C506 506 Heart Piercing

Mo Rong Tian looked at the battle in front of him, put the white piece in his hand to the side, withdrew his absent-minded look, and said to Liu Qian Xun: "Master's chess skills are really profound, I am ashamed of myself."

Liu Qian Xun's gaze slowly rose, glanced at him, and said meaningfully: "Playing chess is like fighting a war, not only do you have to complete a watertight arrangement, you also have to choose the right chess piece, and when you fall, you have to be precise, and do not hesitate or be merciful at all."

Mo Rong Tian's face stiffened for a moment, then, nodded and said: "Disciple understands."

During the days of Yan Yuan's expedition, Liu Ruo Qing would frequently bring young son to the Jin Du Inn to find Liu Qian Xun. The old man was practically staying in the courtyard to read, play chess and write.

On the other hand, Mo Rong Tian frequently went out, and sometimes when Liu Ruo Qing came over, he would not be able to see him.

"I heard that His Highness has led the troops to war?"

Liu Qian Xun asked Liu Ruo Qing as he put down his brush on the last piece of the painting.

"En, yes, there was chaos in the northwest. Yan Yuan led the troops and suppressed it."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded and replied.

"How's the battle over there?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I haven't heard from Yan Yuan in the past few days."

Mentioning Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing seemed to be in a rather bad mood, his mood also dropping a bit, she did not know how the battle was progressing.

Seeing her expression, Liu Qian Xun comforted her: "You don't have to worry, with your ability, I can easily take care of this small disturbance."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded, she did not want Liu Qian Xun to worry about her, so she did not continue the topic.

His gaze touched the painting in front of him and said, "Master's painting technique is getting more and more refined. When my son grows up, I'll leave it to you to nurture him."

"Humph!" "Forget it, I've already taught you to be so ignorant. If I were to teach your son to be like you again, wouldn't your master bring troops to kill me?"

"Although I can't say everything Master said, I've learned a lot of good things. How could I say that I don't know how to do it?"

Just then, Mo Rong Tian came back from the outside. Seeing that Liu Ruo Qing was there, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and walked over.

"Senior Sister is here too?"

"What, you don't welcome me?"

Liu Ruo Qing raised her eyebrows. Mo Rong Tian's martial arts was much higher than hers, to be able to make him call her senior sister, that kind of pride immediately arose in his heart.

Seeing Mo Rong Tian staring blankly at the map in front of Liu Qian Xun, without a doubt, said: "You also have your eyes on Master's painting? Let me tell you, Master is a master of both poetry and painting. If you want to learn painting, you have to hurry up and flatter Master. "

Hearing this, Mo Rong Tian suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing the smile on Liu Ruo Qing's face, he also laughed, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your advice."

Liu Ruo Qing raised her eyebrows, "Since you called me Senior Sister, you should at least give me a cup of tea, right?"

Hearing her request, Mo Rong Tian did not mind, he only laughed, and bowed to her, then said: "Yes, senior sister."

Just as Mo Rong Tian was about to turn around to pour some tea, he saw Liu Qian Xun roll up the book in front of him and heavily knock on Liu Ruo Qing's head, "They call you senior sister, and you have to take things a step further."

Liu Ruo Qing rubbed her head, looking at Liu Qian Xun with dissatisfaction, she complained: "Master, you're too biased, taking in a new disciple is not good for me."

Liu Qian Xun was about to speak, but he was preempted by Mo Rong Tian. He had already poured Liu Ruo Qing a cup of tea, and smiled faintly: "Senior Sister is right, I should make Senior Sister some tea."

He brought the tea in front of Liu Ruo Qing, bent down slightly, and said: "Senior sister, please have some tea."

"Good girl!"

Liu Ruo Qing unceremoniously received the cup of tea from Mo Rong Tian and finished it in one breath, then patted her shoulder.

Mo Rong Tian's face froze, his gaze landed on the hand on his shoulder, and felt his heart ache.

After Liu Ruo Qing left, Mo Rong Tian withdrew his gaze from the outside and walked back to Liu Qian Xun, and looked at the map that Liu Qian Xun had drawn on the table, his brows knitted together.

"Master's painting, was it okay if Ruo Qing saw it?"

Liu Qian Xun casually kept the map in front of him, and then placed it to the side, as though he did not want to hide it.

"Don't worry, let alone being seen by that girl, even if she were to take the map and place it in front of Yan Yuan, Yan Yuan might not even be able to see through it."

After that, he cast his gaze back at Mo Rong Tian. He looked at him meaningfully and said: "You don't need to feel sorry for that girl Qing Er, as a person who has done great things, you should not bother about small matters."

The expression in Mo Rong Tian's eyes was somewhat obscure. After hesitating for a moment, she said. "Master is not worried. One day, when Ruo Qing finds out your true identity, will she hate you?"

His question caused Liu Qian Xun to fall into silence, and for a moment, he couldn't answer it.

Seeing him not saying a word, Mo Rong Tian continued: "Ruo Qing was raised by Master, disciple knows that you won't have no feelings for her, do you really want her to hate you one day?"

"No need to say anymore."

Liu Qian Xun interrupted Mo Rong Tian with a cold expression, "In this world, one must be lenient if they want to gain anything. Master knows what she's doing, and you must also recognize what you have to do to not let those unnecessary emotions get in the way of your plans."

Liu Qian Xun knew what Mo Rong Tian was thinking, and he didn't beat around the bush and directly told her what Mo Rong Tian was thinking.

Mo Rong Tian's expression became a little more obvious, but he could understand Liu Qian Xun's thoughts, and he did not refute him. He only revealed a bitter smile, "Master, don't worry, disciple understands what I want. Moreover, Ruo Qing's thoughts are all on Yan Yuan, so what can I do?"

As the descendant of the previous dynasty's crown prince and the young master of the Shen Ji Hall, his fate had been decided from the moment he was born.

If he could not continue fighting head-on, he could only wait for death and surrender in front of the Yan Clan members.

As soon as Liu Ruo Qing returned to the Duke Palace, she was summoned to the palace by the Kaiser, saying that it was related to Yan Yuan.

Upon hearing that it was related to Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing was elated and rushed back to the palace.

Imperial study –

"Your majesty, I heard news of Yan Yuan. Did he win in battle?"

Once they entered the royal study, Liu Ruo Qing did not even have the time to bow before Yan Shuo as she quickly rushed in front of him and asked anxiously.

Yan Shuo closed the report he had received from the Northwest. He stood up from the desk and slowly walked to Liu Ruo Qing, "Yes, I did win the battle."
