Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Under normal circumstances, with such a big commotion in Chunyi Tower, all forces should have taken action.

But things in the world are often unexpected. After this happened, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Obviously, there was a murder, but the people from the Dali Temple didn't show up, as if they didn't know anything. Obviously, the army should have been out to investigate the cause, but the Ministry of War disappeared, as if they knew nothing about it. Even the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't make any movement, as if they were watching a good show.

But only those who have experienced it personally know how many undercurrents there are in a day.

"Xia Yin lost."

The prime minister sat in front of the chessboard, watching the white pieces being gradually eaten away by the black pieces, and said calmly, "The defeat was complete."

"normal."

Yao Heng took out a black flag and put it aside, and the momentum of slaying the dragon was formed. He raised his head and said gently: "No matter how strong your Xia Yin is, it is not as strong as the Tang Sect with a thousand years of history. This is within your expectations, isn't it?"

No words, just a word.

Looking at the chess piece at the dragon's beard, Yao Heng shook his head and sighed:

"The Prime Minister is very courageous. Xia Yin is extremely precious. Each of them is a genius cultivated with great effort. They can be called a pair of good hands. The Prime Minister dared to cut off his own arm based on his intuition. Yao admires him."

"Intuition?"

The prime minister looked at the chessboard and said calmly, "Some people play chess recklessly and catch their opponents off guard. Some people are very careful and plan their moves carefully, always taking their opponents' thoughts into account."

Looking up at Yao Heng's purple eyes, the Prime Minister asked:

"Who are you afraid of?"

“I’m not afraid.”

Yao Heng shook his head and said calmly: "Charging recklessly is nothing but bluffing to disrupt the opponent's mind. Being meticulous and cautious is just calculating against yourself."

"What are you afraid of?"

The prime minister asked again.

"I'm only afraid of one kind of person."

Looking at the chessboard where the black piece, which was originally a powerful force, was killed by an inconspicuous white piece, Yao Heng sighed, slowly raised his head, and said softly:
"Be decisive and calculated, be brave and careful, combine the real and the fake, and have no taboos."

“That’s just the kind of person he is.”

The prime minister said indifferently: "Knowing that Chunyi Tower and I have close ties, you acted directly without any hesitation. This is reckless. Arrange the three camps in advance, let Yu Qian go north and the King of Han go south, and block the two major passes to prevent people from my palace from entering. This is meticulous."

"After realizing that the people in the building could not affect my foundation, I immediately let them go. This is the plan. The people who were released are under the surveillance of the Tang Sect. This is the plan."

"On the surface, they wanted to find something to hold against me, but in reality, their real purpose was to attack one group, win over another group, and kill another group. It was a combination of reality and illusion."

"They dare to kill people, dare to let tigers go back to the mountains, and dare to use heavy punishments in times of chaos. There is no taboo."

"Tell me, can I use this person to deal with an immature organization created by an immature person seven years ago?"

The chess piece has been placed.

All the game loses.

On the dragon-slaying chessboard, the black piece had already lost all its luck. Yao Heng let out a long breath, shook his head, and said with a smile:
"As expected of the world's best chess player, Master Liang is still as elegant as ever."

"You know I don't have a name."

The prime minister raised his eyes and said calmly, "Master Yao, how are your affairs going?"

"almost."

Yao Heng smiled and said, "I didn't expect your methods to be so...brutal." "That's enough."

The prime minister ignored Yao Heng's careless "offense" and just put away a chess piece, saying: "He can block all the means I can think of. I also have countermeasures for all the means he can think of."

"But the same thing is that these actions are meaningless and the only people they can harm are other people."

Zhou Li looked at everyone and said calmly: "We are now two giants, punching each other continuously. No matter how we attack each other, the opponent will counterattack as expected."

"you mean···"

Tang Wan, who was standing by, understood Zhou Li instantly and asked in surprise, "Give up the attack on the prime minister?"

"Yes."

Zhou Li nodded and said calmly: "Similarly, we will not defend completely."

“Continue to win over the centrists, crack down on the opposition, and protect the supporters.”

After a pause, Zhou Li continued, "But there will never be another large-scale confrontation like the one between the Tang Sect and Xia Yin."

"why?"

Shangguan Hong didn't understand, "Why don't we pursue the victory?"

"How can we pursue without victory?"

Sighing, Zhou Li slowly said: "The Tang Sect won, Xia Yin died, but the Prime Minister did not lose. We checked Xia Yin's various accounts, and all the expenses and income began to stabilize four years ago, without any increase or decrease. This means that the Prime Minister gave up Xia Yin as early as four years ago."

"why?"

Shangguan Hong was even more confused, "Xia Yin is so strong, why would he give up?"

"The chancellor doesn't need white gloves now."

Zhou Li shook his head and said, "He has many white gloves, such as the Minister of War, the Chief of the Dali Temple, or the Imperial Guards who have almost become his private soldiers. Although Xia Yin's existence can be regarded as a help, it is too shady. Moreover, the prime minister made too many wrong decisions when he established Xia Yin, including the composition of the organization and the distribution of various personnel. It seemed okay at the time, but now it is a mess."

"If the prime minister keeps using Xia Yin to do things, Xia Yin, who already has problems, will easily get into trouble and implicate the prime minister. Therefore, even though he has kept Xia Yin for seven years and never touched these people, he directly chooses to make a heroic move and use the Tang Sect to get rid of Xia Yin."

Yu Sui was shocked. "With such a large organization, isn't he afraid of being betrayed?"

"How betrayal?"

Tang Wan said solemnly, "They are all dead. These people have a clean background and have never done anything dirty. Apart from cultivation, they have no possibility of committing any crime. The tongues we caught can't say anything at all. Even if they do say anything, it's all useless things from four years ago."

“I really want to.”

Yu Sui sighed: "Such a large organization gave it as soon as it said it would."

"So, this is such a garbage time."

Zhou Li looked at the clock and said softly, "Until the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the Prime Minister and I will not make any big moves. We will no longer engage in exploratory exchanges, nor will we engage in intrigue or hypocrisy."

The chessboard was put away, and the prime minister stood up. He looked at the various flowers blooming in the garden, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly:
"Next, there is only one thing left."

"Gather all your strength, find all the helpers, and then..."

Zhou Li and the prime minister looked at each other.

in unison.

"One battle will decide the outcome." (End of this chapter)
