Rebirth of the Great Power

Fan Shixuan and Luyi were a few steps behind the two of them, seeing them coming, they walked over together.

When they got close, Mu Yuan said to Ji Jin, "Careful, these two are Fan Shixuan and Miss Luyi."

Ji Jin nodded slightly.

Naturally, Fan Shixuan and Luyi had already noticed the person next to Mu Yuan, and they knew who it was without introduction.

Growing up in Beijing, she had heard many legends about this man, and it was the first time for Lu Yi to meet the present King Xin.Even though he is not wearing court clothes, his appearance and demeanor stand out from the crowd and can be noticed at a glance.

Luyi admired in her heart, was blessed, and said in a low voice: "The little girl has seen the prince."

Fan Shixuan's mood was a little delicate and complicated.Because of family changes when he was young, he has always held prejudices and grudges against people in the court. If he hadn't met Mu Yuan first, and Mu Yuan came to Beijing after he entered Beijing, I am afraid that the two may not be destined to become close friends.However, after he recognized Mu Yuan first, his identity was no longer so important.Even so, he never expected that one day he would get acquainted with the most powerful King Xin because of it.

Before calling Mu Yuan to stop, Fan Shixuan noticed Ji Jin beside him.After knowing that Mu Yuan was given a marriage, he once tossed and turned, and imagined what it would be like when the two stood together, although he had never seen the legendary prince at that time.However, he didn't know until this moment that all imaginations are not as real and direct as witnessing with his own eyes.Looking from afar, the two people standing side by side can only be described as pleasing to the eye, not only because of their outstanding appearance, but more importantly, the way they look at each other, it's hard to say how affectionate they are, but they have a constant love. The fetters; and the indescribable atmosphere when they were together, as if they were born to stand together.

At that moment, not only Fan Shixuan, but also Luyi felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.Not to admit defeat, but from the very beginning, they have never been compared together.Fan Shixuan thought to himself: Probably in Yunzhi's heart, each of them is important, and each has its own position, but only one person occupies the whole.Fan Shixuan feels that something has been let go, and it seems that there is something that may never be let go.

Fan Shixuan was not a person who was good at disguising, although the changes in his expressions were subtle, they were not without trace, but he tried his best to restrain himself when he approached Mu Yuan.This restraint was deliberate, but it was enough in front of Mu Yuan who was a bit slow in this regard.When Fan Shixuan looked at Ji Jin, his eyes struggled a little, but he still cupped his hands slightly: "I have seen King Xin."

Ji Jin didn't take it seriously, smiled lightly, and said gently: "You don't need to be too polite, I often hear Yunzhi mentioning you two."

Seeing the two coming side by side, Mu Yuan couldn't help being curious after the initial surprise: "It's such a coincidence, did Shixuan and Miss Luyi also meet on the road?"

Lu Yi smiled: "That's not the case. Mr. Fan said he wanted to see the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the capital, but felt that being alone was very boring. Lu Yi also felt the same, so they made an appointment to come together. It was just a coincidence that I met Mr. "

Fan Shixuan nodded: "It's been more than ten years since I left the capital, and now there are very few people I know in the capital, and there are even few who can be called friends. For such a festive season, Yunzhi must have an appointment with a beautiful woman, so I have to trouble Miss Luyi to accompany her." I took a stroll."

A faint sense of shame arose in Mu Yuan's heart. He was thinking about Ji Jin in his heart, and he also carefully arranged for his younger siblings, but he ignored this friend.Come to think of it, they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Luyi glanced at Fan Shixuan lightly with a pair of wonderful eyes, and said with a playful smile: "With the most famous woman in the capital as company, is there any dissatisfaction with Mr. Fan?"

Fan Shixuan laughed, feeling that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't you dare? It's an honor to invite Miss Luyi."

A few jokes dispelled Mu Yuan's guilt, and the expressions of several people relaxed a lot.

Luyi said again: "I booked an elegant seat in Tingyu Tower in front. Sir, if you and the prince have no other arrangements, would you like to have a cup of tea together?"

Mu Yuan glanced at Ji Jin, Ji Jin rolled his eyelashes, nodded slightly with the corners of his mouth raised, and said, "I can't ask for it."

The private seat is set on the second floor of Tingyu Building, facing the window. The small balcony extending out is quite spacious. There is a long table, and four people sit on two sides, and the gorgeous street view is unobstructed.This is one of the best places to watch lanterns in the entire West Street. In previous years, even if Luyi wanted to book in advance, it was impossible. Thanks to several cooperations with Su Yuzhi, who is in charge of Tingyulou last year, with friendship, at the end of the year Before Su Yuzhi returned home, he specifically asked Lu Yi if he would come to visit the Lantern Festival in Shangyuan, and if he would like to stay in a private room.Master Su's intentions, and Lu Yi's intentions, were disrespectful.

Fan Shixuan, Luyi and Mu Yuan are already familiar with each other, so they don't care about being cautious.Although Ji Jin is in a high position, he has always been friendly to ordinary people, not to mention he has a relationship with Mu Yuan, so it is impossible for him to put on airs.As long as Ji Jin is willing, there will be no silence in the place where he is, and it can also make people feel like a spring breeze and at home invisibly.

Fan Shixuan has wandered around the rivers and lakes for many years, and Ji Jin also fought in the north and south. They are both well-informed people. It is easy to talk about what they have seen and heard from various places. Mu Yuan and Luyi have become the audience.

Fan Shixuan once again looked at Ji Jin with admiration. He was different from the people in the court he had seen and thought. He even began to think that if Ji Jin had already been in the court when that incident happened, maybe the ending would not be the same. So bleak.It's a pity that it's time and fate.And he was destined to embark on a blatant path.

After changing a cup of tea, Fan Shixuan suggested, "It would be a pity if we didn't talk about the beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day."

Lu Yi responded with a smile: "It's true."

Mu Yuan and Ji Jin also nodded.

Several people asked the shopkeeper to send a set of chess pieces.

A set of chess, four people, Luyi spread out the chessboard, a little embarrassed: "Who will play?"

Mu Yuan suddenly asked, "Do you want to play something special?"

Fan Shixuan asked, "What suggestion does Yun Zhi have?"

Mu Yuan smiled: "Have you tried four-handed chess?"

Fan Shixuan's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest, "How about a team of two, each taking a move?"

Mu Yuan smiled and nodded.

Fan Shixuan was very interested: "It sounds interesting, I want to play."

Lu Yi pursed her lips and smiled: "Count me in."

Ji Jin looked at Mu Yuan with a calm expression: "Listen to Yunzhi."

Fan Shixuan said: "In that case, Yun Zhi is naturally on the side of King Xin, then I will be with Miss Luyi."

Just right, there is no need to adjust the position.

Mu Yuan and Fan Yi guessed, and finally Fan Yi got the upper hand.

While exchanging chess boxes, Fan Shixuan said, "Let's follow the rules of no seats. Yun Zhi, can you decide how much is the first hand and the second is the eye?"

Mu Yuandao: "After more than two months of calculations on a large number of games, the Taimu has now been designated as Wumu by the Edict. And it follows the ancient system, changing white first to black first. After the first month, it should be announced to the world."

Fan Shixuan stopped exchanging chess boxes, and took back the black chess box: "Follow this rule over there."

Four-handed chess is still black and white, one side has one hand, but each side has two people, and the two play alternately.

Two people on the same side cannot communicate with each other. They can only follow the existing chess moves and try to get closer to each other's thinking. This is a test of mutual understanding and level.

In the first chess move, the sunspot Fang Fan Shixuan made a move, with a small eye in the upper right corner.

The second move, the white piece Fang Muyuan, in the corresponding position, is also a small opening goal.

The third move is Fang Luyi, the sunspot. In the past two months, the chances of her meeting and playing with Fan Shixuan have greatly exceeded the number of games she used to play with Mu Yuan. Affected by the wave of restructuring, there is no seat between them. It's just that the number of sub-chess has not been determined, but most of the time, they don't play to the end, and they are more concerned with the study of the opening and the middle game, and there is still some tacit understanding between them.After canceling the seat, they all like to start the game with double small eyes, and Lu Yi naturally made a wrong small eye in the lower right corner.

In the fourth move, Baizi Fang Jijin.Compared to the three professional chess players who face the chessboard every day, Ji Jin has much less opportunities to touch the chessboard, and his chess ability is also the lowest among the four. The only thing he can rely on is his understanding and tacit understanding with Mu Yuan.Ji Jin thought for a while, and placed himself in the star position.In his spare time, what he reads most is Mu Yuan's chess records. Besides His Majesty, Mu Yuan is also the person he plays the most games with. Apart from himself, he knows Mu Yuan's chess style best.

Next, the four of them moved alternately in order, and the black and white colors gradually increased on the chessboard.

If shogi power is quantified by winning percentage, the sum of Fan Shixuan and Lu Yi is better than the sum of Mu Yuan and Ji Jin. However, in a joint chess game that cannot communicate with each other, it cannot be simply calculated like this.

Fan Shixuan and Luyi's chess styles are not the same, or even similar.Luyi's chess strength is inferior to Fan Shixuan's, but the difference is not too big, so in the process of insisting on their own ideas and trying to get closer to each other's ideas, it is inevitable that they will consume each other.

Ji Jin naturally knows that he has no chance of winning against these three players in a single round of chess, but in this game, he is not fighting alone.In this world, no one knows Mu Yuan and Mu Yuan's chess better than him.Although he can't reach Mu Yuan's height on the chessboard, he can try to keep up with his thinking.After a game of chess, Ji Jin didn't play any particularly good moves, even a little mediocre in some places, not as good as his usual level. However, his moves didn't disrupt Mu Yuan's chess game even once. It can even be called a coup after the remedy.

Under the ebb and flow, there is not much suspense about the outcome of this game of chess.

Fan Shixuan was once again convinced. He looked at the tacit understanding between Mu Yuan and Ji Jin who looked at each other and smiled thoughtfully.

If it is said that before this, he was still a little dissatisfied, and he also thought about whether it would be different if the person who met Yunzhi earlier was himself.However, after this night of meeting, after this game of chess, he knew that he would never have a chance from the very beginning.He is confident that he can become Yun Zhi's best opponent in this life, but the other party is the one who can accompany Yun Zhi for a lifetime.

In this game of chess, there is not only a tacit understanding, but also a deep understanding, as well as concession and fulfillment.Although he has never faced Ji Jin alone in a game, Fan Yi believes that his chess style is definitely not as shown in this game, and this is his concession.This concession is to complete this game of chess with a unified way of chess, and finally win the game.

Fan Shixuan's expression was a bit complicated. He looked at Ji Jin and said sincerely: "I didn't expect the prince to be so good at chess every day. If there is a chance, I would like to ask the prince for a game alone."

Ji Jin smiled slightly: "I don't dare to ask for advice. There will be a chance."

After putting away the chessboard, the four of them sat down for a while, drank a few cups of tea, and Mu Yuan prepared to take a step ahead with Ji Jin.

Lu Yi asked: "Sir and the prince are going back now?"

Mu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I want to go to the Denghe that Miss Luyi mentioned before with Shenzhi to have a look."

Luyi immediately understood, and covered her lips with a smile: "It is said that lovers who put lanterns on the Lantern River and pray will get their wishes fulfilled. It is very effective!"

Mu Yuan was a little embarrassed, his face flushed slightly: "It's just like what the girl said."

Luyi got up, bowed gracefully, and said with a smile: "Then Luyi wishes the two of you in advance, that you will be together forever."

Mu Yuan replied, "Thank you."

Ji Jin suddenly said: "At that time, I will also invite Miss Luyi to have a glass of turbid wine."

Lu Yi was surprised: "Is it possible?"

Ji Jin smiled: "Of course. The king will send an invitation to the girl."

Tears flickered in Luyi's eyes, and she bowed deeply: "Thank you, my lord!"

Luyi knew very well in her heart that with this invitation from Prince Xin's Mansion, she would be able to secure her life and security. Not only in Baiyulou, but also in the entire capital, and in Daqi, no one would be able to humiliate her.

Fan Yi also got up and said, "Yun Zhi, I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow, and I'll ask you for a drink when I come back when you get married."

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Mu Yuan and Ji Jin went downstairs, and waved to the two who were watching them from the balcony. It wasn't until they walked far away that they couldn't feel the gaze on them.

Ji Jin said with emotion: "Miss Luyi is so smart and considerate, she really is a rare and wonderful woman."

Mu Yuan nodded: "I only hope that she can be safe and happy in this life, and seek benevolence and benevolence."

Ji Jin looked at him sideways: "Yun Zhi, have you really never been tempted?"

Mu Yuan stopped and looked at Ji Jin seriously and seriously: "Is Shen Zhi doubting my sincerity?"

Ji Jin smiled, shook his head and said, "How is it possible! I just feel a little bit sorry for her."

Mu Yuan was silent for a while, and slowly said: "Nine out of ten regrets in this world. My heart is really small, and I can't hold anyone else except Shen Zhi."

A gust of night wind blew by, blowing up the scattered hair and flickering lights, and the eyes that reflected the fire were hot and firm.

Ji Jin has never felt so lucky at this moment, he quietly held Mu Yuan's hand, lowered his eyes and murmured: "I am so lucky!"

After walking for a while, Ji Jin asked seemingly unintentionally: "In Yun Zhi's heart, what is Fan Shixuan like?"

Mu Yuan smiled from the bottom of his heart: "When I met Shixuan for the first time, we fell in love with each other, not only because he is a good chess player, but also because he is a very interesting person. I also told Shenzhi about our first meeting. , When I think about it, I find it thrilling and interesting. At that time, thanks to Shenzhi who left Commander Ling, we were saved from a disaster. I am very happy to be able to become close friends with Shixuan."

Ji Jin emphasized: "Is it just a close friend?"

Mu Yuan was puzzled: "Otherwise? Should there be anything else?"

Ji Jin suddenly smiled: "It's nothing. I just suddenly thought, I am so close to His Majesty, would Yun Zhi feel...dissatisfied?"

Mu Yuan smiled and said: "How could it be! Shenzhi said that you and Your Majesty are not only monarchs and ministers, but also brothers and family members. I am very happy that Your Majesty can protect you like this."

Ji Jin said: "Yun Zhi, has anyone ever told you how rare your childish heart is?!"

"Yes, I have."

"who?"

"Be careful with you."

The two stopped, looked at each other and laughed.

When we arrived at the Lantern River, the river surface was already full of praying lantern boats, which were dimly shadowed, warm and romantic.

The two bought a small lightboat each, wrote their prayers on them, put them in the river, and watched the lightboat drift away slowly.

Standing on the river bank, Ji Jin asked, "What did Yun Zhi write?"

Mu Yuan said: "If you pray, it is said that it will not work."

"Then don't say it." Ji Jin said, "But even if you don't say it, I know what it is?"

"What is it?"

Ji Jin looked at him and smiled: "It's the same as me."

Mu Yuan also smiled and said, "May your heart be like mine!"

Just turned around, and met Lu Zijun and Mu Yushang who had just finished setting off the river lantern, and then met Mu Hong who didn't know where he was. On the way here, he picked up Yan Yu, Tian Yuan and Mo Yan, and the lights on the street It has fallen a lot, and the Shangyuan Festival is about to pass.

After the first month, February and March followed.

And at the end of March, the most grand event in the entire capital was the wedding of King Xin and Chief Mu.
