"Let me tell you a story." Gu Qing whispered to Li Xiang: "A weasel erected a monument on the cliff of the chicken farm, which read: "If you get rid of the shackles and don't jump bravely, how do you know if you are an eagle?" So, it waits under the cliff every day to eat the chicken that fell to death."

Li Xiang listened and couldn't help but slow down.

Then, when Gu Qing walked forward, he saw Fang Xuanling and Li Erzheng sitting together on the stone table in the village playing chess and chess. He stepped forward and greeted, "Father-in-law, teacher, are you playing chess."

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, thought about it and then looked at Li Er's nervous expression and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has won again!"

Li Er cleaned up the chessboard with a dark face, "It's really strange. I won a lot of games with me at the beginning, but now I haven't beat you for several days," he said.

"It's just that recently I've improved my chess skills again." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Gu Qing looked at Li Er's face and thought to himself that when you were the emperor, who dared to win your chess? Now you are no longer the emperor.

"I have met Grandpa the Emperor and Old Fang." Li Xiang saluted respectfully.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Xiang kindly and said, "How have you been in your studies recently?"

"I have been delayed recently and I want to do business with Brother Gu Xiao." Li Xiang did not hide it, and replied with awkward scratching the back of her head.

"Come on, I'll give you a few books." Fang Xuanling took Li Xiang away.

Li Er looked at Gu Qing and said, "Sit down and play chess with me."

"Okay, I'm idle too." Gu Qing sat down and started playing chess with Li Er.

After a few hours, Li Er's face became more gloomy in five consecutive chess games.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Sorry, I won again!"

"Come again!" Li Er packed up the chessboard and said.

Fan Jian stood sorely, and he sat aside watching the old and young playing chess. Thinking that it was almost dusk, he stepped forward to say something to Gu Qing and told him that it was getting late, but Wang Qin stopped him.

Fan Jian looked at the old eunuch and said, "It's getting late for Eunuch Wang."

Wang Qin whispered, "Don't be anxious. Look, Your Majesty and Mr. Gu are having fun at this time, can't you disturb me."

"But it's getting late and neither Your Majesty nor Gu Hou has eaten yet." Fan Jian said again.

Wang Qin immediately came to recruit some servants in the distance with pastries.

"It turns out that Eunuch Wang has been prepared for a long time." Fan Jian nodded and said.

"We are all servants, and sometimes we have to prepare some things in advance." Wang Qin made an invitation gesture and said, "The chess game between Your Majesty and the Marquis will not end for a while. Can you talk with me?"

Fan Jian looked back at Gu Qing and followed Wang Qin to the riverside outside Li Erxing's house.

"Eunuch Wang has something to say."

"Then the old slave said it straight." Wang Qin looked at Fan Jian and asked, "I am the shadow of Your Majesty, and you are also the shadow of Gu Qing. We are the same kind of people. I know some things well. I just want to ask how much Gu Qing wants to do the Jiangnan thing this time."

"What does Eunuch Wang mean?"

Wang Qin said again: "Some things cannot be caused by a big fight, don't pretend to be confused. I know that the Xiao family gave Mr. Gu Hou a list. It can be imagined that Mr. Gu Hou was in a good mood when he saw the list."

After hearing the other party say this, Fan Jian also understood in his heart that Wang Qin knew a lot and said, "The head of the family has not handed over the list yet. As for how the main family is doing things, it is not something I can ask about."

"You are right. In fact, Your Majesty also has one in that list. Don't think that only you can see some things. Many things in Jiangnan cannot be solved overnight. Now Your Majesty has abdicated and cannot interfere in the matter. Of course, the lesions in Jiangnan must be removed, but this matter cannot be compared with the five surnames of the past. There is a royal family above the five surnames, and Jiangnan is too far from Chang'an. People are terrifying. What the royal family wants is the hearts of the people."

"Eunuch Wang, the head of the family has not handed over the list yet. If the head of the family really wants to hand over it, I can't say anything as a servant. Just like you said, we are all servants, we will do what the master has done, right?"

"Yes." Wang Qin nodded and said.

Fan Jian turned around and looked at Li Er and Gu Qing who were playing chess, and whispered: "I don't know how long this game will take to play."

Li Er stared at the chessboard, and was unable to make a move. He looked proud and wanted to go up, so he beat the kid up. Then he took back the chess piece in his hand and said, "Gu Qing, do you need to be so happy to win a few chess games?"

"It is naturally a pity to win one or two sets, but I won from the beginning to the end, but Your Majesty has never won a single set." Gu Qing said freely.

Li Er didn't expect that Gu Qing's chess path would be so weird and said, "Gu Qing, I have never played chess with you before. You can tell what kind of person he is by just watching a person's chess path. I see your chess path being steady in the first game and then jumping out in the next game. I feel like I have changed an opponent in every game."

"That's because I've read it a lot, so I will naturally learn it." Gu Qing packed up the chessboard and said, "I just think that His Majesty gave up."

"Who did you learn your chess skills from? Fang Xuanling? I know what kind of old men Cheng Yaojin are." Li Er said again: "But your chess skills are very different from Fang Xuanling."

"As the saying goes, have you never eaten pork and have you seen pigs running? Actually, I can't play chess, and I'll see you too much. When I was a child, I was sent to various training classes. My parents hoped that my children would become successful, but my understanding was not so high. Most of the time, I memorized by rote and used the stupidest method."

"Your parents? I seem to have never heard you talk about your parents." Li Er asked in a low voice.

Gu Qing smiled bitterly, "I'm going to hide it from Your Majesty. Actually, there are many chess masters in my hometown. Maybe they will thank Your Majesty even when they see Your Majesty."

"What do you mean?" Li Er asked.

"It's getting late, and I'm going home too. I'll have a few more moves with Your Majesty the next day." Gu Qing said.

Li Er looked solemn as Gu Qing left, and returned to the chessboard and started to make a move again. He would replay the chess game he played with Gu Qing. Gu Qing's chess skills are not like he played chess with others on weekdays. Gu Qing's chess has many variables. The chess path is strange and makes people a little confused, but the results are very fast. Just as Gu Qing said that he can't play chess. He just imitates other people's chess game. As long as the chess path is not destroyed, he can win steadily. How many chess paths are there in Gu Qing's hands?

Fan Jian followed Gu Qing's footsteps and said, "Head of the family, Wang Qin asked about the list of Jiangnan."
