After entering the study, Li Ke looked around.
He realized that the study room was quite spacious and bright.
There were quite a few ancient military books on display, as well as military deduction maps and Go boards!
"Virtuous son-in-law, do you know that someone from the Great Tang has sent a supreme expert to harm you?”
Xu Xiao said to Li Ke after sitting down.
Li Ke, who was still observing the environment of the study, was attracted by Xu Xiao's words.
What? Someone from the Great Tang sent assassins to assassinate me? And a f * cking top-notch expert!
I didn't know about this! father in law
Li Ke still maintained a calm expression on his face. The elegant smile on his face did not change.
He seemed to be unfazed and had the boldness of a person who would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him!
But inside, his thoughts were in turmoil!
I'm already married into Beihan!
There are still people in the Great Tang who want my life!
Who was so vicious!
One by one, figures appeared in Li Ke's mind and quickly disappeared.
Very quickly! A person's figure stopped in Li Ke's mind!
Zhangsun Wuji!
He thought back to the time when he left for Beihan and the poisoned wine that he had been given.
Li Ke felt that no one was more suspicious than Zhangsun Wuji!
That old dog must have found out that he was still alive and well in Beihan.
He even sent a top expert over to take his life!
What a vicious old dog!
He didn't know what kind of hatred the original body had with the other party!
That Sword Immortal Xue Yue who was complaining on the walls of Beihan City wasn't your only daughter!
Was there a need to keep staring at him?
Hmph, hmph, old dog, just you wait!
When I get the net and night, I'll teach you a lesson!
After thinking this through, Li Ke found a chair opposite Xu Xiao and sat down.
"Father-in-law, I'm afraid that this assassin was sent by the Prime Minister of the Great Tang, Zhangsun Wuji!”
As he said this, Li Ke still had a calm expression on his face, as if the target of the assassin was not him at all.
He didn't take the other party's top-notch experts seriously at all.
Li Ke's calm temperament made Xu Xiao sigh in admiration.
As expected of a great talent with the potential of a Confucian Saint. This bearing was indeed extraordinary!
Even though he knew that Beihan had a peerless master lurking around to assassinate him, his expression did not change!
"You don't have to worry about the killer. Father will help you find out the other party's identity.”
Xu Xiao said. The Imperial Residence of Beihan had to shoulder the responsibility for Li Ke!
After all, Li Ke was now the son-in-law of the Northern Frost King's residence. How could he let others trample on him?
"Then this little son-in-law will thank father-in-law.”
Li Ke stood up and cupped his hands in thanks.
Although with his current strength, he was not much weaker than that top expert.
But after all, the other party was in the dark while he was in the light.
Without the support of information, he was still at a disadvantage.
Moreover, this "Human Butcher" Xu Xiao was so concerned about the safety of his son-in-law.
He ought to thank him seriously.
Xu Xiao received this bow and stroked his beard as he smiled,"As for your safety, I will send experts to protect you in secret.”
"Alright! Father needs to deal with military and political matters, so you can go anywhere you want.”
After saying that, Xu Xiao flipped open a book on the table.
He was prepared to think about it carefully.
After thinking deeply about the important matters in the book for the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Xu Xiao felt that something was wrong and raised his head.
His son-in-law was still in the study, lying on a mahogany chair.
"You…" Xu Xiao said helplessly. Why are you still here? Didn't I say that someone would protect you?”
F * ck... Do you think I want to stay here…
Li Ke was much more helpless than Xu Xiao, but he couldn't say the exact reason.
He could only think of a way to stay here.
He glanced at the Go board in the study and suddenly thought of something.
"I've been in the residence for more than a month, but I haven't talked much with father-in-law…"
Seeing that Xu Xiao was also thinking about the interactions between his son-in-law and his son-in-law in the past month, Li Ke continued,
"The sun is warm today, and the weather is very good. I also heard that father-in-law is proficient in black and white Go. Why don't we play here? How is it?"
Seeing Li Ke pointing at the Go board in the study, Xu Xiao was also a little tempted.
Ever since Li Ke married into the prince's residence, the two of them had indeed not interacted much.
If he was not familiar with Li Ke before, it would be fine.
However, this son-in-law had the potential to be a Confucian saint.
In time, he would become the pillar of the Northern Frost King's residence!
How could he not get closer to the other party?
Xu Xiao said," That's good. Why don't we move the chessboard to the old tree in the courtyard and sit down to play chess?"”
As he spoke, Xu Xiao was about to order his soldiers to move the chessboard into the courtyard.
Li Ke hurriedly went to the chessboard to block it.
They couldn't move it to the courtyard. How could they play basketball in the courtyard?
The hang-up point was in this study room. Wouldn't he be messing around in the courtyard?
Who really wants to cultivate a brother-in-law relationship with you? I just want to stay in this study room.
Facing Xu Xiao's strange expression, Li Ke forced a calm smile and said:
"The Dao of Go is like a confrontation between two armies on the battlefield!”
He then pointed at the vast collection of military books around him and said,"Naturally, it is only in this place where the treasures of war books are gathered that the meaning can be revealed!”
After hearing this, Xu Xiao carefully considered it.
He also felt that Li Ke's words made sense!
He no longer mentioned the matter of playing chess in the courtyard.
He sat down in front of the chessboard and waited for Li Ke to come over and decide who was black and who was white. Then, they would fight on the chessboard.
When Li Ke saw this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
At least he managed to persuade his father-in-law.
He sat on the opposite side of the chessboard and prepared to play chess with Xu Xiao.
He looked at the two chess pieces, one black and one white.
Li Ke gently pushed the black chess piece to Xu Xiao and said,"Father-in-law, elders are respected.”
According to the rules of Go, the player with the black chess piece would go first.
When Xu Xiao saw this, he brought the box containing the black chess pieces closer and said,"Oh? Was he so confident in his chess skills?”
Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to give the black chess piece to him, Xu Xiao thought that this son-in-law's talent was also extraordinary!
Presumably, the path of Go was one of the best in the world.
If his father-in-law didn't get the first move advantage, he would be able to kill him.
It was inevitable that he would be killed by his son-in-law. At that time, wouldn't he lose face?
Thinking of this, Xu Xiao took the black piece and waited patiently!
In fact, Li Ke did not think of this. In fact, he had never played Go properly.
He played a lot of Gomoku.
It didn't matter to him whether he had the advantage of going first or not.
Since that was the case, why not take the initiative to give the black chess piece to the other party?
It was also good to show that he was magnanimous.
However, it was impossible to drag it out for half a month just by playing chess.
After all, he had to eat and sleep in this study room!
So what if his chess skills were extraordinary?
This father-in-law was not a chess fanatic!
How could she pester him to play chess for half a month?
Since that was the case, he could only think of another way!
He wanted to think of something that would interest Xu Xiao.
In fact, when he mentioned the matter of playing chess, Li Ke had already thought of something that could make Xu Xiao forget to eat and sleep.
That was the art of war!
As a commander who had dominated the battlefield for decades!
He had personally experienced countless wars!
For such a person, martial arts manuals might not be attractive to him.
There was no need to mention the good way to govern the country.
Only the art of war was something that Xu Xiao couldn't give up!
It was also what he desired the most!
After coming to the chessboard and sitting down, Li Ke had already searched through all the great works related to the art of war in his mind.
Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wu Tzu's Art of War, and even Zhuge Liang's General's Garden.
He had considered all of them, but in the art of war.
The principles contained within were too complicated, and many of them leaned towards philosophy. It was difficult to verbally express their subtlety.
When Li Ke's finger touched the white chess piece, he finally decided to show off the art of war!
Thirty-six Tactics!
Perhaps his other name was more familiar.
That was the Thirty-Six Stratagems!
This method was easy to understand, and it also had the secrets of the art of war.
He used this to arouse Xu Xiao's interest, so that he could stay in the study for half a month.
It shouldn't be difficult…
