The Generalissimo's Mansion.
Wen Lianmu no longer plays chess pieces. Sitting cross-legged in front of the chess table, looking out the window.
He didn't want to admit that the outcome of his chess game had been decided, but he had to face it.
Looking back, Wang Yiwu, who was sitting opposite him, was still practicing with his eyes closed. Under the calmness, the undercurrent of military evil and blood energy made him sigh more than once.
In terms of his cultivation talent alone, Wang Yiwu was indeed the most terrifying person he had ever encountered. Moreover, he possesses abnormal self-discipline and hard work, and is never satisfied with his strength.
Sometimes Wen Lianmu had to admire him. He knew very well how much Wang Yiwu valued the matter that Zhongxuanzun had told him. If nothing else, just "capture" him from the army would cost a lot of favors.
However, faced with the sudden deterioration of the situation, even he was upset, but Wang Yiwu was still completing his daily practice calmly.
Looking down at the big dragon on the chessboard where the white piece was about to be slaughtered, he suddenly wanted to reach out and mess up the chess piece, but with his wisdom, of course he understood that this was meaningless.
How did this game of chess get to this point?
At that time, after luring Jiang Wang away with a "fake news", he "cut off" one of Chong Xuan Sheng's arms and immediately launched an all-out attack.
Jiang Wang is not only the person Zhongxuansheng trusts most, but his strong strength and certain reputation are enough to help Zhongxuansheng deal with many things that are difficult for him to take care of.
Now that he is gone, Zhong Xuan Sheng really can't find anyone who can take charge of his own affairs and be absolutely reliable. Fourteen's status inherently determines that it is impossible to preside over the overall situation, and he is not good at it. As the cousin of Chongxuan Sheng and Chongxuan Zun, Chongxuan Chu Liang was not in a position to intervene directly.
During the time when Jiang Wanggang left, Chong Xuansheng was indeed a little tired of dealing with the difficulties.
When the situation was great, the Jubao Chamber of Commerce unexpectedly collapsed.
Overnight, hundreds of shops closed and countless properties were divided and sold.
He had long expected the collapse of Jubao Chamber of Commerce and secretly contributed to it. As an "ally", he can naturally eat the fattest meat during the collapse of Jubao Chamber of Commerce. He was invited to take charge of the business left by Zhongxuan Zun. He was not satisfied with just defeating Zhongxuan Sheng, but wanted to expand this power to demonstrate his ability as Wen Lianmu. It was also for him to make enough capital this time in Linzi.
But the Jubao Chamber of Commerce collapsed too suddenly, much earlier than expected by all parties.
When a landslide occurs, a chain reaction is inevitable. Jubao Chamber of Commerce will collapse too quickly. Along with its nominal ally, the Chongxuanzun-related forces now represented by Wang Yiwu were also affected, and their own situation was in chaos.
Wen Lianmu stabilized the situation immediately with extremely superb skills, but he never expected that Su She would make such a "stupid" decision——
He actually gave up external resistance when the Chamber of Commerce was in such a difficult situation and turned around to stab him and Wang Yiwu. Directly severing many cooperations with Zhongxuanzun, breaking contracts in various ways that would hurt both sides...such an act of impulsiveness!
As a undoubtedly smart person, he should have an overall view. We should do everything possible to unite our allies and struggle for survival. How can we immediately fall out just because they took a few bites of meat? Even if you go crazy, you should distinguish priorities and kill Zhongxuan Sheng first!
Wen Lianmu was good at manipulating people's hearts, and he consciously pushed Su She in that direction.
But Su She was probably driven crazy and collapsed. His "stupid" choices repeatedly shocked him.
After stabbing his ally, he and Wang Yiwu were left scrambling for a while. This man actually gave up all the struggles of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce, and then ran alone outside Linzi City to ambush Jiang Wang, intending to assassinate him, and committed such a reckless act!
Despite this, Wen Lianmu still tried his best to "cooperate". He immediately asked Wang Yiwu to mobilize the backup force left by Zhongxuanzun and use Zhongxuanzun's influence in the Zhongxuan family to prevent Zhongxuansheng from using the divine level combat power.
Chong Xuan Sheng was forced to lose blood in Su She's madness. Either only one Jiang Wang will die, or more will die.
Jiang Wang's ability to survive under such circumstances and counterattack to kill Su She was indeed beyond his expectation.
Su She's strength is probably not as strong as imagined.
It doesn't matter, it's just another round of attack and defense. Wen Lianmu is never afraid of the game.
But Hell Wumen's sudden assassination in Linzi City, and the people under Zhongxuan Zun's sudden involvement in the revenge of the remnants of Yangting, caught him completely off guard.
What does it mean when the house leaks and it rains all night long?
Bei Ya happened to be responsible for this matter.
Zheng Shangming's gang had taken the lead, and Beiya Commander Zheng Shi didn't sell the Marshal's House's face at all. It would have been nice if he didn't "frame" them himself. There was no reason to absolve them of their crimes. Now that he has the emperor's orders, he is quite ready to pursue and fight fiercely.
What's even more difficult is that this is ultimately a matter under Chongxuan Zun. Although he himself has given Wang Yiwu the responsibility, Wang Yiwu has no way to mobilize the power of the Grand Marshal's Office to provide support. In the same way, Wen Lianmu There is no reason to mobilize military forces.
Officially, Zhongxuanzun's power can still only rely on the relationships left by Zhongxuanzun.
In the final analysis, Chongxuanzun was trapped in Jixia Academy, which was equivalent to them binding one arm and fighting Chongxuansheng with one hand. Otherwise, how can we say that Chong Xuan Sheng’s move was a stroke of genius?
Because of such inherent shortcomings, after Wen Lianmu was invited by Wang Yiwu, he immediately chose to pursue and fight fiercely. He wanted to use a storm-like offensive to defeat Zhongxuan Shengwuxia Zigu. Use offense to protect your vitals.
But Chongxuan Sheng survived and saw through his traps several times. He was forced to use conspiracy to transfer Jiang Wang away, and then use his strength to fight head-on. This was the choice he came up with the greatest chance of victory after careful consideration.
However, it still failed.
Even today, it can be declared a failure.
Because of the incident involving the remnants of Yangting, the Chongxuan family also gave up support for Chongxuan Zun's forces and took back a large amount of family business.
Only some businesses that belong to Zhongxuanzun are still surviving.
In the face of Chong Xuan Sheng's foreseeable fierce offensive, it was difficult for Wen Lianmu to have the confidence to hold on.
There is always a winner or loser in a chess game.
Wen Lianmu comforted himself in this way.
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Yiwu didn't know when he had finished practicing.
"What else can I think about?" Wen Lianmu smiled bitterly: "I was thinking about how the people under Zhong Xuan Zun got involved with the remnants of Yang Ting. Was it because he was trying to hold back Xuan Chu Liang from attacking Yang? And Why are you so unwise to act now? Are you thinking that Zhongxuan Zun won the glory of his peers? Why did the Chongxuan family just give up? There are so many things on my mind that I can’t understand them."
Wang Yiwu was silent for a while: "Azun has nothing to do with the remnants of Yangting. Before the Battle of Qiyang, he didn't think that the fat man could really become a threat to him. As for 'giving up', with his talent, the Chongxuan family only needs If he is not a fool, it is impossible to give up on him. It is just those old guys taking the opportunity to make self-righteous beatings."
"If you can confirm that Zhongxuan Zun was not involved in the matter, then it can be inferred from the results that this matter must be a frame-up of Chongxuansheng. But he did it perfectly. I can't find any clues in a short time, and Beiya It is absolutely impossible for him to cooperate with us... At this point, we can only let Zhongxuan Zun come out and find a way to prove his innocence."
At this point, Wen Lianmu shook his head bitterly: "Look at what nonsense I said. I'm really lost."
In order to stuff Chongxuanzun into Jixia Academy, Chongxuansheng almost bet on the harvest of the entire Qiyang Battle.
If Chong Xuanzun could come out easily, why would he need to think of a solution here?
There was no trace of frustration on Wang Yiwu's face. He asked, "Is there no good news at all?"
"There are only worse things..." Wen Lianmu said tiredly: "Not only is Chongxuan Sheng cracking down on those businesses, but the Osawada family is also crazy enough to have a hand in it."
"Didn't the benefits promised to Tian Huanzhang be given to him? Or is he just greedy?"
"None of them." Wen Lianmu shook his head, a little bitterly: "Do you think I will take advantage of all the benefits and do everything to death? Provoking Zheng Shi and offending Bao Zhongqing are all weighed choices. Although I failed, But they are all within the acceptable range. As for attacking Jubao Chamber of Commerce, I want to get more capital and more resource advantages to suppress Chongxuan Sheng. Su She suddenly went crazy... It really caught me off guard. At this time, how could I use Tian Huanzhang in vain?"
He sighed: "It's Tian Anping. No one knows why he's crazy. Maybe it's just because we contacted Tian Huanzhang?"
Wang Yiwu didn't know what to say to Tian Anping, the notorious "madman".
"Anyway, that's it." Wen Lianmu said.
"What else can I say?" Wang Yiwu spread his hands: "A Zun trusted me, but I made things like this."
He tapped his heart: "It's not very comfortable here."
"I'm sorry." Wen Lianmu said, "I made many mistakes."
In fact, they are all eager to attack, and the mistakes will naturally be left after the offensive is resolved. But Wen Lianmu would never use this to comfort himself.
Wang Yiwu waved his hand to stop him from blaming himself: "I asked you for help, and I still have this responsibility."
"So." He asked again, "Is there really no other way?"
"Perhaps..." Wen Lianmu said, "You can ask Military Master Chen for advice. Or, you can ask him, the Military God."
The military advisor he was talking about was Chen Zeqing, Jiang Mengxiong's eldest disciple. Jiang Mengxiong was the military god of the Qi Dynasty. People at that time said that Chen Zeqing inherited his strategy and Wang Yiwu succeeded his military.
Wang Yiwu shook his head: "It concerns A Zun, and Master will not help me. As for Senior Brother Chen... he is a talented person who plans the country, and his wisdom is not used for this kind of thing."
Even though he was very frustrated, Wen Lianmu couldn't help but rolled his eyes feebly - you really can't speak. My co-writing wisdom is only suitable for this kind of thing, right?
But after all, he wasn't in the mood to care. He just grabbed a handful of chess pieces and threw them on the chessboard.
Wang Yiwu then understood that this game of chess had come to an end.
