked up a white piece and dropped it against the black one, "Including the Fang family."

"In the beginning, Baiyue's Fang's family should not have paid much attention to it. Until the first princess married into Zhennan Wangfu, Fang's family immediately became the most important family in southern Xinjiang. Apparently there are not enough spies who sneak in as servants. So, under the matchmaking of the An family, someone from the Fang family hooked up with Baiyue."

Guan Yubai played with the chess pieces in his hand, and said with a sigh, "Nineteen years ago, the Fang family discovered a salt mine. The salt mine is very important to Baiyue and is bound to be acquired, so they used the Fang family to steal it. In this salt mine, they probably thought that the former princess had discovered this transaction, and in order to silence it, they let the long-hidden Madam Lu assassinate the former princess. Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief when the former princess died, but suffered from I lost an eyeliner in the Zhennan Palace, so the next princess entered the palace..."

Having said that, another chess piece fell.

Xiao Yi's eyes widened, although he had already speculated that the Fang's family should be the third party who colluded with the Baiyue people. After all, after his mother died, only the third party in the Fang family got the most benefit. But now that Guan Yubai confirmed his guess, his heart still sank.

As more and more black stones appeared on the chessboard, the white stones were besieged in isolation and precarious.

After a pause, Guan Yubai's gentle voice continued, "Originally, Baiyue should take advantage of a good opportunity to completely use these forces in his hands to overthrow the southern border. However, Baiyue counts in thousands. Forget it, forget you, Yi."

Guan Yubai looked at Xiao Yi, and a white piece in his hand fell, solving the predicament.

Nangong Yue nodded secretly. In the last life, although Baiyue had a small fight with Southern Border, there was never a real fight. It was not until Xiao Yi led the army to the north that Baiyue saw the opportunity and invaded. In this life, because of Xiao Yi, Baiyue's fangs were interrupted early, leaving them no chance to take advantage of these arrangements.

Xiao Yi said in a gloomy tone, "Damn the An family."

Even with the names of the four major families in the Southern Border, for Xiao Yi, a mere An family really doesn't care. The person who harmed his mother-in-law was Baiyue's spy, but the spy was placed beside her mother-in-law through the Anjia, and it was not a pity for Anjia to die. What's more, An Jia has colluded with Baiyue for many years...

Guan Yubai naturally saw his thoughts and said bluntly: "Ayi, if you have to deal with An Jia now, I don't think it's right."

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Guan Yu said with warm eyes: "What crime are you planning to use? Collusion with Baiyue?" Before Xiao Yi could answer, he continued, "The An family is the uncle's family of the previous princess, and even you have Ayi. The blood of the An family, if the An family carries the notoriety of collaborating with the enemy and treason, it will be detrimental to your reputation."

Xiao Yiman said nonchalantly, "I don't care."

"Ayi, you're wrong." Guan Yubai looked at him and said, "The relatives of Zhennan Wangfu have joined the enemy and betrayed the country. This is the best excuse to take back military power and remove the feudal king. Due to the years of war, the army is insufficient, and the people's livelihood is withering. At such a juncture, we must not take the initiative to hand this handle to the emperor."

Xiao Yi was silent.

"We have to deal with An Jia's absence." Guan Yubai messed up the chessboard and said with a faint smile, "An Jia dared to collude with Baiyue, obviously because of the unreliable family style. Such people, as long as they have the heart, want to catch it. It's not hard to handle. There's no need to miss a big deal for it."

Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully.

It's been more than ten years, and I don't care about these few months.

Guan Yubai put the chess pieces back into the chess box and said, "In addition, there is this step-wife from the Fang family and the palace..."

At this time, the sound of the wheelchair rolling and footsteps came from far and near, accompanied by Xiao Fei's slightly cold voice, "Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely design a pattern for this square seal... "

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by waves of excited eagle cries.

"Little gray..." Xiao Fei blurted out intuitively, looked up, but found a gray and a white eagle circling in the blue sky outside.

Xiao Fei couldn't help but follow the white eagle, and said strangely, "Huh? Why did eldest brother raise another eagle?"

Grandpa Fang smiled and said, "Sister Fei, Han Yu is an eagle raised by Yubai."

At this time, Xiao Hui also saw Xiao Fei, swooped towards her, circled around her happily and flew away, but Han Yu, who followed Xiao Hui, spread her wings and continued to descend, and finally landed in a wheelchair on the armrest...

Its ice blue eagle eyes stared at Xiao Fei, or rather, the silver bracelet inlaid with sapphire on Xiao Fei's left wrist, and the bright yellow eagle beak pecked curiously.

For a moment, Xiao Fei didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing this heroic little guy, his other hand felt a little itchy, and he couldn't help raising his hand to touch it...
