Chapter 242: 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 saying of repaying grievances with kindness with straightforwardness. Even to say, it is not just the Xia Kingdom, but also the entire world, whether in the martial arts world or the court, the people living in this land are accustomed to being simple and direct. If you hit me, I will fight back, or even more ruthless. If you want to kill me, I will kill you.
Therefore, it is actually a normal thing for Gu Qingci to not choose to compromise or to compromise under the pressure of his own people. When Xia Guo made the final decision and even brought out Mr. Wuque, Yang Zhengming, Qi Hui and that faction might end there, unless the Xia Emperor wants to use them one day.
Because Mr. Wuque never interferes in the affairs of the court, the reason why Emperor Xia considers Mr. Wuque's ideas everywhere is that it is really out of respect for Mr. Wuque's prestige. Now Emperor Xia asks Yang Zhengming to rest, and maybe, he will really rest until he dies of old age.
At this time, the people in the court couldn't help but look at Gu Qingci. They found that Gu Qingci was really a despicable person. As long as the person offended him seemed to have a bad result, no matter his identity, he did not have a good result. Ma Dongyang was in front and Yang Zhengming was in back. Although Yang Zhengming's incident was really nothing to do with Gu Qingci, the reason for this was all because of him.
Emperor Xia and Mr. Wuque have a unified mind, which is something that Yang Zhengming can never turn over, but Gu Qingci is actually helpless. He never thought of dealing with Yang Zhengming. It was normal for the court to argue endlessly, but Yang Zhengming was too unlucky and hit Emperor Xia's gun.
Of course, this also reveals news that Emperor Xia may really have to make big moves. He wants to stabilize the court. Those old ministers with high positions and power may become his burden, so it is time to get off.
It can only be said to be a coincidence, but Gu Qingci happened to meet him.
Gu Qingci seemed to feel the various eyes coming from all directions. He narrowed his eyes slightly and bowed, "Your Majesty, please do the rules!"
At this moment, the sound of busy footsteps sounded at the entrance of the hall. Xiao Yi quickly ran to the side of Emperor Xia from outside and whispered a few soft words.
Emperor Xia slowly raised his head, looked at the court officials, and said slowly: "I have a decision on the assassination of Lantian County. Gu Qingci stayed, so everyone else should leave the court!"
No one figured out what happened, but they left one after another, only Gu Qingci was still standing there.
Soon, everyone was finished. Emperor Xia slowly walked down, walked to Gu Qingci, and said slowly: "The Grandmaster Gu Bridge, Linyuan Cave Heaven, is here, and is playing chess with Mr. Wuque. I ask to see you. Well, what do you think?"
"Master!" Gu Qingci was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Xiao Yu was the seven mystery in the world. The heir of Linyuan Cave Heaven is almost at the Xia Kingdom. It would be strange if Linyuan Cave Heaven is not in a hurry. A master is enough to give the Xia Kingdom court face.
Of course, besides giving face, it is also an act of pressure. Gu Qingci was silent for a moment and asked, "I just want to ask, Your Majesty, your position."
Emperor Xia smiled slightly, patted Gu Qingci's shoulder, and said, "Why is Xiao Yu the heir of Linyuan Cave Heaven, and it is also the seven mysteries of the world. It is very important for Linyuan Cave Heaven, and as for you..."
Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and said lightly: "If Daxia is compared to a sect, you are also the seven mysteries of the world of Daxia. From the perspective of the country, Xiao Yu is the son-in-law, and you are the county of Daxia and the hero of Daxia."
"My position is to let go!"
Emperor Xia's voice was very dull and not loud, but it seemed to be heard. Every word fell on Gu Qingci's mind. Although he understood that Emperor Xia valued his potential and was also some political language, he was still a little moved.
Gu Qingci sorted out his clothes and bowed solemnly: "I, Gu Qingci, will never regret living as a native of Daxia!"
…………
In the imperial city, there was a pavilion in the heart of a lake, and there were two people, Mr. Wuque in white robe, and an ancient bridge in blue-gray Taoist robe. Both of them were covered in white hair and sat opposite each other. Straws of sandalwood slowly rose up, and a chessboard in front of them.
Guqiao changed his previous appearance and made a slow move seriously and said softly: "Fifty years ago, I had the honor to meet you, Mr. Husband. At that time, I was impressed by Mr. Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Husband Hu
He slowly picked up a white piece, and Mr. Wuque smiled and said, "I'm old, we're all old. Now the world no longer needs our old bones. When we're old, the world is still full of troubles and the excitement is still there."
Gu Qiao shook his head and said helplessly: "Yes, this world is still the world of ours at that time, but it is no longer our era. For the sake of the sect, I have to put my face down and beg you, sir."
Mr. Wuque made a quick look and looked up at the lake. The breeze gently rippled, circle by circle, but it was frozen at the moment when Mr. Wuque looked over, as if there were wrinkles on a calm face. He said slowly: "It's past, you guys are on the line of fire this time, I'm very angry."
"I know," Gu Qiao nodded and said, "So, I have to go down the mountain myself."
Mr. Wuque sighed and said, "As it still said, this is no longer our world, it belongs to young people. Whatever depends on me. As for whether to give you face or not, I don't have the final say."
Speaking of this, Mr. Wuque suddenly said, "Hey, this game is probably going to be a draw again, so let's change it."
"Okay!" Gu Qiao nodded.
The black and white chess pieces on the chess board slowly floated up and were collected in an orderly manner, and the chess board recovered like new things.
…………
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, two masters talked about the game.
Gu Qingci saw the silhouette of Gu Qiao from a distance. He had a elegant appearance, a simple Taoist robe and a pair of cloth shoes, like a cultivating old Taoist priest, facing Mr. Wuque's chessboard, both of them looked confident, with elegant demeanor and outstanding temperament.
Gu Qingci knew very well that these two old men were the best masters in the world. Not to mention that ordinary people in front of these two people, they would probably even be respectful to high-ranking officials.
I think there are no more masters in the world than these two.
Gu Qingci calmed down and approached respectfully. It happened that the two top masters in the world were fighting in full swing, and they were concentrating on the game, and no one paid attention to Gu Qingci.
However, when Gu Qingci looked at the chessboard, an indescribable emotion surged into his heart, pursing his lips, not knowing how to describe his mood at this time, or just saying that silence is better than sound at this time.
He has some knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although he is not very proficient in chess, he also knows that true masters should play chess with huge numbers, implicitly, condescending, either surprisingly and ingeniously, or rigorously, with ten steps in one step, and the murderous aura is complete.
Especially when two masters play chess, they should be more imposing.
But the two people in front of him were so messy and randomly pieced together, but they were still playing the same thing and couldn't stand it. From time to time, they even praised it for commercial purposes, "If you don't take the chess, you won't hit the air, this move is wonderful! When the chess is difficult, the little sharp, and the sir is like the finishing touch of the painting! Miaomiaomiao, this step is full of murderous aura, and one son is settled..."
Gu Qingci looked at it for a while, and his face couldn't help but twitch.
It was not until after a long time that Mr. Wuque sighed slowly, raised his hand and refused to make a move, and said, "If you go on this, you may have a draw again!"
Gu Qingci widened his eyes and looked confused. Is there any idea of a draw in this chess?
However, Gu Qingci couldn't help but speak. The two of them had already tacitly accepted the chess pieces. Mr. Wuque looked at him with a smile and asked, "Qingci, you have been watching us play chess for so long, but what do you think?"
Gu Qingci couldn't help but twitch his face, and said with a smile: "Students were refreshed when they watched the two of them play chess. Well, they felt a lot of emotion, but it was hard to describe it, it was hard to finish!"
Mr. Wuque said lightly: "It's no wonder that both of us have never lost all our lives. Today we are destined to decide the winner, but we are invincible. Alas, it's a pity that we are about to meet good talents and match opponents, but we don't have much time!"
Gu Qiao also said seriously: "It's a pity. The old Taoist has never been so happy in his life as today. It's rare, rare!"
Looking at the two old men with infinite emotion, Gu Qingci felt a little nervous for a moment.
After a long time, the two great masters finally came out of the difficulty of finding a close friend and felt a lot of emotion.
It was only then that Mr. Wuque noticed that Gu Qingci was still standing, pointed to the stone bench, and said, "Sit down!"
Gu Qingci bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
Mr. Wuque waved his hand and said, "You know this Taoist priest, do you know him?"
Gu Qingci stood up, bowed and said, "My younger generation Gu Qingci, have seen Senior Gu Qiao."
Gu Qiao smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Why are young people nowadays so stern, without any temperament, not fun."
Gu Qingci smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
The air suddenly fell silent. After a while, Gu Qiao slowly squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Qingci, and said softly: "Why don't you say anything? Shouldn't you ask me? If you don't ask me, what should I say?"
Gu Qingci smiled and said, "Why do you want to ask me? Since it is the senior who is here to look for me, he will naturally say something if he has something to do, and he will naturally leave if he has nothing to do."
Gu Qiao whispered and muttered: "It's boring. You guy is so bad. You have to ask me to speak. Well, since that's the case, I'll just go straight to the point. I want you to let Xiao Yuhe's unscrupulous brat!"
Gu Qingci had known why Gu Qiao came, so naturally he would not be surprised. He said lightly: "I'm afraid I'm going to caress my senior's wishes. Why did Xiao Yu send someone to assassinate me in front? I'm a stingy person and can't do anything to repay kindness with kindness!"
"But, it wasn't him who sent someone to assassinate you!"
Before Gu Qingci asked, Gu Qiao told him all the way and said, "Actually, Xiao Yuhe didn't know anything about your assassination from beginning to end. It was not until the end that when your Xia Kingdom surrounded the embassy, he knew about it.
But there is no way, and I don’t know what the bad guy did. He was so unruly at the beginning, but after meeting the princess of the Yan royal family, he felt like he lost his soul and insisted on marrying the princess at all costs. Now, for the sake of that princess, I took this matter alone, alas..."
Gu Qingci did not doubt the authenticity of Gu Qiao's statement, and there was no need to doubt it. There was no need to tell lies with Gu Qiao's identity. Moreover, Gu Qingci had once met Xiao Yuhe, and with Xiao Yuhe's attitude of protecting his wife, it was normal to do such things.
However, Gu Qingci still shook his head and said, "Senior, even if it wasn't done by him, so what? He came out to take it himself. His own choice, even if he kneels down, he has to finish it. Is it because he is taking responsibility for others, so I have to choose to calm down? This is so unreasonable. My Gu Qingci's life is not that cheap!"
"I know, I know." Gu Qiao said: "Of course I can't let you go with just one sentence. Don't say you don't agree. I'm embarrassed myself, let alone Mr. Wuque is still here, and I can't beat him."
Gu Qingci looked at Mr. Wuque thoughtfully, and Mr. Wuque smiled slightly, sent a message and said, "The Guqiao is here, Xiao Yuhe is probably not that easy to kill. Although this old guy looks calm, for his inheritance of the Abyss and Cave Heaven, he may be able to fight to the death in this capital."
Gu Qingci frowned and had not responded yet. Mr. Wuque continued: "Of course, don't worry, no matter what you do, I will support you. This old guy dares to fight, and I dares to fight to death. What's more, this is Chang'an City, and it's not the turn of Linyuan Cave Heaven to come here to be presumptuous."
Gu Qingci pondered for a while and said, "Senior Gu Qiao, what I, Gu Qingci, is not life, but a breath. Xiao Yuhe and I have no grudges, but a grudge, but I almost died. I asked me to let go casually, which is impossible."
Gu Qiao smiled faintly and said, "I am not a negotiating person. Before I came, the royal family of Yan State and the bottom line of Linyuan Cave Heaven told me, so I will tell you directly. I will go to the Gu God Cult for you and declare to the whole world that if anyone wants to hit your younger brother Liuli Golden Silk Gu, I will greet you one by one. I will guarantee that your younger brother will not be bothered by the matter of Liuli Golden Silk Gu, and you can walk around the world with confidence and boldness."
"In addition, Xiao Yu, He will be in jail for five years and not out of Linyuan Cave Heaven. In half a year, my Linyuan Cave Heaven Sword Tomb will be opened. You can get a place to enter. This is the compensation condition for Linyuan Cave Heaven. The compensation condition for the Yan royal family is to not participate in the black domain competition for ten years, and there are some basic money, and the leader of the Three Kingdoms imperial courts will not participate in the competition."
Gu Qingci frowned and said, "I have seen the sincerity of Linyuan Cave Heaven, but the Yan State court has no sincerity at all. It's not that I am arrogant. Why don't Xiao Yu come out? I'm afraid I'm here. There's nothing wrong with him in this black domain."
Gu Qiao touched his head with some headache and said, "What do you want?"
Gu Qingci said lightly: "Meng Qi, she took this matter and should give me the most explanation to her!"
Gu Qiao nodded and said, "What do you want?"
"In addition to the above conditions, another one is added, Meng Qi is demoted to a civilian and will not be allowed to enter the capital of Yan State, Hanjing, and will not be able to go to Linyuan Cave Heaven!"
