Chapter 126 Playing Chess Again
three days later
The empress stood there and watched An Dongjun's back gradually go away. Li Maozhen came to her side holding the "Luoshui":
"Go ahead, I'm here in Fengxiang."
"You really are my brother."
Li Zhaozhao tilted his head to look at him, smiling like a flower: "It's okay, it won't be too late to go after we have properly settled the matter of Huanyinfang.
At that time, I will use my own identity!"
......
At the same time, in a teahouse somewhere in Jingzhao Huayuan, Shangguan Yunque anxiously asked Wen Tao, waiting for his response.
"Hey, what did Xingyun say?"
Wen Tao looked at the envelope in his hand and said, "They said everything is ready. We can go to Liangshan to join them now."
"Really? That's great! I miss him so much."
Shangguan Yunque said excitedly.
Compared to his excitement, Wen Tao was much calmer. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
After a while, he glanced at the pigeon's limping gait out of the corner of his eye, then grabbed the pigeon and looked at it carefully, and finally found a clue.
"Something is wrong. This letter has been opened."
Now Wen Tao was no longer calm, and hurriedly called Shangguan Yunque to go to Liangshan:
"Let's go. We must reunite with Brother Li and his men as soon as possible and get the Longquan treasure to avoid any more trouble."
"Oh, okay!"
......
two days later
On a certain hilltop, Anton Jun calmly stepped into the territory of Chang'an.
Chang'an has been deserted since it was burned down by Zhu Wen more than ten years ago.
Logically speaking, there are only a small number of teahouses in this border area, and especially at this time, every teahouse should be crowded.
However, the teahouse that Anton came to today was deserted. It could be said to be abandoned, but it was very clean and it was obvious that it had just been cleaned.
The most important thing is that this teahouse only has a table in the middle of the yard and two chairs on both sides. The teapot on top is still steaming. No one would believe it if you said it was not specially prepared by someone.
Anton walked to one of the chairs and sat down. Just as he poured out the first cup of tea, a figure suddenly appeared on the chair opposite him.
"Why did the Marshal come to such a remote place instead of setting up the troops in the Cangbing Valley?"
Yuan Tiangang did not answer his question, but continued:
"Some time ago, the Japanese general cast a divination, which showed that the chaotic times would end, the sun and the moon would soar in the sky, and prosperity would return."
How can this be calculated? How can it be calculated when Qi State has just started to take action?
After hearing his words, something strange flashed in Anton Jun's eyes.
However, when he thought about how Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng in the anime had already calculated what would happen hundreds of years later, he felt that there was nothing to be surprised about, so he quickly hid that emotion.
As for why Anton Jun thought it was Qi State, the fact that Yuan Tiangang came to Fengxiang a few days ago was the best proof. It must be because he calculated this that he ran to Fengxiang.
Maybe he wanted to talk to me about something, but Li Xingyun happened to be there at that time, so Yuan Tiangang had to return empty-handed.
"The prosperity is back, and the world is stable. Isn't that good?"
Yuan Tiangang's aura suddenly surged, and at the same time he released his pressure on An Dongjun: "But that prosperous era was not the re-prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!"
Anton Jun faced the pressure and circulated several skills in his body at the same time. A sword shadow appeared and he used all his internal strength to press towards Yuan Tiangang, wrestling with Yuan Tiangang's internal strength.
However, it can be vaguely seen from this confrontation that Anton is at a disadvantage.
"Your breath has weakened."
Anton Jun did not answer. His aura surged again, and the sword shadow flashed a dazzling light. The two internal forces finally canceled each other out.
“Huh~” Anton raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, panting slightly, and said: “Marshal, the fall of the Tang Dynasty was not achieved overnight, its foundation had already collapsed.
Today, the world is in an era of great contention, with wars between nations frequent and countless people dying.
The people are already tired of years of war. What they care about is whether they can survive and have enough food to eat tomorrow.
If at this time, a country with united people can really emerge, what's the harm in changing dynasties?
Isn't the most important thing for Kyushu today the peace of the country and the happiness of the people? Is the name of the person sitting on the dragon throne really that important? "
"Ridiculous! Everything the princes have today was given by the Tang Dynasty. It would be fine if they didn't help me revive the Tang Dynasty, but now that they have shown rebellious intentions, they should be wiped out!"
"But those in high positions don't care about the lives of the people, so how can the people bear the pain of losing their country? Since the people of the Tang Dynasty have lost their will, revival is a delusion. Why are you unwilling to accept this outcome?"
"How dare you!" Yuan Tiangang roared, and the teacup in Anton Jun's hand exploded, with blood gushing out.
His obsession with restoring the Tang Dynasty was too deep to be changed by a few words from others. Even Li Chunfeng couldn't persuade him back then, let alone other people now.
"Ahem..." Apparently, Anton Jun also understood this truth. "Marshal, since you have already calculated the future, why are you unwilling to accept that outcome?"
Yuan Tiangang looked at An Dongjun with a crazy look in his eyes: "No! I haven't lost yet!"
Noticing that Yuan Tiangang was looking at him, with a strong purpose in his eyes that was about to overflow, Anton Jun could only shake his head helplessly:
“Marshal, you don’t think that Xing Yun will become emperor after I die.
In fact, I am not that important. Even if I die, the lives of the people of Qi country will still continue along the current trajectory.
Xingyun has seen what that looks like, and he will not claim to be an emperor now."
The fact is just as Anton said, when Li Xingyun was placing Ji Ruxue's body, he had already seen the lives of the people of Qi State.
Since then, Li Xingyun would write letters or ask the bad guys to pass messages to Yuan Tiangang from time to time. What were they talking about?
'The state of Qi is peaceful and its people are happy.
Li Maozhen is also a wise ruler. With him around, the stability of the world is not a problem. There is no need for me to declare myself emperor, as that would only bring more trouble to the world.'
Yuan Tiangang also took a sip of tea: "No, as long as you "die" in His Highness's hands, everything will be possible."
Anton Jun frowned slightly: "Are you crazy?"
Yuan Tiangang threatened him: "If you don't agree, I will kill the empress."
An Dongjun stood up, his internal strength surged, and his tone suddenly became urgent: "Yuan Tiangang, you dare?!"
His breath was obviously weaker than before, but Yuan Tiangang felt a sense of oppression from it. The surrounding breath and Anton Jun's internal force pressed heavily on his chest.
It was the first time for him to feel such pressure, and it was also the first time for him to see the other party's emotions fluctuate so much. He sneered and put down the teacup:
"Why wouldn't I dare? If you don't accept it, you can kill Li Xingyun. The question is, will you do that?
Or do you think you can kill me now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Anton-kun's momentum was also beaten back.
"You know what? Having concerns is your biggest weakness!"
"you!"
After hearing his threat, Anton Jun was angry but powerless, because Yuan Tiangang was right, he would not kill Li Xingyun like this.
Moreover, even if he was in full condition, as long as Yuan Tiangang had no intention of fighting for life and death with him, he really could not kill him.
Not to mention my current situation. If I really fight with him, the risk will be very high.
So in the end he compromised, because he couldn't do anything to Yuan Tiangang now.
Now the person who has given up has become Yuan Tiangang, and Anton Jun has also experienced what Yuan Tiangang felt back then.
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, the balance of the contract has completely reversed.
Anton-Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Who would have thought that after An Dongjun compromised, Yuan Tiangang's momentum suddenly weakened, and his tone unexpectedly softened: "An Dongjun, play a game of chess with me."
"???"
I don’t understand. Anton Jun said that he really doesn’t understand this person.
However, since the Bad Leader has said so, I will definitely be happy to hear it.
"bring it on."
After a while, Yuan Tiangang left, leaving An Dongjun alone sitting there, cursing: "You arrogant old man!"
"Ah~"
After cursing, he looked at the jade tablet on the table and sighed. He had originally wanted to wait until Li Cunxu died before taking the next step.
But Yuan Tiangang's appearance this time completely disrupted his arrangements, and he had to make a new plan.
