Chapter 1866 [Shangxie] The World as a Chess Game
She raised an eyebrow in question, motioning for him to speak.
The old man smiled drunkenly, his eyes were bright beneath his messy hair.
"I see you can hold your liquor pretty well, and we're meant to be together. Since we're all over the world anyway, why don't you be my drinking buddy? That way you can have some company when you drink, what do you think?"
The wind blew the light snow across the tavern, casting dim shadows on the ground.
Her profile was buried in the shadows, and she nodded coldly and indifferently.

At the same time the girl nodded, thousands of miles away on Piaomiao Mountain, a man in a gorgeous brocade robe had just received a letter from the capital of Chiwei Kingdom.
[The Crown Prince is about to return, and the will will be established. Return quickly.]
The man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a cold and indifferent arc that made people feel cold.
He rolled up the letter and passed it over the fire. The flames rolled up and burned the words to ashes in an instant.
The man stood up and walked towards the door, his robe rustling in the wind. Outside the bluestone hall, waiting for him was a crowd of secret guards.
They are on the top of a mountain far away from the temple, but they are always ready to rush to the most powerful imperial battlefield on this continent.
The map extended rapidly from south to north, jumped off Piaomiao Mountain, passed Feihua City, crossed countless large and small territories and cities, and stopped outside the border town called Yangui within the territory of Chiwei Country.
There was a young man in a green shirt with a sword at his waist, leading his horse and walking towards the city in a leisurely manner.
He yawned, and took a sip of wine from the wine gourd. As the wine went down his throat, the soles of his black boots just stepped over the city gate.
The wind suddenly blew, and at the city gate where leaves were flying, a group of men in black clothes and brocade ribbons suddenly half-knelt silently.
The young man's hand holding the wine jug paused slightly, and a low and respectful honorific sounded in his ears.
"Your Highness."
"The emperor is ill and has sent us to escort His Highness back to the palace."
The outline of the city was faintly visible in the falling night. The young man put away the wine jug and slowly sighed.
The breath was long, regretful, helpless and slightly irritable.
But after taking a breath, when he raised his eyes again, all the unrestrained and casual chivalrous spirit was gone. The dignity and deterrence of being second only to the emperor and above everyone else seemed to have seeped into their bones, causing the royal shadow guards to involuntarily lower their heads even deeper to express their submission.
The boy looked up and behind him. The road he came on was overgrown with weeds, winding and irregular, just like the freedom and unrestrainedness he had experienced along the way. It would probably be the most precious memory of his life, and he didn't know if he would have the chance to experience it again in the future.
He withdrew his gaze, said lightly, "Let's go," and got on his horse.
The horse's hooves kicked up a cloud of dust as the whip rose and fell. The slender and noble outline of the young man on the horse gradually blended into the night and could not be seen clearly. Only the direction the horse's hooves were heading was very clear even in the night.
That is the direction of the capital of Chiwei Kingdom, Shenjing.

Same time, different place.
The gears of fate finally started turning when no one knew about it. It creaked and shook off the dust, arranging the important people in their proper positions, just waiting to push them out one by one when the show started, so that one wonderful encounter or reunion after another could be staged on the stage, an unexpected affection, or a premeditated ruthlessness.
If the world is a chessboard, then every move of some chess pieces may change the direction of the entire game.
Sometimes you can create a prosperous dynasty, and sometimes you can create chaos.
Everyone in the world is in the game, and no one can escape.
