The snow drifted down and fell among the open woods.

Song Yufu was a little nervous. After all, this was considered taking her boyfriend to meet her parents. She walked to the chess table and picked up the food box and whispered:

"Grandpa, he is Xu Buling, the prince of Prince Su."

Xu Buling raised his hand and bowed: "Greetings to the old man."

The old master did not turn his head, but just raised his hand to signal the seat opposite:

"Yufu, go and wait."

Song Yufu actually wanted to hear what her grandfather and Xu Buling said. Seeing that her grandfather didn't let her listen, she had to give up and ran out of the woods and wait.

Xu Buling had a humble and polite expression. She sat down opposite the chess table and looked up. When she looked up, she saw that the old master had gray hair, even her beard, and had a hooked nose and clear eyes. She looked like she was a talented person when she was young. She also had a strong aura. If she didn't look up at Xu Buling, Xu Buling felt a little restless.

The aura is very mysterious. It is usually manifested between the superior and the inferior. It is invisible and intangible, but it does. Another type is the gap in knowledge. Those with a wide range of knowledge and profound experience can see the other party at a glance, so they are calm and composed, while the other party knows nothing and cannot see through it. They will naturally become nervous when facing the unknown.

Xu Buling's two lives are probably not as big as the old man opposite. In terms of social status, he may not necessarily be as high as the other party. He is not surprised by this, and his eyes are on the chessboard in front of him...

What a hell thing...

Xu Buling can play Go, but the chessboard in front of him has no mess at all. After reading it for a long time, he couldn't understand it. He couldn't help but wonder:

"Sir, what kind of chess is this?"

The old master flicked his finger and threw the chess piece into the chess basket: "This is not a chess, it is a mark. You can't understand it even if you say it."

"Well……"

Xu Buling flattered: "I heard that the old man knows the world without leaving home. I am an ordinary man and take it for granted."

The old master looked up and looked at him: "Do you know what to do if you call you here?"

Xu Buling looked at Song Yufu looking away: "For Miss Song's marriage?"

“This is one of them.”

The old Master's eyes were dull and swept the chessboard in front of him:

"I have been watching the Dragon Gu lock in Chang'an. Yufu came to ask me to wake you up a little, but I didn't expect you to unlock the Dragon Gu lock, and the way to break the situation was unexpected, so I called you over and take a look."

The sentence "It is hard to achieve enlightenment against the will of heaven, and it is true to follow the trend" did wake up Xu Buling at that time. It was not until then that Xu Buling decided to follow the trend. If it were not for this sentence, Xu Buling would not follow the established route. The most likely result was that he was still staying in Chang'an City and Song Ji, Song Yu would or had killed him from Chang'an, and Xiliang and the court had already started fighting.

Therefore, Xu Buling was still grateful to this old master and smiled and said:

"I have no way to go in Chang'an, I just want to protect myself. Thank you for your timely help."

The old master shook his head: "A single hair moves the whole body. If you ask for a way out, others will die. This matter is endless."

"Um?"

Xu Buling frowned and thought for a moment: "Why did you say this sir?"

"Since Song Ji ascended the throne, he has ambition and courage, and is impeccable in all aspects. He should have been a wise ruler who unified the world. But Song Ji was too ambitious and wanted to finish everything in his life without leaving any trouble for his descendants. The result was obvious."

The old master looked at the mountains and fields in the distance and said in a deep voice:

"Since the previous dynasty, the world has become a good martial arts trend, and the mountains and fields have frequently produced complicated forces, and they are all in charge and do not obey the court's orders. However, over the past few hundred years, they have already established their own rules.

The first thing Song Ji did to succeed the throne was to eliminate the bandits in the world. The original intention and method were correct, but there was a problem with the process. He was so busy with the bandit control that he did not do his best to rectify the government, which led to the local government's orders being implemented in an opportunity to make money. The disobedience of the rivers and lakes caused the iron eagle to hunt deer, and the bloody swamp of the world really shocked the world, making Dayue look much more peaceful on the surface, but he also drilled many holes in the thousand-mile dike.

In the past, although Lu Cao and other forces in the martial arts world drew a clear line with the government, their family business was ultimately a requirement for stability. Just like the Cao family, they originally controlled the waterways around Yueyang, and even traveled around the Cao family. In order to maintain this position, they also tried their best to maintain the stability around Yueyang, and they did not reject the imperial decrees. As long as they said hello, they would never embarrass the local officials.

After the Iron Eagle Flying Deer, the Cao family retreated and stopped in charge of the affairs of the world. The people who suffered the disaster had no way out, resulting in bandits on the waterway. The government did not have the reputation accumulated by the Cao family for hundreds of years, and could not command the bandits in the world. The officers and soldiers were good at capturing the cities and territories, but they had no choice but to hand them over to the Wolf Guard. But the world is so big, and the Wolf Guard is like a drop in the bucket. The world is even more chaotic."

Xu Buling thought about it: "For the king, it is impossible for the world to exist like an inability to exist. The original intention of the emperor today is indeed correct, and there are many reasons for the end of the matter. However, no matter how chaotic the world is, it is just a child playing house and will not affect the overall situation."

The old master nodded slightly: "This matter has nothing to do with the overall situation, but Song Ji did not handle it well enough, and exposed the shortcomings of his tough approach. While the iron eagle flies, Song Ji began to brew and reduce the vassal states.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the power of the princes and kings of all dynasties has been too great. The monarchs of all dynasties have tried to reduce the vassal states, and the consequences are either change the lords of the world or leave them alone. The Jiang family of the former dynasty was because the monarchs reduced the vassal state and established the great throne, and the same is true for the Song family. If the founding seven kings were not cut off, the Song family will never be stable."

Xu Buling chuckled at this, "It's true."

"Although the seven kings are in power and even have old grudges, they have always shared the same hatred for the enemy when it comes to reducing the vassals. Song Ji set up a Dragon Gu layout on you, and they were sure to win. As long as King Su cuts it, it is difficult to threaten Guanzhong Road, and other vassal kings dare not resist the emperor's order even if they have complaints...

...But you broke the situation in Chang'an and returned to your fiefdom safely. Song Ji did nothing and turned against King Su's lineage. Other vassal kings also understood that Song Ji really wanted to reduce the vassals and had already taken action. What do you think of those vassal kings?"

Xu Buling blinked and said nothing.

The old master snorted faintly: "So you have walked out of a life without any harm, and Song Ji was in a dead end. It is a fact that you have already used a knife and cannot be saved at all. I don't believe you, you still think about the heaven, earth, the king, the relatives and teachers, and treat Song Ji as the monarch. The other six Song vassal kings are the same, waiting for King Su to take action, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Xu Buling thought for a while: "The old man came to me, that's all that?"

The old master shook his head: "These are obvious things, you should be clear. I asked you to come here to remind you not to do your job properly. As Prince Su, the people on his shoulders are thousands of miles of country and the world.

I know that you want to be a hero in the world and be a hero in the world, and beauties and wine to accompany you for a lifetime, but your identity is destined to be without such a blessing. From the day when Chang'an City came out safely, your path for the rest of your life will be fixed - if you don't sit on the dragon throne, you will definitely be killed."

Xu Buling laughed: "This is not a trivial matter, many people will die."

"I don't want to die, but I've gotten rid of military power. My whole family will go to Chang'an to be a free prince. Song Ji thinks that he will be very grateful to your Xu family."

"The old man is so humorous."

The old master smirked without laughing, and raised his hand:

"When you go to Jiangnan, you should encounter some things. If someone wants to borrow the hairpin that Yufu gives you, you don't have to hide it."

Xu Buling nodded slightly and thought: "By the way, old man, what are the four jade artifacts left by Zuo Zhexian for? "

"It's useless, just the bait thrown by Li Hansheng."

"Bail..."

Xu Buling didn't ask any more questions, got up and bowed and prepared to leave. After thinking about it, he said with a smile:

"Old sir, can I take Miss Song with me when I leave?"

The old master did not reply and continued to study the chessboard.
