In these days when Lin radial was unconscious, Yao Shu, in accordance with Xie Qian's instructions, pretended not to know the whereabouts of Lin radial. Even Yao Chao did not tell her.

It's just that, whether she goes out to talk business or has a rest at home on weekdays, her shining peach blossom eyes are always full of silence and worry, which are not as bright as before.

The family saw that something was wrong with her. Even the people in the restaurant and the two shops saw something wrong.

Until the victory of the northwest army, the emperor's newly appointed general Weiyuan was absent at the celebration banquet.

Until the last group of officers and men all returned home, did not see the shadow of Lin radial.

Only then did the Yao family know what had happened to Lin radial.

Yao Shu was very calm, as if he had known the result for a long time. As usual, he went to the cloth shop to settle accounts, went to the clothing shop to see the style, and occasionally discussed with the restaurant cook about the new dishes.

People are anxious, but they have nothing to do.

Everyone thinks that her calmness is just an escape from the reality and will wake up one day -

Meng Qing, who has been paying close attention to Yao Shu's trend, is no exception.

……

The dark guard, dressed in black, knelt down in front of Meng Qing and said respectfully, "master, the person who searched for the whereabouts of Lin radial in the northwest army has not withdrawn. Now it has been nearly two months, and nothing has been found."

Meng Qing is sitting in front of the desk with a bold face. The letters from the northwest spread out. There are few words on it. It makes Meng Qing frown.

He asked the person in front of him in a deep voice: "where is Jiang Ning? What was his reaction? Now that the war in the Northwest has stopped, he will not return to Korea. What will he do in the northwest? If we don't find Lin radial, he won't come back? "

Dark Wei replied: "although Jiang Ning did not personally search for Lin radial's whereabouts, he sent people to report the latest news to him every day. The next time is to train and deploy troops in the northwest barracks. "

Meng Qing sneered: "so cherish the Weiyuan general in your hand? In that case, why let people go deep into the enemy camp that day? Now Xie Qian and Jiang Ning work together to hide Lin's disappearance, but which one is not a human spirit? The only one who can hide is the stupid Emperor on the Dragon chair. "

When he was not supposed to speak by himself, dark Wei knelt on the ground as if he were a lifeless stake and said nothing.

These secret guards were the only thing left by the first prince to Meng Qing. Even the emperor did not know their existence, and they were only loyal to Meng Qing.

Many things that Meng Qing was inconvenient to do were handed over to them, such as iron mining in the suburbs of Beijing.

These people usually, in addition to protecting his safety, are his ears, eyes and sources of information.

Meng Qing lowered his voice and asked, "what's the matter with iron ore now?"

"Yao Chao copied Li Wenshi's home this morning," he said

Meng Qing's face changed and he said angrily, "why don't you reply early? Li Wenshi is my last move in the court. How can I say I copied it? Yao Chao has found the evidence! "

Mining iron ore without permission is a big crime of killing the family.

Meng Qing is cautious in nature, and he also hides Li Wenshi's background under the original layout.

It was Yao chaoshunteng who could only find out Li Wenshi in the end. He could not go any further.

But without Li Wenshi, he is equivalent to a broken arm, or the most convenient right arm.

How can Mengqing not be angry?

In the face of the master's anger, the dark guard didn't change his face. He only replied: "Yao Chao entered the palace early this morning to have a secret talk with the emperor about the time of tea. When he came out, he took a team of imperial guards and went straight to Li's house. He surrounded the Li's house. The Li Wenshi family are now locked up in the prison. "

Meng Qing clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.

If Yao Chao had not mastered all the evidence, he would not have done so cleanly.

It's just that if you hide this last step well, you should not be so quick.

After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly loosened his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "if that's the case, Li Wenshi will abandon it."

The dark guard had no words.

Meng Qing's voice was low and he added, "I will send Mr. Li on the road tonight."

The dark guard answers, sees Meng Qing waving, then retreats.

After others left, the study fell into silence again.

Meng Qing's clenched fists didn't know how long before they suddenly released, and their cruel expression gradually relaxed.

He looked pale, put his sweaty palms on his knees and whispered to himself, "as long as Lin radial is dead, as long as the evidence of Northwest China is not presented to the imperial court Everything is going to turn around. "

What if all the arms of the previous dynasty were broken? After so many years of planning, he can naturally continue to hibernate and plan again.

It's just that Xie Qian, who has more money in the court, is not easy to deal with. He is the most shrewd old fox in the court. He should be more careful.

Meng Qing clenched his teeth and hated Xie Qian deeply. Now he is in the palace, playing chess with the emperor.The bed in the hall was covered with thick cushions and a table was set with a chessboard for the two to play chess on.

The emperor was uninhibited. He took off his dragon boots and sat cross legged on the left side of the small table with a sunspot in his hand. On the other side, Xie Qian was sitting in a dangerous position with a black imperial uniform. The white jade chess pieces between the jade white slender fingers made his skin look more white.

The emperor left a few sons and said with a smile, "how did Aiqing start to let me? It's not your style of playing chess

Xie Qian slowly put the pieces in his hands on the chessboard and said in a low voice: "I did not let your majesty, your Majesty's chess skills have improved."

Since his accession to the throne, the emperor had little time to play chess, and no one had ever played chess with him.

It was not until Xie Qian entered the court that he played chess with Xie Qian from time to time, but the latter often did not come for an excuse, or had to leave after only two sets.

The emperor muttered, "if it wasn't for Xie Qing's refusal to practice with me, I would have surpassed you in chess."

As if he had thought of something, Xie Qian moved his sight away from the chessboard, put it on the emperor's face, and gently nodded his head: "the emperor's chess skills in the past were really beyond his right."

The emperor was slightly stunned, and felt that Xie Qian's smile was wrong.

He carelessly dropped a son, wait for the black son to fall steadily on the chessboard, the Emperor just read a bad word in his heart.

The man lowered his head, the corner of his mouth suddenly raised his head, and then raised his head and said, "Your Majesty regrets a son."

Such mistakes and omissions can never appear in the hands of the emperor. I just don't know what he was just thinking about. He actually made such a bad move.

If you don't remind him, the emperor will be angry when he finds out later.

Originally good, why did he break his mood?

Xie Qian's room was full of good intentions to let the emperor, but the emperor was shocked by the sudden rise and disappearance of his smile. The sunspot on his fingertips could not help but grasp the palm of his hand, sweating for a while.

The emperor looked into Xie Qian's eyes and said nothing.

Xie Qian looked back calmly, as if waiting for the emperor to repent.

Where does the emperor remember to play chess?

When they were young, they played chess together in the imperial study -

at that time, his chess skill was much better than Xie Qian's. whenever Xie Qian made a mistake, he would remind him with a smile and promise him to repent.

Now they have become a king and a minister, and Xie Qian's appearance also seems to be a piece of hard to melt ice, no longer as warm as before.

But the warm color flowing occasionally under the cold stars suddenly woke the emperor up.

Then he remembered what Xie Qian had just said. Knowing that he was waiting for him, he said, "since I have lost my son, I will never repent."

The emperor's voice was a little dumb, but Xie Qian didn't recognize it, but the Emperor himself was very clear and even surprised.

However, Xie Qian actually showed a smile. Although the smile was very short, it could disturb the emperor's heart even more by touching the corners of his mouth.

He said in a low voice, "it's better to obey orders than to be respectful."

Yu Bai's finger drops a white piece, and the attack of the sunspot at the top of the chessboard is cut off in an instant. The black dragon, which should have been swallowing, seems to have swam into the shoal and is unable to move forward.

The emperor then bowed his head to see the chess game. He made a mistake and now he has lost.

But what if you lose? The emperor laughed and then pressed a sunspot on the edge of the black dragon, as if he had made up his mind to give up the mountains and rivers in the chess game.
