at the same time.
Beiliang Prince's Mansion, Tingchao Pavilion.
This pavilion was built by Xu Xiao, who was granted the title of vassal queen.
Towering into the clouds, extremely spectacular!
The pavilion contains tens of thousands of martial arts secrets and a large number of rare weapons, so it is also known as the arsenal that holds half of the world's martial arts secrets!
besides.
There are many masters with unique skills inside.
Most of these masters are martial arts idiots who willingly entered Tingchao Pavilion and worked for Beiliang in order to learn peerless martial arts.
therefore.
Tingchao Pavilion is also known as one of the three most dangerous places in Jianghu!
At this time, the attic is on the upper level.
An old man with deep lines on his face, white hair, and a long white beard was looking intently at the chessboard on the table.
Even though the black chess piece he was holding was surrounded by white chess pieces and was in danger, his expression remained extremely calm and he seemed very relaxed.
And this old man was surprisingly one of the first strategists to join Xu Xiao's tent, and he was known as the Yincai poisonous warrior, Li Yishan!
Think for a moment.
His eyes stayed on a gap, and then he placed the black chess firmly down without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the overall situation has been decided, so there is no need to go on any further, right?"
Hear this.
The middle-aged man sitting opposite the old man was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes and his brows furrowed.
He looked at the chessboard in disbelief. He never imagined that he had forced the opponent to almost no way out, but in the end he still lost one of his pieces.
For the first time, I was completely sure that I had no chance of making a comeback.
Xu Xiao then waved his hand and said.
"No, no, this round doesn't count! Let's play another round!"
As he said that, he hurriedly disrupted the chessboard again, looking a little funny.
See this scene.
Li Yishan couldn't help but shook his head, which was also a bit funny.
He did not expect that the king of Beiliang, who had single-handedly wiped out the six kingdoms and shocked the entire world, would be such a rogue.
Xu Xiao has always been like this when playing chess.
In the hands of this extremely domineering King of Northern Liang, even Li Yishan, a poisonous man who is well versed in chess, would find it difficult to win a game.
after all.
Whenever a chess game was about to end, he would always regret it or simply disrupt it and ask for a restart.
Li Yishan has long been accustomed to this.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the King of Zhenbei has already set off and will arrive in Lingzhou in a few days."
Hear this.
Xu Xiao was silent for a moment, and his expression gradually became helpless.
He knew very well that the Liyang royal family was now secretly supporting King Zhenbei, making his power stronger and stronger.
They will definitely attack the Xu family soon!
That's why.
He had no choice but to ask Xu Weixiong to break off his engagement with Gu Qingfeng as soon as possible, so that he could find a powerful family and marry them before the Liyang royal family made any move, thereby shocking the royal family.
In a few days, King Zhenbei will arrive in Lingzhou and pay a visit.
But rather than visiting, it is better to say that I came to demonstrate to them!
Just imagine, all the people in Beiliang City watched the King of Zhenbei holding the imperial decree and leading his army to arrive at Beiliang City. It was so majestic and powerful, what a sight?
Doesn’t this mean that Beiliang is about to change hands? !
Although Xu Xiao did have 300,000 cavalry under his command, they could completely stop King Zhenbei from entering the city.
But be aware.
The other party came with a handwriting from the Liyang royal family!
If we take action against them, it will mean that the Xu family rebels and declares war with the entire Liyang Dynasty!
If he had been forced into such a desperate situation earlier, perhaps he would have chosen to lead an army of 300,000 cavalry to war without hesitation.
It's a pity that he is old at this time and has no intention of fighting.
In addition, Xu Fengnian has not grown up yet, so he is even less likely to take this risk.
certainly.
The most important thing is that he understands the principle of suffering for the people who prosper and suffering for the people who die.
Back then, he rode across the rivers and lakes, sacrificed countless brothers, and finally unified the world, in exchange for peace in the world today.
If war breaks out again at this time, the blood of those soldiers will be in vain!
How could Xu Xiao bear to live up to the peace in the world that he had preserved with his life? !
That's why.
Only then did he choose to marry into a noble family to avoid another war.
but.
Xu Xiao also knew that King Zhenbei's trip was not only to demonstrate, but also to destroy the marriage between the Xu family and the Ouyang family!
After all, once they get married, the Xu family's power will inevitably expand again.
The King of Zhenbei was very ambitious and impeached him many times in the court. He had long wanted to replace the King of Beiliang!
This is the best time for him to occupy Beiliang. Naturally, he will not let the Xu family and the Ouyang family complete the marriage.
But if they attack him at this time, the Liyang royal family will have enough reasons to weaken the Xu family's power.
And this is Xu Xiao's biggest headache right now.
at this time.
Li Yishan suddenly asked again.
"Your Majesty, the second princess should have broken off her engagement with Gu Qingfeng, right?"
After all, Gu Qingfeng's father was a great contributor to Xu Xiao's command.
Li Yishan was afraid that he would use this as an excuse to refuse to break off the engagement.
"They have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Xu Xiao nodded, the look of helplessness on his face becoming more and more obvious.
He looked at the bright moon in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just a pain for the kid Qingfeng..."
"His father has followed me since the beginning of my expedition to destroy the six kingdoms and bring peace to the world. He defended me from enemy attacks many times, leaving many injuries and wounds on his body."
"He has never asked me for anything in his life. Even before he died, he just wanted me to betroth the Weixiong to his son in order to seek protection."
"But now for the sake of the Xu family, I ruthlessly destroyed this engagement..."
Unknowingly, there was a trace of tears in the eyes of this man who led 600 soldiers to make a fortune, killed the Xiongnu in the northeast, annihilated six kingdoms in the south, slaughtered more than 70 cities, and suppressed the massacre of the entire river and lake!
Xu Xiao's helplessness could be seen.
Li Yishan explained slowly.
"This guy has been practicing for so many years and is still at the ninth level. With such a talent, he may not be able to achieve anything in the future."
"Before this, I have deduced the horoscope. In the future, he will encounter a lot of troubles, cause death, and even implicate the entire Northern Liang Palace!"
"It shows that breaking off the engagement is not a bad thing!"
After a pause, he stroked his white beard again and said thoughtfully.
"In my opinion, although Ouyang Haomiao is a bit dissolute by nature, he has been promoted to the second level at a young age. It is said that he is only one step away from the first level. The second princess is a good match for him."
"In addition to being more handsome, Gu Qingfeng has no advantage over the other party, so just give it up!"
After listening to Li Yishan’s analysis.
Xu Xiao also nodded, acquiescing to his point of view.
For him, saving the Xu family is the most important thing at the moment.
As for what will happen to Gu Qingfeng and whether he can become a great person, it is no longer his concern.
"I hope my move... won't go wrong!"
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Xiao picked up a white chess piece, his eyes became extremely determined, and finally put it on the chessboard without hesitation.
