"Based on what you just said, what else can contain Tianshan grass?"
Zhao Xin really wanted to know, and then showed an expression of curiosity.
Even if His Majesty tells you, you probably won't be able to find it. This box, though it's unknown, has been missing since the He family arrived, and even now, there's no trace of it.
"It's better to give me a definite answer than to say so much. What's your name?"
"Mystic Box."
?
Wasn’t this mysterious box sent from the House of Evil? Could it be that they don’t know what the box is?
I just thought it was just a box that looked a little bit fancy on the outside...
That's really tragic.
"If I find that basalt box for you, then you won't need the thousand-year-old cold iron anymore, right?"
Su Lie was silent for a moment.
It is said that this Tianshan grass can grow on thousand-year-old cold iron.
But just like this cold iron is a treasure in his family, he has to look for it. He must take it back from the Feng family no matter what, even at any cost.
Because, if my father wakes up and finds that his treasure has been stolen by the thieves, he will fall into a deep sleep again. Su Lie already knows his temper very well.
Or is his father's illness more important?
From what Su Lie said, it was so strange that I didn't know what disease he had, and he had to use such rare medicinal herbs to cure him.
"Is there no other way?"
Su Lie pressed his forehead, his expression darkening as if unnaturally. His head felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Then he shook it gently, and uttered his last words with a sigh.
"If Your Majesty really has a recipe, there's no need to keep staring at the grass on Tianshan Mountain."
Offending the Feng family and then offending the group of old men on Tianshan Mountain is equivalent to offending all the ten great families.
Although the war and conflict would still affect them, it was better to avoid trouble than to gather troops quickly. It would be better to avoid intrigue with them. I could also benefit from it.
But if you really start a fight, the price you pay is not directed at one family, but at two or more ethnic groups.
I heard that those elders are all veterans of the major families. It would be difficult to deal with them if they were offended.
Large families like this used to place great emphasis on personal reputation and family honor. Even abandoned or illegitimate children who were brought back into the family had a chance to take the position of head of the family, depending on whether the head of the family was willing to cultivate them.
It's also an honor.
"So you're indirectly telling me not to provoke their tribes?"
Zhao Xin coughed and continued.
"In that case, let me show you something."
As he said this, he took out the mysterious box.
So… why did the emperor inexplicably take out the box that the elders had given him earlier? He then raised his hand and touched the emerald on top of the box, and wondered.
"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this? What is the point of this box? Are you using it to warn the elders? Hurry and deliver the snow lotus to my Great Qin?"
"Can you at least use your brain? This is a fucking mysterious box."
Zhao Xin felt that he had expressed himself clearly enough, but why did Su Lie pretend to understand like a blockhead? He looked like a serious person, so why did he speak so incoherently?
"Your Majesty, this thing was brought back from Tianshan Mountain by Su Xi and I. There should be a limit to lying, Your Majesty."
Su Lie is not stupid.
Zhao Xin took a deep breath. This guy was really a blockhead. Zhao Xin wanted to pick up the jade chessboard on the table and smash it hard on his head.
"Play a best-of-three game of chess with me. If you finish these three games, I will explain to you the origins of the box on the table."
Su Lie was impressed by Zhao Xin's words. Zhengtong sat beside him, looking at the unfinished chess pieces on the board, then picked them up and moved them awkwardly.
Finally, he nodded with understanding.
Zhao Xin thought he had done it before.
Su Lie felt that this thing was obviously unfamiliar to him, as if he had never downloaded it before. Besides, he was just trying to fool the emperor, so he could fool people.
As the chessboard moved, Zhao Xin felt an ambiguous guess in his heart.
The pieces on the chessboard were placed according to his thoughts, changing from day to night. And the reason he played so smoothly and effortlessly now was because of the guidance in his mind, as if someone was controlling his hand, as he played each move.
This feeling is very strange. I didn’t have this feeling when I played chess with Zhang Liang, Liu Bei and others just now.
Could it be the effect of the solitude of the two playing chess?
The back-and-forth chess moves inadvertently attracted Xiao He, who was passing by the palace gate.
They played chess, and he wisely kept silent. After all, interrupting someone while they played chess was a serious taboo. So he just watched them play chess, and Xiao He sat beside them, nodding from time to time.
Then, his eyes became stern.
Su Lie's chess playing seems disorganized, but every move he makes is on point.
But Zhao Xin played chess, so it was just a mess, but there was probably a pattern to it, but he couldn't guess it.
This strategy crushed Su Lie's chess pieces, and now Xiao He acted as the referee to report the win or loss.
After winning this game, Su Lie felt a little dissatisfied when he saw the chess pieces being taken away.
"How come you, an official, only accept my pawns and not his majesty's? Could it be that you and he are in collusion?"
"That's not the case, but you really lost this chess game."
The ending is that your chess piece will be surrounded in the middle and you will lose. Looking at this move again, it is not only blocked but also has no chance to escape.
The last few of them are a stroke of genius, completely abandoning Su Lie's route.
Just now, when he met Zhuge Liang, he said that His Majesty's chess playing was not as good as the rumors said. But in his opinion, this chess player was even slightly better than his.
Could it be that this Zhuge Liang was also a famous general who could play chess? Those who could comprehend such a strange art were usually at the Mahayana stage.
"Your Majesty has won after three games. It's a shame, little brother."
"It's okay, I just want to know where I lost in these three moves. I'm not very good at Go, so I can't really figure it out, so I need your guidance."
Although Xiao He looked shocked, he did not show it.
Nowadays, even those who can't play chess have such great skills, and he, who is a terrible chess player, is really... The younger generation pushes the older generation forward. These young people now have an advantage over the older generation.
"Come, little brother, look at this wrong place. Moving at this point will make him think of blocking you, and His Majesty is thinking exactly the same thing right now. If you make the next move from here, His Majesty will overtake him from behind. If you are blocked, the whole game will be over."
"I think you've already discovered its drawbacks. However, as to why you were given two chances, that's probably due to your Majesty's personal reasons."
"A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word, so I didn't remind you, little brother. Be careful next time."
After the explanation, he seemed to understand a little.
