Silver Moon Halberd

In the three days before the appointment, Ye Zhenge taught Xi Xiu to play chess when he had nothing to do. Xi Xiu tried to practice martial arts several times but was blocked.Ye Zhenge also refused to argue, and only dragged him around when his patience was exhausted.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

At noon, a team of guards brought two sedan chairs to invite Ye Zhenge and Xi Xiu to Zhenlong Terrace.

The towering building was heavily guarded, and the two got off the sedan chair one by one, led by the chief guard to move on.The passage to Zhenlong Terrace is set inside the city tower, with wooden stairs spiraling upwards, occasionally inlaid with fluorite lighting, and the stuffy atmosphere makes it hard to breathe.

After a stick of incense, Xi Xiu stepped out of the building door, and after adapting to the sudden sunlight, her eyes opened wider and wider.I saw a huge chessboard under the stage, the stone-polished chess pieces are half the height of a person, thick enough to hold two people together, there are dozens of them scattered randomly in the corners.Three sides of the chessboard meet the sky and clouds, if you accidentally drop it, you will be smashed to pieces!The eyes moved from far to near to the stone table on the stage. There are nineteen lines arranged vertically and horizontally on the table, which is also a chessboard.

Withdrawing her gaze, Xi Xiu looked at Ye Zhenge, and found that the other party was also looking at him. They didn't want anything at the right time and place, so they could only believe in themselves and give it a go.

At this moment, Yao Xingzhu was already sitting in front of the table waiting, hooking his hands to the side, Qingyan opened the long box on the table, inside the box was a thick scroll, the yellow color showed the traces of time.Signaling Ye Zhenge to take his seat, Yao Xing took a sip of tea, and the moment the teacup fell back to the stone table, Qingyan jumped off the high platform first, and Xi Xiu stepped on the railing and flew to the opposite side, looking at him from afar.

The silver moon on the side of the neck is shining with the sun, and the golden knife on the waist is dazzling.

Contrary to the tense atmosphere off the stage, it was as if friends were meeting each other leisurely on stage.

Ye Zhenge suggested to look at the drawings, Yao Xingzhu graciously agreed, opened the scroll and told him to read it carefully, and then put it back in the long box safely: "Satisfied?"

Ye Zhenge smiled and said nothing, looked into the distance, and pinched a sunspot between his fingers.

The sound of falling son was like a sky-shattering gong, urging the two motionless figures.

The green inkstone was as fast as a phantom, and when Xi Xiu reached a third of the chessboard, it was already in front of him. With a "clang", sparks from the halberd and knife flew everywhere.Qing Yan knew that a head-on confrontation would be of no benefit to him, so the machete stuck to the body of the halberd and slashed at Xi Xiu's right arm.Xi Xiu had expected this move earlier, so she turned around to avoid it, bent her elbow and bumped into his right shoulder socket.Qing Yan hurriedly backed away Zhang Yuan, feeling a little horrified in his heart, he was half-testing at the beginning of the move, but he didn't want the opponent to make a move without reservation!

On the stone table, Baizi is unstoppable, and Heizi retreats and defends.

"You are very cautious, deliberately avoiding the place where there are stone chess pieces on the Zhenlong stage." Yao Xingzhu rubbed the chess pieces, looked at Ye Zhenge and smiled slightly, "How can you be afraid of the first and last, but how can you see the wonderful game of 'Heaven and Man'?"

After finishing speaking, Bai Zi leisurely falls to the star position in the left corner.

There was a loud "click", and the stone chess in the same position as the white piece began to rotate on the spot!Qing Yan lightly touched another stone chess piece with his toe, Xi Xiu didn't know why, just took a step, the sole of his foot suddenly stepped on the air, and his body fell sharply.

Ye Zhenge suddenly stood up, but was held down by Yao Xingzhu's shoulders who also stood up: "If you hadn't had the guts to challenge Zhenlongtai, I would have disdained this game. Since my interest has been aroused, why should you retreat before the battle!"

It turned out that those stone chess pieces were not for decoration, each one would trigger a formation. Ye Zhenge only heard about it but didn't know the details.On and off the stage, any victory will end the game, but the outcome in the audience may be life or death.

Xi Xiu's thoughts turned, and Yinyue stopped the falling trend across the hole. He lowered his head and saw that there was no bottom.

Seeing the disappearing figure come back into sight, Ye Zhenge relaxed his fists, sat down slowly, without looking at Yao Xingzhu, and concentrated on the chess game.

Xi Xiu had heard Ye Zhenge say that Zhenlong Terrace was very special, but now that he has experienced it himself, he still underestimated it. When playing chess, Ye Zhenge asked him to pay attention to his opponents. That was the intention...Xi Xiu and Qingyan are playing chess Move and chase, even if you fight to the ground, you can't use lightness kung fu and dare not be steadfast.

When Ying Ling plays fast chess, a cup of tea is enough to defeat his opponent. Although Ye Zhenge always leaves room for three points, he has known Ying Ling for many years, and he is familiar with the decisive style of chess.The more delays, the more unfavorable it is to Xi Xiu. Once he makes a decision, he will be merciless, and he will press hard to regain the lost ground, and the traps will be opened one by one with the densely packed chess pieces!

The stone chess pieces were turned one after another, and the Zhenlong stage was full of water and fire.

Qingyan knew that the movements of the powerful became slow, but Xixiu was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, but was calmer and fiercer than him. In addition, the halberd had a wider range of attacks and could hurt him even if he wasn't close.

However, when Xi Xiu gradually gained the upper hand, a sudden change happened!

I don't know who touched what mechanism, dozens of stone chess pieces suddenly spun rapidly and moved together!Both Xi Xiu and Qing Yan couldn't stand still and jumped off the stone chess, the unexpected situation happened again!Clumps of steel thorns protruded from the ground, one happened to penetrate the sole of Qingyan's foot, and at the same time a flame burst out from beside his feet.

Qingyan suddenly paused for some reason.

Taking advantage of the gap, Xi Xiu raised the halberd and stabbed straight. The blade of the halberd picked up Qing Yan's left shoulder and flew across the chessboard with the whole person, narrowly dodging the flames.Qing Yan's face darkened, and he buried the knife into Xi Xiu's arm, and Xi Xiu nailed him firmly to the wall under the high platform without frowning.

The outcome of another match has already been decided, and the formation stopped in an instant.

Xi Xiu withdrew his weapon, and Qing Yan's shoulder immediately burst into blood, but he didn't know it, and jumped onto the high platform expressionlessly.Ye Zhenge jumped down at the same time, saw Xi Xiu's wound, and hurriedly tore off the hem of his clothes and tied it tightly on his wound.

When I returned to the high platform, there was no one there.Looking at Ye Zhenge with a smile, Xi Xiu joyfully picked up the long box.

The two returned to the other courtyard, only to see Shen Chuxing shaking dice with his servants, shouting jargon and making gestures, the atmosphere was in full swing!

Xi Xiu really admired him wherever he went, where he gambled, and where he lost, he looked like a boy who spread money.

Neglecting to answer, Xi Xiu went straight into the house and opened the "trophy" to see what happened.From the beginning of the volume to the end of the volume, he was dazed for a long time, and regardless of Ye Zhenge applying medicine for himself, he raised his arms and said angrily, "Why is it blank!"

Ye Zhenge looked at it, sniffed it closer, and thought, "It's like Wuliao... the ink can only last for 24 hours. Because it is produced in the body of sea fish, it will leave a faint fishy smell after it dissipates."

Throwing away the scroll, Xi Xiu gritted her teeth and stared at the blank space.

Ye Zhenge bent down to pick it up, and said: "I forged the will, Yao Xingzhu will treat him in his own way, I have witnessed the blueprint with my own eyes, if I turn around and question it, he can deny it without proof. "

Xi Xiumo muttered in astonishment: "Then what is the martial arts competition at Zhenlongtai?"

Putting the picture scroll on the table, Ye Zhenge smiled lightly and shook his fan at Xi Xiu: "Unfortunately, things happen all the time, if you lose your composure, you will fall right into his arms."

Xi Xiu gasped and said, "How can you still laugh?"

"Don't laugh, are you crying?" Ye Zhenge lowered his eyebrows and made a grimace with his flat mouth.

Xi Xiu chuckled.

"Happy?" Ye Zhenge took him to the desk, took out a calligraphy and painting from a pile, and nodded, "There are more happy ones."

Xi Xiu recalled that some time ago, Ye Zhenge spent half a day wandering around and painting this painting, but he didn't see any tricks after looking around.

"This is the topographic map of Taihe City," Ye Zhenge said, pointing to the cross at the corner, "I found a secret road leading directly to the outside of the city on my first trip. Qingyan stopped me from going further, and I used this to test Yao Xingzhu's itinerary, Qingyan was willing to risk being punished to reveal it to me, so it can be seen that this secret is very important to him, and he even wants to hide it from his master."

Xi Xiu asked in surprise, "When did Shen Chuxing investigate?"

"It's the middle of the night, after everyone has fallen asleep." Ye Zhenge replied with a smile.

Xi Xiu thought that Shen Chuxing was doing nothing all day long, but he did a lot of movements behind his back. He touched the tip of his nose and said awkwardly: "I understand the origin of Ye Zi, but why did Qingyan hide it?"

"Qingyan was placed next to Yao Hezhi. Yao Xingzhu was able to turn the world around and turn the army. Qingyan has contributed a lot, so it is not difficult to guess that Yao Hezhi attaches great importance to Qingyan and will use it for him." Ye Zhenge slapped Xi Xiu with his fan Looking at him slightly, he said, "The heart and flesh are long, how can it be like a rock for thousands of years? A person who trusts himself is turned into a 'ghost' by himself. I am afraid that he will never be able to escape from Taihe City." This living grave."

Xi Xiu suddenly realized: "He wants to save Yao Hezhi!"

Ye Zhenge smiled gratifiedly, and continued: "Qing Yan accepts Ye Zi or intends to cooperate, or to lead the king into the urn. I am not sure which side his heart is inclined to. Until today's battle, you hurt him very badly, and your injury is considerable. Deep and shallow, he only used [-]% of his strength, and his goal was to lose but not to lose too ugly. Yao Xingzhu will not force the seriously injured to stay together, this is the only chance for Qing Yan to hide his eyes and ears to gain freedom. So Zhenlong's martial arts competition is not inseparable from your efforts Meaningless."

Xi Xiu went purely for the blueprints, but when he thought about it so far, he hesitated and said: "Is it impossible, the blueprints are real?"

"Yes, but even if the blueprint is true, the plan will not stop," Ye Zhenge said slowly, waving his fan and pacing around Xixiu, "Is there any way to turn back? Either don't do it, or do your best. "

Xi Xiu was the one who came up with the idea to gamble with Yao Xing on the blueprints. Ye Zhenge objected at first but was "coerced" by him. He thought he was involved, but he was always an "outsider" in the end.Thinking about it, Xi Xiu couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Ye Zhenge seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and stood back in front of the painting again, fanning from the circled place to another triangular symbol: "You should be familiar with this road from the other courtyard."

Xi Xiu has some vague memories...

"I took you through three times, remember that big house?"

"Ah! There are many guards around."

"Two days later is the succession ceremony of Yao Xingzhu, and tomorrow I will go out of the city to meet the Ye family." Ye Zhenge held Xi Xiu's hand and looked at him seriously, "Success or failure depends on one stroke, and only you can do this .”

Looking back at Ye Zhenge, the corners of Xi Xiu's mouth curved slightly, eyes sparkled, and she nodded emphatically.
