Gu Jue and Ukhagalao started playing this blind chess game a few days ago.

The so-called "blind chess" means that when both sides play chess, they do not need to look at the chessboard or use hand-playing chess pieces, and use mantras to express the chess steps to be taken. This requires superb chess skills and amazing memory to memorize the entire chess game in my mind, and the requirements for chess and memory are extremely high.

There is no time rule for this game of chess between Gu Jue and Ukhagalau. It is randomly underground and stops casually.

They have been playing for more than three days and have not decided the outcome yet. Except for the two of them, the others have no idea what kind of situation they have reached in this game of chess.

After the two of them got back and forth a few times, Jialou seemed to feel that Gu Jue was in a good mood and suddenly asked, "Things went well?"

In fact, Jialou did not need someone else to escort him back to Hao. He proposed to escort Gu Jue, but just wanted to sell his favor to him and give him a chance to leave the capital with a legitimate reason.

He ignored other things at all, and had never thought about exploring where Gu Jue went and what he did in those days.

It is conceivable that Gu Jue would definitely have something to deal with when he carried the emperor on his back.

This time he not only sold his favor to Gu Jue, but also gave Chu Qianchen a favor.

"So smooth." Gu Jue didn't intend to hide it, so he nodded directly, and a soft smile flashed through his eyes.

Surprise, relief, and pleasure are all there.

Before leaving the capital, he only told Chu Qianchen that he would go to the northwest to meet Qin Yao quietly.

That's all.

At that time, he didn't know the situation in the northwest and didn't decide what to do. However, he believed that this girl would be able to cooperate with him, but he didn't expect that she could do this.

Thinking of the content of the letter, Gu Jue's eyes were filled with smiles, and a slender figure appeared in his mind. The girl looked back at him, as beautiful and charming as the flashy cereal blooming under the moon.

This marriage was originally just a coincidence, but unexpectedly made him worry.

Gu Jue's smile was like the spring breeze and rain, and suddenly he wanted to go back to the capital as soon as possible.

"Black, December, three, stand."

"White, fourteen pheasants, six, gate."

“…”

With the sound of sounds, the convoy advanced rapidly and came to a stone tablet with the words "Changjing Town" written on it.

Jingfeng rode his horse to Gu Jue and reported, "Prince, walk three miles further ahead to Changjing Town. After we go to Changjing Town to replenish supplies, we can go to the dock."

After crossing the river from the wharf, it is not the territory of Da Qi, but the territory of Hao Kingdom.

Their journey is finally coming to an end.

Thinking of this, these soldiers, who were exhausted, couldn't help but become energetic.

So, Gu Jue ordered the accompanying soldiers to stay here and stand by, and he and a dozen people including Ukhagalou went to the town to replenish supplies and take a break.

The group slowed down slightly, rode their horses forward for two cups of tea, and a small town appeared in front.

This town is not big, and the main street is only enough for three horses to go in parallel.

There are many restaurants and shops on both sides of the street, and there are vendors and peddlers setting up stalls every few steps on the road. Some passers-by are buying things at the stalls on the side of the road and bargaining.

The stall owners were calling out to the business at the top of their voices:

"Look, take a look, my fruits and vegetables are fresh and cheap."

"Dear masters, do you want to buy some gadgets to take for your wife?"

"Direct goods, we sell them. Our dry goods are the most reasonable price in this town!"

“…”

On the street, the shouts of stall owners and shop friends were heard one after another, full of vitality.

After entering the town, the group entered a restaurant nearby. In the lobby of the restaurant, there were only three or four tables.

Gu Jue and Ukhaga Tower sat at a table, and the others scattered and gathered together three tables.

Jingfeng looked at the noisy streets outside and smiled and said, "This town is lively. Although the sparrows are small, they are all complete."

Others also agreed: "Yes, it's really lively."

"I have eaten those cold and hard dry food recently. My mouth is almost fading out. Today I can finally find a decent hotel to have a hot meal."

"It's better to buy some meat, duck, sausage, etc., and store it for a few more days."

“…”

Everyone felt saliva and hungry.

"What do you want to eat?" A waiter holding a rag strip stepped forward, wiped the table with the rag strip in his hand, and greeted Gu Jue and Ukhalo happily.

Before they could answer, the waiter said erectly: "Our Yunlai Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the town. Our chef's grandfather used to be a chef in Tianxianglou, the capital. The cooking skills are nothing to say. Whether it is meat or vegetarian dishes, they are all top-notch."

Gu Jue said casually: "Then let's serve some of your specialties."

"Okay!" The waiter answered repeatedly, "Please wait, guests."

The waiter turned around with a rag strip, a sharp flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

The waiter quickly retreated from the front hall.

After a while, he came back with a tray, with a few pots of tea and a few dishes on it, and said with a diligent smile: "Several guests, the food kitchen is already cooking. I'll give you some tea and side dishes first, and you can make your stomach first!"

The few side dishes served by Xiao Er were all cold dishes, such as salt and peanuts, dried bamboo shoots with sesame oil, goose palm and duck letters, cold pickled bracken, etc.

"We don't have any good tea here. This barley tea was also fried by the chef. It is fragrant, appetizing, and quenching thirst." The waiter thoughtfully poured tea for Gu Jue and Ukhagalou, and said with a lotus color.

Gu Jue picked up the white porcelain teacup casually, sniffed the tea fragrance, and praised: "Tea is a good tea, the burnt fragrance is fresh and not mixed."

Xiao Er's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said to Ukhaga Lou, "There is no meat in this tea, so the master will try it too?"

Jialou did not move, holding a bead in one hand and giving a Buddhist tribute to Gu Jue sitting opposite him, "Bai, eleventh winter, fiveth, thorn."

The last word he made slightly heavier the volume.

The two of them looked at each other. On the chessboard that only they knew, Bai Zi, who had been stably struggling suddenly turned into a long sword that was unsheathed, and the cold blade aimed at the enemy.

Gu Jue smiled, as if he had heard something that pleased him, and he didn't even pause for a moment, and said, "Black, Seventeen Stars, Three, Demolition."

The waiter was confused when he heard this and looked at the two of them back and forth.

He held his left hand in his sleeve, and a dagger was added in his hand, and he walked closer to Ukhagalau, "Guest..."

The next moment, his smile froze on the corner of his mouth, and a long knife stabbed him from behind. He was short and wanted to hide, but it was too late. The other two long swords crossed and attacked him left and right, and two knives were placed on his neck.

Mo Chen made a quick decision to remove the waiter's left wrist, and the dagger in the other party's hand fell off. Mo Chen's toes lifted the hilt of the dagger, and the dagger fell into his hand.

"..." The waiter's eyes widened in disbelief, and his cold sweat broke out.

At the same time, the soldiers from the other three tables also took action simultaneously and divided the work and cooperated tacitly. The two soldiers carefully blocked the restaurant gate. The others killed one, and the white knife entered and the red knife came out, killing all the other diners in the lobby, each of them killed with one knife.

In just a blink of an eye, the corpse lying all over the floor in the lobby of the restaurant, and blood flowed out from under the corpse...

On the street outside the restaurant, no one noticed the changes here, and the bustling atmosphere was still there.

Mo Chen pointed the new dagger in his hand at the waiter's face, and ruthlessly cut a blood mark on his face, and asked coldly: "Who sent you here?"

He was like an emotionless weapon, full of murderous intent.

The waiter sneer sneered, ignored Mo Chen, but looked at Gu Jue and Jialou, and asked without answering, "Where did I reveal my flaws?"

"There are flaws everywhere." Gu Jue casually played with the white porcelain tea cup in his hand. "There is a pesticide bar in this barley tea, and the burnt fragrance of the tea covers the fragrance of the medicine."

"This person at the gate has been following us since entering the town, and sitting there is also to block the gate."

"The table of people next to us has only had a cup of tea, and they have peeked at us for at least thirty times. Their toes are all pointing to this side, and they are not sure and are ready to go."

"The food on these people's tables was all cold, at least it was overnight dishes."

"Their tiger's mouths all have cocoons, and they are all martial artists..."

“…”

The more Gu Jue said, the ugly look on his face became. He said in a deep voice: "The soldiers are inconsistent and deceitful. Your Highness Chen is indeed well-known. No wonder we fell into your hands!"

Gu Jue smiled slightly, and a little bit of coldness appeared in his smile, "Are you here for Ukhagata?"

Gu Jue saved the life of the waiter, of course, not because of kindness, but for interrogation.

Just now, he talked so much to the waiter because he was just to observe his expression and reaction.

This person is a well-trained killer. He reacts differently to the ordinary people when facing torture. His expression changes will be more subtle, and he may even make some reactions to mislead others, so Gu Jue needs some basis for judgment.

The waiter did not answer, but said, "If I say that I was sent by the emperor to assassinate His Highness, will Your Highness believe me?"
