The princess is killing like crazy again

Cui Ci Ning stayed in Chengchuan without any hesitation.

Xie Deshu asked him directly, when are you leaving?

Cui Ci Ning's answer was also quite shameless.

Not only did he not leave, he also wanted to go back to Yujing with Xiao Yurong, and then return to Yinzhou after seeing Xiao Yurong ascend the throne.

Moreover, he also wants to travel between the two places and enjoy himself.

After saying this, Cui Ci Ning happily ran to pick flowers from the highest branches for Xiao Yurong and ran to buy her favorite cakes.

Cui Ci Ning did not consider himself an outsider at all, and Xie Deshu, the formal master of the Chengchuan Xie family, was quite dissatisfied with this.

The kitten was very angry, but was soon coaxed into submission by Xiao Yurong.

Huo Zhao came from Yujing only two days later than Cui Ci Ning.

Lost and found, lost and found again.

Without further words, the pale-faced Huo Zhao hugged Xiao Yurong into his arms.

He patted Xiao Yurong's neck with his palm and said softly: "Fortunately you are alive, fortunately..."

Luckily I lied to him.

Fortunately.

"Uncle..." Xiao Yurong didn't know what to say.

She told Huo Zhao not to be bound by her uncle's identity, but Huo Zhao was still her uncle.

They think differently, and the desire for power behind them pushes them further and further apart.

"I don't like those, and I don't want them that much." Huo Zhao said, "I have been fighting for these for others, including you."

His voice was hoarse: "If you want, I can fight for it. If you don't want me to touch it, I can not touch it."

As long as Xiao Yurong is alive, it's fine.

He no longer had any other expectations for Xiao Yurong, he just hoped that Xiao Yurong would live well.

He finally understood that he and Xiao Yurong had been going in opposite directions. Xiao Yurong didn't care about worldly matters or ethics, she just wanted him to appear when she needed him.

Xiao Yurong's expression wavered for a moment, and he closed his eyes. "I just hope it will be like before."

She didn't want to go back to the past because she had to look to the future.

But she missed them in the past.

Destiny always rolls forward; this is what Xiao Yurong understood the moment he opened his eyes again.

Xiao Yurong sent a message to Xiao Yuxun, asking him to help stabilize the situation in Yujing.

She didn't know what Xiao Yuxun was thinking, but since Xiao Yuxun had originally conveyed the news that Xiao Yuxie would pass the throne to her, then at least they would not be enemies.

At least she felt that she and Xiao Yuxun were still family.

Well, family members who hurt each other.

Before the fight officially started, Xiao Yurong wanted to give it one more try and talk to Liu Pinjue again.

Since Liu Pinjue was willing to let her go and let her return to Chengchuan, she still wanted to try to get a little more press.

Be polite before fighting.

Xiao Yurong understood that this gentleman of his was no ordinary person. His authority and strategy gave him absolute say in the Liu family.

They had just had a small confrontation not long ago.

Liu Pinjue spread false news about the war on the border to lure Cui Ci Ning, who had come to Chengchuan, back to Yinzhou.

Cui Ci Ning originally wanted to go back, but Xiao Yurong felt something was wrong and asked Fuyang Guard to investigate.

Cui Ci Ning came here alone. If he wanted to go back to Yinzhou, he would encounter countless ambushes along the way.

Since Cui Ci Ning did not take any action, Liu Pinjue naturally understood that the plan had been exposed.

He was amazed at Xiao Yurong's growth and sharpness. Now he could remain calm and plan steadily.

Relying on the personal connections he had accumulated over the years, Liu Pinjue built a powerful army that belonged exclusively to the Liu family.

Xiao Yurong also gathered his followers and actively prepared food and armaments. The imperial army, Li's army, and Huo's army were temporarily merged.

Xiao Yurong expressed his desire to talk in front of the battle.

Liu Pinjue did not show up.

Standing in the front are Anan and Abei.

Xiao Yurong felt that they seemed a little guilty.

Anan shouted, "If you want to fight, then fight. There is no point in talking any more!"

"Is this your idea or Mr.'s?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Anan felt even more guilty, "Of course that's what the master meant, don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Yurong: “Heh.”

The general next to him glanced at Anan with suspicion, "Why didn't the Lord show up today? Is he deliberately avoiding us?"

"How is that possible?" Abei denied it flatly.

The general still had doubts: "I heard that when the master was hiding in Yujing, his favorite disciple was Zhaoyang ***. The dancer that the master loved before died unexpectedly, and there have been rumors in the tribe that it was ***. The master has not shown up yet. Could it be that he is unwilling to fight her?"

Some people in the clan already felt suspicious and dissatisfied about this, but due to Liu Pinjue's authority, no one dared to speak out.

Now that Liu Pinjue is not here, he asked.

"Are you questioning your master?" Anan felt extremely guilty and could only ask back.

"Young General Liu Nan." A young man in green clothes walked out from behind Xiao Yurong with a smile in his eyes.

The general frowned.

The man in green in the tent, who had planned everything, was the princess's adviser - Li Shaoyan.

Li Yaozhi smiled and said, "Why don't you ask the teacher to come out? Both of my disciples are here, so please ask the teacher to come out and have a chat."

Anan was just about to find an excuse to refuse when a voice came from behind him.

"Well said." Liu Pinjue pulled the reins and rode his horse slowly forward from the army.

The soldiers on both sides spontaneously made way for him with respectful expressions.

Liu Pinjue looked forward, "Since you are my disciple, why do you have to be my enemy? What's wrong with joining the Liu family?"

"The Li family currently has no intention of changing their affiliation. Thank you for your kindness, teacher." Li Yaozhi remained calm.

Xiao Yurong raised his eyebrows, "Sir, you are not shy about poaching people, right in front of me?"

"Of course we have to compete for good talents." Liu Pinjue was calm and composed.

"Under Lord Liu's command, there are countless counselors and generals. Why bother to fight for Shaoyan from me?" Xiao Yurong said with a smile.

Liu Pinjue raised his eyebrows slightly, as if joking: "*** are you kidding, one Li Yaozhi in your command can defeat my eight hundred counselors."

Li Yaozhi has always been by Xiao Yurong's side. He has been with her since she was a child and has been watching her, no matter whether she has a head full of jewels or is wearing military uniform and armor.

He stood silently for a long time behind Xiao Yurong, seemingly a loyal dog, but in fact a scheming venomous snake and ferocious beast.

Xiao Yurong was still laughing, as if he was really amused by the joke.

She asked, "The eighteen states and three hundred cities of Chule, the common people, the counselors and the generals, are all chess pieces. You and I, the master and disciple, are also among them. If I win this game, can it be considered a victory?"

Liu Pinjue owes her a lesson.

The sky was filled with wind and sand. After a while, Liu Pinjue finally gave an answer.

He lowered his eyes, as if he was laughing, but also as if he was mocking, "If this day really comes, it will be counted."

Xiao Yurong smiled, "Since you and I are still master and disciple, can we talk about this battle?"

"Talk?" Liu Pinjue narrowed his eyes.

"Just you and I, in the pavilion in the middle of the lake on the border between Yunzhou and Chengchuan, we can have a detailed talk," Xiao Yurong said.

"What is there to talk about?" Liu Pinjue asked.

Xiao Yurong was calm and collected. "There is a lot to talk about. What do you think, sir?"

The general was anxious, "My lord! Be careful, there is a trap!"

Xiao Yurong smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, I am also alone and unarmed."

"My lord!" The general tried to persuade him again.

Liu Pinjue raised his hand to stop him, "That's enough, I only have a plan."

He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yurong, "When? I'm always here for you."

"Then please come in." Xiao Yurong extended his hand.

As the two armies faced each other, the commander on the front side went off alone to have a detailed discussion.

Both sides were extremely nervous, especially Liu's side.

Anan and Abei were observing from a distance, but were stopped by Xie Deshu.

The two sides almost started fighting again.

Li Yaozhi smiled and advised: "Don't look at what is inappropriate, don't listen to what is inappropriate, don't say what is inappropriate. Why don't you wait patiently for good news?"

This means that there was no fight.

There were drinks and cakes in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. It didn't look like the enemy troops were negotiating for peace, but rather like old friends reuniting.

There was a continuous drizzle in the sky, fog rose on the water surface, and raindrops fell, splashing ripples.

The mist and rain are poetic and picturesque.

Xiao Yurong still had the leisure to lean on the railing and look at the distant mountains. The distant mountains were picturesque, painted in ink and color.

The mountains in the distance were looming in the rain and fog. Xiao Yurong stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops, "It's raining."

"Before, you were shouting for war and killing, saying that the winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit, and I can kill or chop you up as I please. How come you are just sitting here and watching the rain with me now?" Liu Pinjue chuckled in a low voice, with a mocking tone in his voice.

"Would you like a glass of wine?" Xiao Yurong picked up the wine bottle and gestured to Liu Pinjue.

Liu Pinjue frowned slightly, "It's raining and the wind will make you cold, and you still want to drink? When will you pay more attention to your health?"

Xiao Yurong smiled and raised his head, then drank the wine in one gulp, "A little drink will soothe your mood."

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of thunder. Xiao Yurong was lying on her side in the pavilion, wrapped in a red robe, swaying gracefully.

"Sir, have you forgotten what you said back then?" she asked.

Liu Pinjue's originally furrowed brows relaxed slightly, as if he was waiting for Xiao Yurong's follow-up.

The lightning illuminated Xiao Yurong's snow-white face. She curled her red lips, spread her hands, and said, "The only two who can compete are me and you, sir."

There was only rain, wind and thunder.

"Yes." Liu Pinjue finally spoke.

"Sir, don't you like me?" Xiao Yurong approached Liu Pinjue with a burning gaze.

Liu Pinjue paused for a moment, "Where do you get the confidence that I will love you?"

Xiao Yurong smiled: "I didn't say that you love me, and I don't ask for your love."

What she wants is not Liu Pinjue's love.

That's too difficult. To what extent would someone like Liu Pinjue love someone so madly?

So what Xiao Yurong wanted was a hint of hesitation from Liu Pinjue when facing her.

What she wanted to bet on was Liu Pinjue’s difference.

Liu Pinjue would cry for her, be moved by her, and would keep her cat.

Liu Pinjue would send her to Liangjie Mountain regardless of his status and position, and then quietly appear in Yunzhou on the day of her burial.

Xiao Yurong would recall the day when she disguised herself as a dancer and performed a dance, and the look in Liu Pinjue's eyes when he saw her while he was sitting in the upper seat.

When she was dancing with the sword, her moves, habits, and strength were all exposed, right?

Did Liu Pinjue realize it was her at that time? Did he know she was not dead?

The look in Liu Pinjue's eyes at that time was one of disbelief and tears.

When he realized that he had lost his composure, his eyes regained their composure, but his eyes were still slightly moist.

Xiao Yurong was certain of Liu Pinjue's inner ups and downs at that time.

She didn't bet that Liu Pinjue loved her, but this slight hesitation and this slight touch of emotion were enough.

"You..." Facing this disciple who had always given him a headache, Liu Pinjue frowned even more tightly.

"Sir, why do you have to take over the world?" Xiao Yurong asked, "If it's for the family, the Liu family's world? Ever since the Liu family elders sent people to hunt you down, are you really willing to give up everything for it?"

Fatal question.

Liu Pinjue was slightly stunned.

When things finally turned around, all he wanted was to live for himself.

"If you still can't let it go, I can let everyone go and exempt you from the crime of treason. The Liu family will still be the Liu family of Yunzhou with three generations of officials." Xiao Yurong said.

Xiao Yurong came closer, "Or is it because of your ambition? You want to rule the world, and want peace and prosperity for all eternity?"

"That's fine. I'm your disciple, you should trust me." Her words were like bewitching. "I can do it. Peace and happiness, I will make Chu Le become like that. I can let you be the regent and rule the world."

She gently pulled Liu Pinjue's sleeve, just like she did when they were young.

She said: "As a person, I still have things I don't understand. A teacher can teach me, assist me and help me by my side."

Xiao Yurong shook Liu Pinjue's hand, "Sir..."

This is a clear invitation.

Xiao Yurong wanted Liu Pinjue to surrender so that she could pretend nothing had happened.

Although this is like a foolish dream for both sides.

Liu Pinjue's eyes flickered.

Xiao Yurong realized that Liu Pinjue was shaken, and his hesitation was not silent.

It is silence and lowered eyes.

It was just a matter of a moment, and Xiao Yurong sensed Liu Pinjue's silent embarrassment, and was instantly shaken by the tremor of rationality caused by his emotion.

These all flashed by.

Liu Pinjue regained his composure, "You know this is impossible, Qingqing."

Xiao Yurong stopped.

"There are more than just two of us in this world," Liu Pinjue said.

With a sigh, Xiao Yurong withdrew his hand.

"Then there is nothing we can do." Xiao Yurong said, "Then we can only be enemies until we decide the winner."

There is no way. There is no way.

Until they decide the winner, or even the life-and-death battle, they have no way to convince each other.

Liu Pinjue clenched his palms silently, then loosened them.

He looked at Xiao Yurong and said, "Come on, let me see what you are capable of and whether you can become a master."

"Just wait and see, sir." Xiao Yurong smiled slightly.

"Before that, do you want to play one more round?" she asked.

This is probably the last round.

Liu Pinjue was silent for a moment, then nodded.

As usual, Xiao Yurong plays with the black pieces, and the black pieces go first.

Xiao Yurong calmly made his move, "Both sides of the chess game, black and white, yin and yang, are fighting for survival. The master likes playing chess, and taught me to play chess to feel the changes in the laws of nature, and finally achieve harmonious coexistence and accept each other's fate."

Liu Pinjue could almost guess what she was going to say.

As expected, Xiao Yurong asked, "Why can't we draw?"
