The moon and stars in the sky were covered by dark clouds, and no light could be seen.
There is an attic next to the water in the southwest corner. The attic is not big, but the scenery is beautiful and very pleasant.
There was a handsome man playing chess in front of the window, with a white jade pendant on his waist.
It’s like playing chess, but there is no opponent.
The black and white pieces on the chessboard were in a tense confrontation, and it was difficult to tell the winner.
Suddenly, a man pushed the door open and stood behind the man.
"Master, all those who went there have been annihilated."
"I see. Tell me the specific situation at the scene."
"It went smoothly at first, but then a team in black arrived from behind. Their combat power seemed to be even greater than that of the gold and silver armored guards. I'm guessing they weren't a successor to the previous dynasty, but were personally trained by Li Xuanyi."
The man picked up a black piece, held it in mid-air, thought for a moment, and then placed it on the chessboard.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it was unclear whether it was praise or ridicule.
"Li Xuanyi has trained a group of elite assassins just for him outside the palace. How arrogant!"
The visitor snorted, "He's acting like a bandit as an emperor."
"That's not true. At least he did a lot of good things for the people."
The visitor asked: "Are we going to send out assassins from now on?"
"Don't worry, I need to think carefully and set up this game."
The man tilted his head and asked, "By the way, have the people in the palace responded?"
"People in the palace say that the emperor is very strict and that anyone who can get close to the queen is Li Xuanyi's confidant. She has no chance of entering the queen's palace at all."
"What a hassle."
If you can't make the most crucial move, the game will become a dead end.
"How's Jiudi?"
"He's already dead. We sent someone to Guiyun Mountain urgently. I wonder if the old man can bring him back to life."
"How can it be so easy to bring the dead back to life? Death is not an irreversible disease."
If there really is a way to bring the dead back to life, he will definitely go looking for it even if it costs him his entire life.
"Who told him to stay with Li Xuanyi and not tell us about this? We thought he was dead and built a cenotaph for him."
"Hasn't he always been so free to do as he pleases? Let the old man give him a good send-off."
"yes."
"I remember he had a sister, so I arranged for someone to take care of the girl."
"clear."
The man suddenly thought of something, "Li Xuanyi loves that queen so much. If I kill the queen, will he suffer a fate worse than death?"
"Master, do you have any ideas? We will all follow you."
He glanced at the white chess pieces on the chessboard and remembered the woman's curved eyebrows and her farewell gesture that day.
"Forget it, let's just spare the life of that queen."
"yes."
