Life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.
Things in the world are always unpredictable and impossible to control.
Families are obsessed with each other, siblings can kill each other, and parents are not filial. These are things that we don’t want to see, but they often appear before our eyes.
Wu Xing and Hu Daiwei are both swordsmen. They also have stern faces and few friends. Birds of a feather flock together. It's because there are so many similarities between the two that they became close friends.
Before this, they never imagined that one day they would become rivals.
They were each other's most trusted friends, but God's will has made one of them a soldier and the other a thief.
It has been exposed that Hu Daiwei entered the palace to steal paintings. Although he himself is not afraid of anything, he is different from before. He is now a man with a family. He could no longer wave his sleeves lightly and come and go like the wind. He was worried.
In this world, the person he cares about the most is his wife Xue Qingrou.
His wife, on the other hand, has more and more concerns, which also indirectly becomes a tie for him.
He doesn't have many friends, and the fifth line is not only his best friend, but also his only good friend. Other fair-weather friends are not worth mentioning in his eyes.
But now, his best friend has become his enemy.
He didn't want this, and he never thought it would be like this, but it happened to be like this.
Based on his understanding of the fifth line, the fifth line must have guessed that he would go down the mountain, so he should have been waiting for a long time now.
Of course, Hu Daiwei did not know Wang Jinghao, the commander of the Jinyiwei, but had only heard of his name. However, he understood that although it was Wang Jinghao's order to let him go down the mountain, it was actually the meaning of the fifth line.
After Wang Jinghao gave the order, Hu Daiwei encountered no obstacles and successfully descended the mountain.
As soon as we arrived at the foot of the mountain, there was already a woman in white waiting: "Master Hu, please come this way."
When Hu Daiwei saw this, he couldn't help but feel happy: "The fifth line, who has always hated women the most, now actually has a female family around him. Does it mean that the sun rises in the west today?"
The woman in white didn't mind Hu Daiwei's blunt words, but smiled and said: "Hu Daxia, who is also a loner, gets married, so what's so strange about his good friends having multiple maids?"
"What a sharp mouth!" Hu Daiwei sighed.
After the woman in white finished speaking, she led Hu Daiwei around in several large circles, and then came to a valley.
Although Hu Daiwei and Wu Xing have different positions now, he still trusts this friend very much. At least he can be sure that the fifth line will never set a trap for him. He is not such a person at all.
The valley is clear, the cliffs are desolate, and the waterfall leans down from the sky, just like the grand scene of Tianmen.
"I didn't expect that there is such a good place at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. How come you found it?" Hu Daiwei asked with a smile, looking very relaxed.
"Old friends get together, drink and talk, so naturally we have to find a good place!" The fifth line replied with a half-smile.
Under the cliff, there is a stone table and several stone benches around it, which weigh about a hundred or ten pounds. The fifth row is sitting in front of the stone table, with a young and beautiful girl sitting next to her, accompanied by three maids. Two jars of old wine and a pair of chess sets have been placed on the stone table.
"Two drinks first?" Hu Daiwei asked tentatively.
"It's okay to have a round." The fifth line replied smoothly.
"How about we play chess over wine?" Hu Daiwei said, already sitting down.
The two seemed to really just come to reminisce about old times, and after the maid poured the wine, they started playing chess as if nothing had happened.
The only thing that made Hu Daiwei feel uncomfortable was that there were suddenly a few more women around him in the fifth row. Although they didn't talk and didn't bother them at all, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
This is not the fifth line's behavior. He has always regarded women as his father-killing enemies.
The two of them just drank and played chess without anyone saying anything. Not long after, the chess game came to an end, with no winner yet.
Seeing this, Hu Daiwei suddenly sighed: "Hey! This life is like a game of chess. No one knows the outcome until the last moment. Who will win?"
The fifth line immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, people are like this chess piece, always black and white, clear at a glance."
"Having said that, now that you are white and I am black, it doesn't seem easy for you to win against me." Hu Daiwei followed the fifth line.
The fifth line heard the words and smiled lightly: "Brother Hu seems to have been deceived by some superficial things." As soon as he finished speaking, he lost another white piece. Now Hu Daiwei looked at it again, and the chess game was immediately disadvantageous to him.
Hu Daiwei picked up the sunspot and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't know how to place it. I just feel that no matter how I deal with it, I am always a little slower. In fact, it is a dead end and cannot be solved at all.
"Forget it, your chess skills are always better than mine. I lost!" Hu Daiwei finally gave up.
"Do you know why?" The fifth line asks a little more meaningfully.
"Why?"
"The reason is that I always hold the white piece." The fifth line replied with a smile.
"Actually, is it necessary to distinguish black and white so clearly? In other words, you can really distinguish black and white, and don't be fooled by some superficial things." Hu Daiwei also answered speciously.
"Aren't you tired of talking like this?" The woman beside him in the fifth row was a little impatient and finally spoke. It was Wu Zhizhi who had been following him.
"Girl, please tell me something." Hu Daiwei said.
"I just want to ask you, did you steal the Five Oxen Picture in the Palace?" Wu Zhizhi asked directly.
"Since the girl asked, I can only tell you, yes!" Hu Daiwei said bluntly.
"Well, please come with us." Wu Zhizhi said aggressively.
"Girl, are you trying to catch me?" Line 5 asked calmly.
"That's not what she meant." Wu Zhizhi still wanted to speak, but was blocked by the fifth line.
The fifth line knows that Hu Daiwei is aloof by nature and hates others speaking to him in a commanding tone. If Wu Zhizhi is allowed to interfere anymore, there will probably be trouble today.
"What if I don't follow you two! What will happen?" Hu Daiwei's tone has changed somewhat.
"Don't toast..." When Wu Zhizhi heard this, the princess was about to get angry, but she was choked back by the fifth line.
"Say less." Line 5 scolded.
"Fifth Brother, if you have something to say, it's better to ask for help in person." Hu Daiwei continued: "I stole the Five Cows Picture, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. If you want to arrest me, I'll be here for you at any time."
After that, he drifted away.
"Brother Hu, that's not what I meant." In the fifth line, he wanted to explain, but Hu Daiwei had already disappeared.
"This person is not unreasonable at all. He stole something, and he seems to be reasonable." Wu Zhizhi said angrily.
"It's all you. If you stop saying a few words, you'll die!" The fifth line said loudly, glaring at Wu Zhizhi.
"you……"
Ever since she was a child, no one had ever dared to yell at her like this. Normally, he would have whipped someone. But facing the fifth line, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't vent it out at all, so she had to swallow the words that came to her lips.
