"I am You Zhiyuan kneeling down and saying:

I am a member of the Confucian scholar who has received the grace of the saint, and has no size to repay him. I am ashamed and horrified. I am so grateful and frightened that I am so grateful. However, I am so desperate that I dare not deceive the superiors. The changes in Yunzhou are actually the achievements of a strange woman. The details of this are not something that can be said. I dare to bow again, begging Your Majesty to see the saint in the Kaiming Palace to repay the emperor. I tell the words and prove the rules clearly, and I am so terrified that I respect you."

In the grand hall with red railings and golden thresholds, Yang Yangjing lowered her head and arms to the minister. He listened to the eunuchs reciting the memorial presented by the governor of the small prefectures on the border, and looked at each other.

Yunzhou, which is on the border of the enemy country, has been easy to attack and difficult to defend, but the next stronghold is the famous "Gao without coming back". The late emperor died of illness and various forces are ready to move. Foreign enemies take the opportunity to invade. In order to preserve the strength of the border, the Regent Dong Ruixiang had no choice but to order the general stationed in the border to abandon Yunzhou. This abandonment lasted for twenty years. Although the court issued food and silver subsidies every year, Yunzhou, which had no heavy troops, had become a good place for barbarians to loot. The people of Yunzhou have been suffering. Over time, Yunzhou has become a place for the imperial court to exile criminals.

They never took this useless place to heart. However, a month ago, the two sons of the Kumeng Man Kingdom suddenly heard that they tried hard to lead the killer to sneak into Yunzhou, trying to kill the city to sacrifice to the evil gods and attack our great Jingjiang Mountains. They thought they were sweating coldly. Fortunately, the magistrate was alert and helped by a martial arts master. They were in danger. It happened that the sixth prince Dong Jingchen and the mighty general Huang Ling defeated the barbarian army and promoted the prestige of the country. The emperor was very happy and immediately gave a speech, and promoted the magistrate of Yunzhou to two levels, and ordered him to come to the court to listen to the title, and hereby rewards.

This is a great honor. A sesame official will receive this honor and come to Beijing to meet the saint. The whole clan will be proud and become a trend.

Who knew that the magistrate actually wrote another book today, and he pushed the story of glorifying his ancestors that others could not even ask for money, and was it because of a mere slut that the vixen was fascinated by the vixen?

"What do you think?" The noble young emperor who was in high throne of the temple sat upright on the golden throne of the dragon playing with pearls, with a bright yellow stone and green robe on the brocade, five-clawed golden dragon entrenched, surrounded by auspicious clouds. At this moment, the crown bead curtain on his forehead was swaying, making people unable to see the supreme appearance under the pearl.

"Your Majesty, I think that if you are traveling to the prefecture to abandon great achievements and select wise men, this woman must be extraordinary. I think she must be a Taoist fairy family in a hidden city. Even if you are a woman and a child, you can also treat the wise men. In this way, the people in the world will know that Your Majesty cherishes people." A minister came out with a scepter.

Before he finished speaking, another minister took a big step forward, "I believe that you must not. How can such a strange woman have been there in ancient times? I think it is because Lord You have other intentions. I hope Your Majesty can understand clearly. Such a clumsy lie is not credible. If you lead a foolish woman to the court to meet the saint, wouldn't it be criticized?"

"Your Majesty is wise. I think you should find out the truth and talk about right and wrong again."

As a result, political views were disagreeable and each person followed the argument, and no court officials compromised, and debate began.

After a moment, the noble emperor, who was tired of quarrel, moved his body. With just one light move, he gave way to the high-powered courtiers and stood up in silence.

"Who is You Zhiyuan?" the emperor asked lightly.

"Report to Your Majesty," the Minister of Personnel stepped out with his scepter. "Your Lord You was the top scholar in the eighth year of Tianhe, and he was only eighteen years old and wrote a brush in the Golden Palace. He presented seven points to the military service to the previous emperor. The previous emperor personally gave the fourth rank to the official official. In the second year of Yuanhe, he was demoted to the prefect of Yunzhou due to a dispute over his party."

The emperor's slender fingers lightly on the gilded dragon head, and said for a moment of silence: "Tomorrow, I will announce the meeting of this girl." After slowly speaking, the emperor stood up and went down to court.

"Retreat the court for nothing——" The eunuch's long and loud voice rang out.

"Long live my emperor--" The court officials hurriedly bowed and delivered in unison, resounding throughout the hall, with a lingering sound.

Chapter 1

Two months ago—

Jingchao border Yunzhou

It was July when the fire was flowing. Although the heat began to fade, the land of the scenery was still stuffy. However, in a small forest on the border, dense sky and trees rose and fell one after another, covering the earthy mountain tightly, without even a little sunshine and stars. Even the wind blowing into the mountains was filled with a cool feeling of being isolated from the world. The sound of horse hooves sounded in the quiet forest, and three men came in dust.

"Sixth Master, we have been traveling for a few hours. I think we are not far away. Why not take a break here?" The person who spoke was a burly man in black, probably in his early thirties, with a scar of long fingers on his rough face and a big knife around his waist.

He respected as Sixth Master, but he was a young man who was just as handsome as the twentieth prince. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked painful, "Okay, my bones are almost falling apart."

Following the back was a pretty servant. He looked ahead with sharp eyes and said, "Sixth Master, there is a pavilion there."

"Okay, go to the pavilion to have a drink."

The three of them whipped, and within a moment, they arrived at the simple stone pavilion that the servant pointed to. A white shadow appeared in sight. The three of them fixed their eyes, but unexpectedly, there was a person sitting in the desolate mountain pavilion, and they were also a famous woman.

The woman sat alone on the stone bench with her back straightened. She wore a long moon-white dress with a light breeze. Her long black hair that reached her waist was tied back behind her head with a moon-white ribbon. She raised her slender arms slightly, and her jade fingers fell lightly, as if she was playing... chess?

The man in black was surprised and asked loudly, "Girl, why are you doing here alone in such a deserted mountain or ridge?"

Hearing the call, the woman looked up in surprise, showing a beautiful little face, with only a pair of heroic eyebrows, and looked extremely angry. She looked at the three of them with bright eyes, and then slowly said, "I am playing chess with my husband."

"It turns out to be a wife, it's rude," the man in black was a little embarrassed. It seemed that the lady was a bride and she didn't even tie her hair up. "I just don't know where the husband is?" Isn't she a weak woman afraid of bandits?

With a pretty eyebrows raised, she said in confusion: "Isn't he just sitting opposite me?" She pointed to the empty position opposite her. Seeing the three of them with different expressions, she slowly showed strange smiles, "Huh? You can't see my husband, but you can see me?"

In an instant, the birds sing and insects cries suddenly stopped.

A gust of cold wind rose, and layers of green branches behind the woman swayed in the wind, and some stone tablets appeared high and low.

Therefore, the wife is...the tombstone! The servant couldn't help but gasp, and his hair stood up, and he said faithfully: "Sixth Master, be careful!"

"Hahaha--" A hearty laughter sounded in the quiet and gloomy woods, which immediately made people feel that the dark clouds faded away and saw the sunshine.

The master and servant looked at the woman who smiled so strangely that she had almost revealed her twelve teeth, and there was almost a black line on her forehead.

"Ouch," the woman stroked her stomach with a painful smile, "Young master, you really support me." Do you really treat her as a mountain girl?

The servant stared at the indecent lady in a daze, as if he couldn't believe there was such a woman in this world.

"Hahaha, little lady, your move is interesting." The young man in blue was also stunned, and then laughed. This move is good, not bad.

The woman in white lit up her eyes and sighed infinitely, "The mountains and rivers are flowing, and it is hard to find a soulmate!" Those people always don't understand her pleasure.

"What a pity, there are not many people who know about the fun in it." The young man expressed deep regret.

The woman in white met too late, "I didn't expect that she would meet her confidant by chance. This is fate!"

A black line appeared on the forehead of the man in black and the servant. This lady must be a businessman, right?

When he walked into the pavilion, the young man in blue looked closely. The woman in front of him was not considered as beautiful, but her pair of heroic thin eyebrows and bright eyes were extremely difficult to ignore.

"I wonder where the young masters came from and where they went?" Oh, she accidentally asked an ultimate philosophical question. She was so profound. But don't answer that comes from nature, and she will collapse.

"We came from Changzhou and wanted to go to Yunzhou to find people." said the man in black.

"Oh..." The woman nodded in a clear way. Usually, few people came to the small area of ​​the border, and most of them were looking for people like them, because Yunzhou was originally the place where Jingchao exiled. Except for the people who lived here for generations, they were all exiled.

"I think you are going to Yunzhou too, but a few of you took the fork in the road. The first fork in the forest turned left is the way to Yunzhou City."

"Huh?" The young man was surprised and exchanged a look with the man in black, "You little lady is serious about this?"

"Of course, you are lucky to meet me. If you walk straight on this road, you will break into the grave, which is a forbidden area that locals dare not break into."

"How do you say this?" The young man became interested when he heard this.

"Yunzhou has been fighting for many years, and there are too many lonely ghosts. I heard that the thousand-year-old ghosts in the mountains gathered a crowd of mobs, and they specifically found passers-by who broke into the mountains, ate their flesh, and then absorbed their souls to practice demonic techniques." The woman said mysteriously.

The servant looked bad when he heard this. He always felt that the forest was too gloomy. It turned out...

"Is there really a ghost?" Another hearing official was in a very good mood, and saw the young man whispering his hands and eager to try, "My master, I have never seen what a ghost looks like. Ziling, let's go and meet those ghosts!"

"Young Master is interested? Then I will go back and get the evil-proof sword from my family's ancestors. How about we go to catch ghosts together?" The woman happily suggested when she heard this.

"It's just my wish!" The young man stroked his palm.

The black line on my forehead was even worse, and the man in black had to speak, "Sixth Master, is there something wrong with this...?"

A faint sentence made the young master feel like a deflated ball, "Forget it, just don't go."

Seeing that handsome face showed a childish expression of agitated expression, the woman had a regretful expression on her face, she kindly advised: "It's not too late to go when she finds someone." She casually glanced at the rough man standing behind the young man in blue like a mountain, and suddenly stopped gaze. She didn't notice it when she was far away. There was a familiar atmosphere on him, which was nostalgic.

She let out a light breath, her eyes staring at him with a complex soft light.

It can be said that since he was injured, no woman dared to look directly at his hideous face, but he did not find any timidity and disgust in the sight of the woman in front of him.

But this look...is it too explicit for women? The man in black couldn't help but speak, "Madam, is there anything on his face?"

He suddenly returned to his senses, and the woman coughed lightly, "I'm rude, I just look at the face of the young master... If I join the army, I will definitely be the honor of the general in the future... I am really a good match for the woman!"

The three of them had a bit of weathered expression and no sense of inconsistency! This was clearly a conceited statement that was inconsistent with the foreword. Why was it accompanied by her kind and kind smile that almost seemed to help her daughter see her son-in-law, but it was very harmonious and harmonious.

In the end, the person involved was a little calmer, "With his wife's praise, Huang was ashamed of being accused of being a guard. He was just a guard and dared not imagine such ambition."

"Whether that is, it's good, it's good to be the top pick."

He seemed to feel a little strange, and the woman laughed dryly, "It turns out that the young master's surname is Huang, and his husband's surname is Li, just call me Mrs. Li. I wonder what these two young masters are called?"

"Huh? Are you really married?" The young man said with a straightforward and rude manner. He thought this was also her lie, after all, he had never seen such a woman without virtue.

Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled, "So do I look so young? The young man is really good at speaking. I am old and I have become an old girl before I get married!"

...The expression and tone look like a girl's house. She even said that she is old? It's probably just a young age.

Most noble women in the Jing Dynasty married at fifteen, while ordinary girls at most eighteen need to choose husbands, otherwise they may not be able to marry again.

The young master knew that he had made a mistake, so he touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "It's so rude, I hope my wife won't be surprised. Leng Ziqing, Changzhou, is polite."

"Young Master Leng, lucky to know." Mrs. Li smiled politely, looked up at the servant waiting for him to report his own home.

Unexpectedly, after a silence, the servant didn't even raise his head.

"Is there anything wrong with me, a little servant? Madam." Seeing that she looked at the servant for a long time, the young man Leng Liqing asked in confusion.

"Huh? I just..." I suddenly remembered something, and Mrs. Li's eyes flashed, and she smiled helplessly, "I just wanted him to hand me the basket, but I didn't know what to call it."

"Oh, Madam is so polite, just call him just by calling him." The young man in blue winked, and the handsome servant hurriedly brought the bamboo basket at his feet to her.

Mrs. Li smiled gratefully, took the basket and looked at him, "Thank you..."

"My wife has broken the young man, and her little man is famous for being a lucky man." The servant still lowered his eyes and looked down.

"Hello." Mrs. Li replied politely to the person who introduced her to her.

The servant Wanfu's head drooped even lower.

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the guard named Huang.

The young master looked down at a jade pot and two jade cups placed on the stone table. It was crystal clear and looked like a top-quality one. The noble master who saw many of these things skipped by indifferently. Seeing the chessboard carved on the table and the chess pieces placed on it, his eyes lit up, "Madam, are you playing chess?"

Chapter 2

"Well, yes." Seeing that he was interested, Mrs. Li seemed very happy. People who love chess really have a feeling that it is better to have fun with everyone. It is best for everyone to like to play, so it will be even more fun to play chess.
