Hearing that a military general from the imperial court had come to Fenghuang Mountain City, and that he should still be a prince according to his official title, Qi Moyan, who originally planned to return to the villa, was reluctantly pulled by the eunuch Cheng Shouyi to wait at the gate of the government office.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Qi Moyan's position is just for decoration. I am afraid that all the officials in the court know how useless the city lord of Fenghuang Mountain City is, so there is no need to meet with any high officials in the court. In terms of etiquette, That makes sense.
What's more, the visitor is the Fourteenth Prince Wang Jiang. This royal child has always been regarded as a love rival by him, so it is natural that he is not very happy to meet him.
However, Cheng Shouyi was pedantic and took these red tapes too seriously. He insisted on holding Qi Mo Yan and wouldn't let go, going on and on about etiquette, law and morals. Of course Qi Mo Yan couldn't help it.
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, but it is only for Qi Moyan who is wishful thinking. Naturally, the fourteenth prince Wang Jiang would not have other ideas. The lord of Phoenix City, the Fourteenth Prince, who was much higher in status and position, didn't want to pay too much attention to him at all.
He did not dismount in front of the mansion, but politely returned a salute to Cheng Shouyi and Qin Sheng, who were wearing official uniforms or armors. He was indifferent to Qi Moyan's turning a blind eye and said, "The main thing in Qicheng is that nothing is wrong. Please lead me." Let me go to your villa." As soon as he said this, Qi Moyan's eyes widened, he tilted his head and pulled his neck and shouted: "Wang Jiang, what do you want?" For Qi Moyan who called the prince by his first name, Cheng Shouyi I was so frightened that my legs trembled, and I broke out in a cold sweat in the still chilly evening.
Unknown to the two of them, those trivial old guards were secretly pulling Qi Moyan behind their backs, for fear that the prince opposite would be unhappy and chop up their city lord in the street, and then install him again.
The crime of "committing" is because of lax supervision. Qi Moyan didn't care at all about Cheng Shouyi's quiet hint behind him. He went straight down the steps, raised his head and pointed at Wang Jiang, looking like a shrew scolding the street.
"You came here and you didn't live in the government villa. Why did you go to my house? You are sick! I tell you, Wang Jiang, if you lead troops into the city and don't report to me, I can report it to the court! I will write a note right now. Your Majesty, please just wait!" Wang Jiang naturally knew the reason for Qi Moyan's attitude towards him, and it was precisely because of this that Wang Jiang would find some reason to tease this person because he played chess every time they met. The infatuated lover who became the city lord would naturally not let go of this opportunity now.
Wang Jiang waved his hand, and a black-hammered warrior came up behind him on horseback. On his back was Ye Sangeng, who had just been restrained by the combined efforts of him and Jiang Yi.
After all, they came from the same sect and came from the same sect. With the help of Wang Jiang, Jiang Yi spent a lot of effort to inject the special energy from Xingdao Tomb into Ye Sangen's body, and forcibly suppressed the manic aura in his body. The two of them worked hard to stabilize Ye San Geng.
Now after more than an hour of noisy in the middle of the night, he fell asleep directly after his body returned to normal. He was lying peacefully on the back of the black hammer warrior. Qi Moyan was startled when he saw the beggar in front of him and stepped back two steps. Bu covered his mouth and nose with one hand and frowned: "Wang Jiang, you are deliberately disgusting me, aren't you! Where did this beggar come from? Get it away quickly." Wang Jiang stretched out his hand to pick up the man who was so crazy in the night. With her hair hanging down, she motioned Qi Moyan to come forward and said, "Look, look, who is this." It was getting dark, and it was time to turn on the lamp. In addition, after the tossing in the middle of the night, his face was even more dirty. Qi Moyan couldn't see clearly because he was far away. It was obvious that Wang Jiang didn't look like a joke, so he could only endure the discomfort and took a step or two to take a closer look.
Taking a closer look, I was suddenly shocked, and the hand covering my mouth and nose fell down uncontrollably.
"Night...night watch?" He stared at Wang Jiang with disbelief in his eyes. After receiving Wang Jiang's affirmative reply, Qi Moyan was even more surprised and couldn't close his mouth. He stammered: "How...how did it become like this?" Wang Jiang actually didn't know much more than Qi Moyan, and he had just heard someone claiming to be buried. Jiang Yi, a member of the Daofen sect, told the story in general, and then said: "I also heard a few words from the elder brother who was buried in Daofen. He must have been so angry that he was overcome by demons." Qi Moyan was puzzled, as he had never been exposed to martial arts since he was a child. , People who talk about qiji will never understand things that are almost miraculous to him such as warriors going crazy.
He just asked: "It's better to tidy up here quickly. If it rains and walks for a quarter or two, you can bear it. Oh my God, how did you do this?" It felt like Qi Moyan was in trouble in the blink of an eye. As if he was a different person, Wang Jiang felt funny in his heart and wanted to tease him again, saying: "Brother San Geng was making a fuss on the street just now, causing chaos in the city. I and the seniors from the Yingdao Tomb worked together to put him under control. He stopped. I saw that many people would come to the city lord to complain and complain, but it caused a lot of trouble to the city lord." Wang Jiang wanted to see Qi Mo Yan's joke, but Qi Mo Yan didn't want to pay attention to him at all, Wang Jiang said again : "I heard that the third watch brother left from Qi City Lord at noon, why did he become like this in the afternoon?" Qi Moyan, who was looking at the third watch with a concerned look on his face, was startled and looked at Wang Jiang , frowned and said: "Wang Jiang, what's the matter, are you blackmailing someone?" Wang Jiang felt very happy, bent down on the horse, swung the riding whip, and said with a smile: "Anyway, Sister Xia'er will be a bitch when she sees Brother San Geng like this. I can guess the expression." Mo Yan, as smart as Qi, naturally would not be intimidated by Wang Jiang's few words, and retorted: "He was fine when he left my place at noon, but why did he become like this when he was with you? Wang Jiang "Jiang, your ability to frame someone up can't be something you learned in a military school, right?" After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
Although he was careless about working hard in the army since he was a child, after all, his identity was still there, and he still had a temper in his heart. When Qi Mo Yan said this, Wang Jiang's face suddenly became a little uneasy. He originally wanted to tease Qi Mo Yan, but instead he Once you have captured an army, you have to retort a few words.
Jiang Yiyu, who had been behind the team, stepped forward and said, "General Wang, could you please hold on tighter?" Wang Jiang quickly put away his joke, first bowed to Jiang Yi to apologize, and then moved toward him. Qi Moyan said: "Senior said that Sister Xiayou was kidnapped from the Shanbei Village and brought to the villa in the city. I guess it must be the one in your house." Qi Moyan's feet were unsteady and he almost fell down the steps.
"What's the matter? What's the matter with Xia You?" He took three steps and then two steps to get to Wang Jiang.
"Are you serious?" Wang Jiang didn't reply to him. The anxious Qi Moyan looked around and saw that he had no choice but to get on Wang Jiang's horse. He still ordered the captain and the prefect to attack him.
"Prepare the manpower and come with me to rescue Xia You!" Wang Jiang tightened the reins and laughed loudly,
"The battle between the two armies is focused on the heart, but City Lord Qi cannot afford to rush. With thirty thousand cattle guards like me, we are just a group of rogue bandits, and we can charge at once!"
"Brothers, let City Lord Qi see what our Qianniu Guards are capable of!"
"Drink!"...Obviously Wang Jiang underestimated the group he was talking about.
The ability of "rogue bandits". Arriving at Deshan Villa, the battle-hardened Fourteenth Prince Wang Jiang ignored Qi Mo Yan's obstruction and directly sent out twenty cavalry to attack.
However, before the charge was even halfway through, they were forced back by a row of arrows and crossbows. Thanks to the years of training of this group of black hammer soldiers, their response was faster than that of local soldiers. Therefore, there was no substantial damage. However, it was a bit cowardly to return in embarrassment without even seeing the opponent's figure. This made the big statement just now The fourteenth prince who went out was greatly embarrassed.
This time it was the old god Qi Moyan who was here, squinting at Wang Jiang and said: "I remember that there were gangs of pirates in Quanzhou sea area who caused trouble for no reason. They spent the whole day robbing and plundering passing ships, whether they were merchant ships or merchant ships. Official ships would not be safe if they crossed that sea. At that time, Emperor Wen Sheng, who had just ascended the throne for a few years, was eager to make some achievements in martial arts, so he sent Prince Ye to lead the expedition. You were thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, secretly I infiltrated into the army and stayed with Lord Ye in Quanzhou for three or four months. I didn't earn any military merit, but I officially entered the army. It was the last time Lord Ye led the army. The prince took off his armor and returned to the field. You wore armor to kill the enemy, but you were flattered by those in the court. It has become a legend. It must have been seven or eight years now, how can General Xiao Wang still be so reckless? This title is not awarded because of his status, right?" Qi Moyan laughed at him in front of so many people. , if this happened in normal times, Wang Jiang would probably have retorted back to him, but now his boasts have not been rounded up, so he can only accept this scolding.
Although there was no rebuttal on his lips, his eyes were digging into Qi Moyan without any trace. Qi Moyan added: "It is true that the two armies are fighting each other, but the premise is that you can understand the details of the other side? How many people are there, what is the purpose, whether there are reinforcements, the layout of the troops, and the defensive situation. Only with a thorough understanding can you tell the Thirty-Six Stratagems." .You are so blind that you dare to charge in even if you don't know what to ask. Thanks to the strength of the Qianniu Guards and the Black Hammer Armor, if the city's defense is left to your command, you will have to break in a lot with just one charge. Xiao Wang General, do you have your own advisers and staff? No need to use your brain." Qi Moyan looked at Wang Jiang with deep meaning in his eyes and said,
"The lower-class people are in the battle as pawns, and the upper-class people work hard to be handsome. They are still too young." Wang Jiang naturally did not pay attention to the deep meaning in Qi Moyan's eyes, but he blushed at Qi Moyan's last sentence. Fortunately, it was already getting late. , no one noticed.
Qi Moyan continued: "Although I don't know how to fight, in my understanding, marching, setting up formations to fight against the enemy is not much different from playing chess. When I play chess with others, the first game is to explore the game. It doesn't matter if I move first or second. Don't worry about winning or losing, first explore the falsehood and trueness. A person with low chess skills will know his ability in three moves, and a high-level chess player will know his level in ten moves. After that, he will naturally know how to make a move. The second game is the stabbing game, and the opponent will know how to hide his own falsehood and trueness. Chaosing the position is called attacking the mind. In every subsequent round, the opponent will be controlled by you, that's a foregone conclusion." Wang Jiang, who joined the army at a young age and didn't know much about this kind of troublesome square-inch black heron, looked at it excitedly. Qi Moyan, who was not very literate, just curled his lips in disdain at his long speech. A general like him who liked to charge into battle would naturally look down on these armchair literati counselors.
Wang Jiang deliberately wanted to build a platform for him to make the opponent look embarrassed, so he said: "As far as I know, what you are most afraid of when playing chess is unreasonable players. If the opponent makes random moves without thinking, it doesn't matter what you do in the game. , isn't it just too much to deal with." Obviously Wang Jiang's remarks made Qi Moyan, a national player with world-famous chess skills, a little bit contemptuous. He smacked his lips and let out a series of tut-tut sounds.
"Unreasonable moves? You panic when you get into the game, and you are always being unreasonable at every step." Naturally, Wang Jiang didn't understand the deeper meaning of this. Qi Moyan turned an army around and shut up in anger.
Qi Moyan started talking to himself again,
"It's always like this when I play chess. It's not like Xia You, who opens and closes widely. He always seizes other people's ambitions with fierce force. He attacks all the way, making people care about the left and lose the right. In the end, he only checks for the shortcomings and slowly abandons the first move. To make up for it, the overall situation has been decided when encountering an unstable person. If you encounter an experienced player, you may not be sure of turning the game around with twenty pieces in the early stages of the game. Alas, speaking of Xiayou, I don’t know what’s going on inside. The ice cellar in the villa is quite good. Leave some bird's nests for her..." He said it well at first, but as he spoke, it changed. Qi Moyan looked up to the sky and lamented as if he was insane, which made Wang Jiang beside him feel impatient and was too lazy to talk to him anymore. He waved and called A soldier came and asked him to carefully sneak into the villa to investigate.
Jiang Yi, who was guarding the midnight watch in the simple military tent that had just been set up nearby, heard about Wang Jiang's arrangement. Naturally, he considered the meaning and missed Ye Hao. He stood up and said, "It's inconvenient for you to wear armor, so I'd better go there." Let's do it." After saying this, without waiting for a reply, his figure flashed and disappeared into the gradually falling black curtain.
