Ziyang City, Shu King’s Mansion, and Lu Yiping is playing chess with Shu King.

The two made a move like a flying flew.

The King of Shu smiled and said, "Yi Gang, your chess skills are much better than last time. After playing two games, he only lost one and half of the king."

The two had finished two sets, each winning one game. In the first game, Lu Yiping was the first, and defeated the third son in the end game. In the second sentence, the King of Shu, who took the lead, defeated the four and a half sons.

Since Lu Yiping played chess with the King of Shu last time, the King of Shu played chess with others again, and the winner was no longer based on the plate, but on the son.

As a result, many people were willing to accompany the King of Shu to talk a few more games, and the King of Shu seemed to be even better at chess skills, and he was very good at sweeping the chess world in Bazhou.

Lu Yiping twisted a white piece in his hand, and after the chessboard was settled, he looked up and said, "It was the king who gave in to his ministers."

The King of Shu laughed and said, "It's not that I asked you, but because this time I was a little unstable!"

Lu Yiping hurriedly stood up and bowed down and said, "I wish to solve my worries and problems for the king!"

The King of Shu waved his hand and said, "Don't be anxious, sit back quickly, and then play. I'm not saying that you and I will play chess for three games first. One draw, you don't know. I discovered that the group of civil officials in Ziyang City are good at playing chess skills. In the past, they were always undecided and tiring. Now they play chess, but they are much faster than you and me."

As he spoke, the King of Shu fell down again, and Lu Yiping's eyelids twitched. The King of Shu's chess skills have improved and he has learned to set traps. However, the method of digging pits is not very clever, and he can see it at a glance. How could the civil officials in the city who are proficient in chess can't see it?

The King of Shu coughed lightly and reminded: "But it's been three breaths!"

Lu Yiping smiled awkwardly, and after Yi Zi settled down, he said, "How can the ministers compare with the king?"

Seeing that Lu Yiping did not see the ambush he set up, the King of Shu felt a little proud, and he picked up a black piece and fell down quickly, and said, "Yiping, although my chess power has improved a lot, you are not bad either. In my opinion, this famous chess player in Bazhou is the only one who is you and I."

Lu Yiping's face was slightly red, but fortunately, no one was watching the game today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit still.

Without thinking, he picked up a white piece and pressed it on the chessboard. He looked up and smiled, "The king is too proud, and the ministers are just making a little faster."

As soon as he finished speaking, the King of Shu frowned slightly, and the black piece in his hand had not fallen for a long time. Seeing Lu Yiping looking at him, the King of Shu smiled awkwardly, twisted the chess and hesitated on the chessboard for a while, and finally chose a place to fall, saying, "Yiping, your magical hand just now has broken the game that I have worked hard to set."

Lu Yiping was stunned and looked down at the chessboard. He was really not led by the King of Shu, but it would be too early to say that he had broken the King of Shu in one son.

Seeing the position of King Luozi of Shu, Lu Yiping sighed in his heart. This king has learned the way of chess in school so seriously that he can't adapt to any of them.

At least Lu Yiping knew a little. When Dong Shixian explained these chess principles to him, he had put the martial arts methods into it and generally understood these chess principles.

Whether it is practicing martial arts or learning chess, except for talent factors, no one can get up and be a master. You must study hard and practice hard and study this method carefully to reach the highest level.

Lu Yiping, who only treats chess as a pastime, is naturally not as good as punching as he does, but he understands all the principles of these chess.

He knew in his heart that the King of Shu was just playing chess to find happiness.

There are two types of people who are superior to seek happiness. One is to seek physical and mental relaxation, while the other is to seek the pleasure brought by desire.

The reason why Sima Xiangle was abolished back then was because he was too indulged in desire and acted recklessly. Such a rise would be a disaster for all people.

Lu Yiping also knew that it was because no one wanted and no one dared to seriously talk about the chess principle to the King of Shu, who was a "famous player" in Yizhou. After all, playing chess is just a pastime, and it is far less useful than giving more advice on major issues in family and country. Too much like the king, it is not far from the word "traitor".

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yiping said in surprise: "Master, if you don't say anything, I really haven't seen it. It turns out that this is the situation you set up, but it was broken by the ministers."

After saying that, let’s make a move. As for the outcome, let it be left to fate.

The King of Shu did not continue to twist his head and said with a smile: "This is not intentional. Speaking of the assassination of the niece in his niece, wasn't it also an accident like a god-like hand?"

Seeing that the King of Shu was no longer interested in playing chess, Lu Yiping put the chess piece in his hand back into the chess jar and nodded and responded: "Thanks to that accident, otherwise I would be afraid that I would not be able to sit here and play chess with the king now."

The game he carefully set was disturbed by Lu Yiping's random tricks. The King of Shu was indeed not interested and continued to do it. He also put the black piece in his hand back into the chess jar. He said: "If you can't do it, you can't do it anymore. It's because I'm not sure enough and have lost my standards!"

Lu Yiping smiled and said, "Why should the king be too humble? If it weren't for the king's advice, my subordinates would not have seen the mystery of this situation."

The King of Shu shook his head and sighed: "A chessboard and pieces are in your hands. There are such variables. The general trend of the world is surging, unpredictable, and even more unpredictable."

Lu Yiping, who was packing the chessboard, picked up the chess piece and said, "If there is a king in Bazhou, it will be visible on a sunny day and everything will be fine."

The King of Shu smiled and said, "Yiping, you are good at flattery. Although I am not a person who likes flattery, I feel comfortable listening to these good words."

Lu Yiping smiled and said, "That's because the king knows people with a wise eye and knows what kind of person I, Lu Yiping, is. What I just said is the heart of my ministers, and it is definitely not to please the king."

The King of Shu stood up and said with a smile: "Yiping, do you know what I admire most about you?"

Lu Yiping, who had already packed the chessboard, also stood up and lowered his head slightly and said, "I don't know, but I know what the king doesn't like!"

"oh?"

The King of Shu smiled, "Tell me!"

Lu Yiping said seriously: "The king does not like his ministers telling lies. Not only does he not like his ministers telling lies, but no one telling lies, the king does not like his ministers telling lies."

"Hahahahaha!"

The King of Shu laughed at the sky a few times, pointed at Lu Yiping and said, "Okay, Lu Yiping, I admire you the most, and dare to tell the truth!"

Lu Yiping muttered in his heart, it doesn’t count when playing chess.

The King of Shu took two steps and said, "I have summoned you here this time. There is really something important to do. I will use troops near Liangcheng!"

Lu Yiping was shocked and asked quickly: "What? Xiliang called him?"

The King of Shu waved his hand and said, "Yes, no, it's about to be called, but it's not really a fight!"

Lu Yiping was confused when he heard this.

The King of Shu continued to say to Lu Yiping, who showed a puzzled expression on his face, "Not long ago, I received a secret letter from the King of Xiliang. In the letter, he clearly stated that he was interested in taking Tubo from the west and asked me to cooperate with him in a play."

"acting?"

The King of Shu nodded and said, "There is no secret that there is a Tubo army in Gaoyang City. When I found out that a Tubo army arrived in Gaoyang City, I even scolded Shangguan Laopin. I didn't expect that Shangguan Qingyun's move was a trick to confuse the enemy. He clearly stated in the letter that he would reveal the whereabouts of Tubo army to our people and give us a chance to ambush the Tubo army."

Lu Yiping frowned and asked, "Master, could it be a Liangzhou strategy?"

The King of Shu smiled and said, "After all, we are our own family, and Tubo is just a foreign tribe. With my understanding of him, Shangguan Qingyun for so many years, this matter should be true."

Lu Yiping thought for a while and asked again: "This Tubo army is far away in Gaoyang City. If the King of Xiliang wants to annex Tubo, why don't he take action directly? Why should he borrow the hands of my Bazhou?"

The King of Shu smiled and said, "This is where I look up to him, Shangguan Qingyun. For more than ten years, Shangguan Qingyun has not been idle. He sent troops to help the current Tubo king Zarudojin unify Tubo. The king of Tubo regards him as his brother. At present, Xiliang still helps Tubo. Yiping, think about it, if Liangzhou did not take the banner of clearing the king's side, my Great Jin will still be the Great Jin Dynasty that was the original Great Jin Dynasty. Do the Tubo people dare to borrow the hands of Liangzhou?"

Lu Yiping nodded and said, "That's true, but since King Xiliang is helping Tubo, why did he fight against him? He also wanted to use my Bazhou to get rid of the Tubo army?"

The King of Shu sighed: "This is the most clever thing about Shangguan Laoer. I even suspect that there are experts around him to help him make plans. If he pacified, it would not be enough to attack Tubo alone by force. Otherwise, if he was strong during the reign of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty, he would have really included the Tubo Xiongnu and other barbarians in our Central Plains rule. In addition to regional advantages, the living habits of the Hu people are different from those of our Great Jin Dynasty. But why did the Hu people violate our Central Plains? It is because in their eyes, the things in our Central Plains are much better than those of their Hu people. But if they are willing to help the Tubo people, teach them to send our Central Plains products to Tubo, and then exchange them for the Tubo people to see it. It turns out that if they don't have to fight and kill, they can get what they want. If they pacified, no one is willing to fight and kill!"

Lu Yiping was silent for a moment and asked, "Master, why does King Xiliang need to destroy the troops in Gaoyang City?"

The King of Shu smiled and said, "Feed the tiger, and it has the strength to bite you back, what should I do if I bite you? So, it still needs to cut its claws, and it should also whip a few times!"

Lu Yiping thoughtfully, nodded and said, "It seems that my Bazhou is going to take the blame for Liangzhou."

The King of Shu nodded and said seriously: "Since Xiliang is going to complete this unfinished foundation that our predecessors have, so what if I, Fan Jingtian, help him?"

Lu Yiping knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty Gao Yi!"

The King of Shu helped Lu Yiping up, smiled and said, "Is it here again? It's enough to say good things once, but it's not beautiful if you say too much."

Lu Yiping asked in a deep voice: "Master, what should I do? Please tell me!"

The King of Shu nodded and said, "Yiping, in addition to guarding Pingnan City, you must also be prepared at any time and support Yunshang City!"

"Yunshangcheng? What does the king mean by Jingzhou?"

The King of Shu walked to the table and sat down, signaled Lu Yiping to sit together, and continued, "Since the accident of his niece in the last life, I have been guarding against Jingzhou. Yiping, think about it, if Liangzhou pointed at Tubo, then my western part of Bazhou is Wuyou, what would you think about Xie Liangchen? Besides, the last thing was probably not that simple."

Lu Yiping poured a cup of tea for the King of Shu, and then poured a cup for himself. After drinking a sip of tea, he said, "The king, the ministers also think so, but should we guard or fight in Jingzhou?"

The King of Shu was silent for a moment, took a sip of tea first, put down the tea bowl, and shook his head gently and said, "I will discuss this matter again, and it will not be too late to discuss it after the Liangcheng matter is finished."

Lu Yiping understood what the King of Shu said. If Bazhou took action first, he would be afraid that the charge of rebellion would fall on the King of Shu. After all, the world is still named Sima.

The King of Shu then asked: "Have you ever investigated the niece who saved his niece?"

Lu Yiping nodded and said, "He is a small boy named Yuanxi. He and his master lived in seclusion in Tianyu Mountain, Pingnan City. He just went down the mountain and met a little girl and was attacked, so he took action with righteousness."

The King of Shu was stunned, "Are you talking about a young man? Didn't his master take action?"

Lu Yiping smiled and said, "The King, it was indeed what Yuan Xi did. I have asked him personally and tried his martial arts. It's ashamed to say that Yuan Xi is only seventeen years old, but this martial arts are already catching up with his subordinates. I just have a little advantage in fighting him."

The King of Shu said in shock: "It's so powerful? Who is his master? Can your Qingyun Sect recognize this person?"

Lu Yiping shook his head and said, "It's shameful to say that after Yuanxi went down the mountain, his teacher also left Tianyu Mountain. As for his traces, I don't know. I wrote a letter to ask the master, and the other side of the master didn't know the origin of this person. Yuanxi followed his master up the mountain since he was a child, but only knew that his master called himself a mountain layman, and the internal skills he learned were funny, called advanced internal skills."

King Shu laughed and said, "It's a very loud name. I believe his master doesn't want to reveal his background."

Lu Yiping nodded and said, "That's true, but the king rests at ease. Yuan Xi is an open-minded person, open-minded and honest person, and he values ​​friendship. He is not a villain."

The King of Shu looked at Lu Yiping and always felt something was wrong.

When Lu Yiping saw the King of Shu looking at him, he hurriedly continued, "The King, it was my subordinate who was negligent. Yuan Xi has now joined my command and has not yet had time to report to the King."

The King of Shu smiled and said, "It's just a subordinate, and you don't need to report everything to me."

Lu Yiping wanted to speak but stopped.

The King of Shu looked at Lu Yiping and said, "You have made an old problem again, right?"

Lu Yiping said: "Your Majesty, I am here in Ziyang City and bring Yuan Xi."

The King of Shu glanced at Lu Yiping, who felt guilty and picked up the teacup.

The King of Shu smiled and said, "In this way, are you going to reuse this person?"

Lu Yiping smiled awkwardly, "The king's eyes are as sharp as a torch, but his subordinates promise that this person can bear the great responsibility."

The King of Shu said: "Since that's the case, if I don't see this Yuanxi, will you, Lu Yiping, not say anything heartfelt?"
