Chapter 222: 222 Flaws (six more updates)
Chapter 222 222 Flaws (sixth update)
Gu Jue and Wuhe Jialou started playing this blind chess game a few days ago.
The so-called "blind chess" means that the two sides do not need to look at the board or move the chess pieces when playing, but use formulas to express the moves to be made. This requires superb chess skills and amazing memory to memorize the entire chess game. , the requirements for chess skills and memory are extremely high.
The game of chess between Gu Jue and Wuhe Jialou had no time limit. They played and stopped at will.
They have been playing for more than three days, and there is no winner yet. Except for the two of them, no one else knows what kind of situation this game has reached.
After the two of them walked back and forth for a few times, Jialou seemed to sense that Gu Jue was in a good mood and suddenly asked: "Is everything going well?"
In fact, Jialou didn't need anyone else to **** him back to Hao. He offered to let Gu Jue **** him, just to sell him a favor and give him a legitimate chance to leave the capital.
He didn't care about other things at all, and he never thought about exploring where Gu Jue went or what he did in those few days.
It is conceivable that Gu Jue did not hesitate to carry the emperor on such a trip, he must have important matters to deal with.
This time he not only sold a favor to Gu Jue, but also returned a favor to Chu Qianchen.
"It went well." Gu Jue had no intention of hiding it and nodded directly, a soft smile flashing across his eyes.
Surprise, relief, pleasure, all there.
Before he left the capital, he only told Chu Qianchen that he would quietly go to the northwest to meet Qin Yao.
That's all.
At that time, he didn't know the situation in the northwest, and he hadn't decided what to do specifically. However, he believed that this girl would be able to cooperate with him, but he didn't expect that she could do this.
Thinking about the content of the letter, Gu Jue's eyes flashed with smiles, and a slender figure appeared in his mind. The girl looked back at him and smiled, as charming and charming as an epiphyllum blooming under the moon.
This marriage was originally just an accident, but it unexpectedly made him care.
Gu Jue's smile was like spring breeze and rain, and he suddenly wanted to go back to the capital as soon as possible.
"Black, December, three, stand."
"White, fourteen pheasants, six, pass."
“…”
Amidst occasional sounds, the convoy moved forward rapidly until they came to a stone tablet with the three words "Changjing Town" typed on it.
Jingfeng rode his horse to Gu Jue's side and said: "Your Majesty, three miles further we will reach Changjing Town. After we go to Changjing Town for supplies, we can head to the dock."
After crossing the river from the dock, it was no longer the territory of Daqi, but the territory of Hao Kingdom.
Their journey was finally coming to an end.
Thinking of this, these dust-stained soldiers couldn't help but become energetic.
Therefore, Gu Jue ordered the accompanying soldiers to stay here and wait for orders, while he, a dozen people including Wuhejialou went into the town to supply supplies and take a rest.
The group of people slowed down their horses slightly and rode forward for two teas. A small town appeared in front of them.
The town is not big, and the main street is only big enough for three horses to walk parallelly.
There are many restaurants and shops on both sides of the street. There are hawkers and salesmen setting up stalls every few steps on the road. Some passers-by buy things and bargain at the stalls on the roadside.
The stall owners shouted to greet business:
"Look, look, the fruits here are fresh and cheap."
"Masters, do you want to buy some gadgets to take back to your wife?"
"Dry goods, dry goods are sold. Our prices are the most reasonable in this town!"
“…”
On the street, the shouts of the stall owners and shopkeepers came and went, full of life.
After the group entered the town, they entered a nearby restaurant. In the lobby of the restaurant, there were only a few guests and only three or four tables were seated.
Gu Jue and Wu Hejialou sat at one table, and the others spread out and joined three tables together.
Jingfeng looked at the noisy streets outside and said with a smile: "This town is quite lively. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs."
Others also echoed: "Yeah, it's really lively."
"Eating those cold and hard dry foods lately has almost made my mouth feel like a bird. Today I can finally find a decent hotel to have a hot meal."
"It's best to buy some sauced meat, sauced duck, sausages, etc., and store them for a few more days."
“…”
Everyone felt salivating and hungry. "What do you guests want to eat?" A waiter with a rag came forward, wiped the table with the rag in his hand, and greeted Gu Jue and Wuhe Jialou cheerfully.
Without waiting for their answer, the waiter said eloquently: "Our Yunlai Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the town. Our chef's grandfather used to cook at Tianxiang Tower in Beijing. His cooking skills are nothing to say. Both meat and vegetable dishes are top notch. ”
Gu Jue said casually: "Then let's serve some of your specialty dishes."
"Okay!" The waiter responded repeatedly, "Guests, please wait a moment."
The waiter shook the rag and turned around, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
The waiter quickly retreated from the front hall.
After a while, he came back with another tray. On the tray were several pots of tea and several dishes of side dishes. He smiled attentively and said: "Guests, the kitchen is already cooking the food. I will serve you some first." Tea and side dishes, please warm your stomach first!”
The few side dishes served by the waiter are all cold dishes, such as peanuts with salt and pepper, dried bamboo shoots mixed with sesame oil, duck noodles with goose webs, cold pickled bracken, etc.
"We don't have any good tea here. This barley tea is also made by the chef himself. It's fragrant, appetizing, and can also quench thirst." The waiter carefully poured tea for Gu Jue and Wuhe Jialou, and said with a bright tongue One pass.
Gu Jue casually picked up the white porcelain tea cup, sniffed the tea aroma leisurely, and praised: "The tea is good tea, the burnt aroma is fresh and not mixed."
The waiter's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said to Wuhe Jialou: "There is no meat in this tea, Master, do you want to try it too?"
Jialou did not move, holding a bead in one hand and making a Buddhist salute to Gu Jue sitting opposite him with the other hand, "White, eleven winters, five, thorns."
His last word was slightly accentuated.
The two of them looked at each other. On the chessboard that only they knew, the white piece that had been playing steadily suddenly turned into an unsheathed long knife, and the gleaming blade was pointed at the enemy.
Gu Jue smiled, as if he heard something that made him happy. Without even a moment's pause, he said: "Black, seventeen stars, three, demolish."
The waiter was confused and looked back and forth between the two of them.
He shook his left hand hidden in his sleeve, and there was a dagger in his hand. He took a step closer to Uhagalou and said, "My guest..."
The next moment, his smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and a long knife stabbed him from behind. He ducked and wanted to hide, but it was too late. Two other long knives crossed at him and attacked him from the left and right. Put it on his neck.
Mo Chen immediately took off Xiao Er's left wrist, and the dagger in the other man's hand fell. Mo Chen raised his toes against the handle of the dagger, and the dagger fell into his hand.
"..." The waiter's eyes widened in disbelief, and he broke into a cold sweat.
At the same time, the soldiers at the other three tables also took action simultaneously, working together with a tacit understanding. Two soldiers carefully blocked the door of the restaurant, and each of the others killed one. The white knife went in and the red knife came out, killing all the other diners in the lobby. Every one of them was killed with one blow.
In the blink of an eye, corpses were lying on the floor in the lobby of the restaurant, and blood was gurgling from underneath the corpses...
On the street outside the restaurant, no one noticed the changes here, and it was still lively.
Mo Chen pointed the newly acquired dagger at Xiao Er's face, mercilessly cutting a **** mark on his face, and asked in a cold voice: "Who sent you here?"
He is like an emotionless weapon, filled with murderous intent.
The waiter sneered and ignored Mo Chen. Instead, he looked at Gu Jue and Jia Lou and asked without answering, "Where did I reveal my flaw?"
"There are flaws everywhere." Gu Jue played with the white porcelain teacup in his hand casually, "This barley tea must have been mixed with drugs. The aroma of the tea is used to cover up the aroma of the medicine."
"The man at the gate has been following us since we entered the town. He is sitting there just to block the gate."
"The people at the table next to us have just had a cup of tea. They have peeked at our side at least thirty times. Their toes are all pointing this way, and no one is sitting firmly, ready to go."
"All the food on these people's tables is cold, at least it's overnight food."
"Their tiger's mouths all have cocoons, and they are all martial arts practitioners..."
“…”
The more Gu Jue spoke, the uglier the waiter's face became, and he said in a deep voice: "Soldiers are unpredictable, and deceit is the way. Your Highness, King Chen, is indeed well-deserved. No wonder we fell into His Highness's hands!"
Gu Jue smiled slightly, and there was a bit of coldness in his smile, "You are here for Wuhejia Tower, right?"
Gu Jue kept Xiao Er alive, of course not out of kindness, but for interrogation.
Just now, he spent so much time talking to the waiter just to observe his expression and reaction.
This man is a well-trained killer, and his reaction is different from that of ordinary people when faced with torture. His expression changes will be more subtle, and he may even make some reactions to mislead others, so Gu Jue needs some basis for judgment.
The waiter did not answer, but said: "If I say that I was sent by the emperor to assassinate His Highness King Chen, will Your Highness believe it?"
There are guaranteed monthly votes today, remember to leave them for me~ You can vote every day for the annual CP.
