Chapter 16: Breaking the Deadlock

After three days, the heads hanging on the city gate were removed, and the boiling emotions in the city gradually subsided, and they returned to the past, and only a few people talked about it after tea and dinner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

That night, Mengxue sent people out early and waited anxiously.

With a squeak, the bookshelf opened, and a tall and thin man walked out from behind, with a resolute face, not smiling, walking slowly, also dressed in black.

Meng Xue saw the person who came and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Ancient Hall Master!"

"I heard you want to see me, or you won't accept the task, huh?"

The man said coldly.

When Meng Xue heard this, she knelt down hurriedly and said in a trembling voice: "Hall Master, Meng Xue has entered the Jing Hall since she was eight years old, and she has been taught and cultivated by the Hall Master, so that I can avoid the pain of displacement, but I have also done a lot of things for the Jing Hall in the past ten years, and there is no merit and hard work, Hall Master, can I ...... it."

"What the hell do you want to say?" the ancient hall master asked impatiently when he saw that Meng Xue couldn't come up with a reason.

Meng Xue bit her lip, closed her eyes and said, "I want to exchange this mission for a free body, please fulfill the hall master." After saying that, his head touched the ground again and again.

"If you want to leave the Jing Hall, do you know that the consequence of leaving is nine deaths?" said the Ancient Hall Master in surprise when he heard this.

"I know that I will be chased and killed nine times, and if I can get away with it, I can only be incognito for the rest of my life, but Mengxue is willing to win once and ask the hall master to fulfill it. Mengxue looked at the man pleadingly.

After pondering for a long time, the ancient hall master asked, "You are just for that poor scholar, don't you regret it?"

"Mengxue wants to try it, and asks the hall master to fulfill it. Mengxue said firmly.

"Well, as long as this thing gets done, I can turn a blind eye. But as you know, the person who is chasing and killing is not from our Jingtang, and I can't interfere. After speaking, the ancient hall master turned around and left.

"I'll send it off, maybe it's the last time we'll see each other. Mengxue got up and said.

The ancient hall master didn't say anything, and Meng Xue followed silently.

The secret passage behind the bookshelf leads to the back door of the floating white building, and when I pass through the back window of the firewood room, I hear a noise coming from inside: "Please, don't let my sister pick up guests, I can do anything, I will, I can ......" After a while, he continued: "Is it okay to play chess? Yes, I am very good at chess." A slightly immature voice said.

"Haha...... Haha......" A sharp voice remembered: "I still want you to go to heaven and earth, play chess? Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, which girl in my building can't know, it's good if I don't let you pick up customers."

Your sister doesn't know anything, doesn't pick up customers, and lets the old lady raise her for nothing? Pull me out and dress up to pick up customers. ”

"Don't, don't ......"

"Please, me, I'm really good at chess?"

"Pull me out. ”

All kinds of voices were mixed together, and Meng Xue was no longer surprised, but the ancient hall master stood thoughtfully.

After thinking for a while, he said to Mengxue, take that girl and see how her chess skills are, if it is as she said, you still have a chance of life.

"What?" Meng Xue asked suspiciously.

"It's the people of the Shadow Gate who are chasing you, and I haven't seen their hall master either, but I heard that he wants to accept disciples from the Gate, and he must have a talent in swordsmanship and chess. The game I asked you to try to break at the beginning was to see if you were qualified to enter the eyes of the Shadow Gate Master, but it was a pity that ...... "It's a pity that the Ancient Hall Master didn't say anything."

Meng Xue also knew that she couldn't crack it, so it was estimated that the hall master would stop thinking about it. Then he asked, "If this girl can crack it, can she let me go if she sends it to the shadow gate?"

"It can only be said that there is a glimmer of hope, whether it will be achieved or not depends on the will of God, you can do it yourself. Also, if you need help with the things entrusted to you, you can still find Luoque. After speaking, the ancient hall master left.

Meng Xue stood in place and thought for a moment, then went around to the front door of the firewood room and said, "Mother Qiu, Mother Qiu." ”

"Ouch, girl, why did you come out, don't blow it on this cold day? What about those dead girls, why don't you know how to take care of it?" Qiu's mother heard the shout and went out to take a look, and saw that it was Mengxue, and asked with concern.

"It's so stuffy in the house, I came out to breathe, and I told them not to follow. Mother Qiu, is this training people?" Meng Xue asked casually.

"Yes, now these little girls are very arrogant, and they are quite capable of blowing without any skills.

Even if you blow out a flower, you have to give it to the old lady......

Oh, no, it's for Mother Qiu and I to pick up guests, and I can't spend this silver in vain, right?"

Qiu's mother said that she was smooth and quickly changed her words.

"What will that girl do?" Meng Xue asked nonchalantly.

"Said that he would solve the Zhenlong chess game, who has few hands in this chess game from the girl in our building. Qiu's mother said proudly.

"Oh, I just don't need a girl to play with, Mother Qiu might as well give her to me. Mengxue cut off Qiu's mother's verbosity.

"This, this ......" Qiu's mother was embarrassed.

Meng Xue withdrew a bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Qiu's mother's hand.

"How good is this, this building is all girls', it's not a matter of a word to ask for a little girl, how can you use such a valuable bracelet. Qiu's mother seemed to be respectful, but she was clutching the bracelet in her hand.

Meng Xue knew Mother Qiu's virtues, and said indifferently: "Mother Qiu is polite, why did you buy it."

Can I take her then?"

"Yes, yes. Qiu's mother responded and ordered her subordinates to bring the girl out.

Meng Xue saw the girl look up and look into those dark eyes, which were stunning for a moment, a pair of beautiful eyes.

"I heard you're good at chess, come with me. Mengxue said softly.

That girl was Han Yue, who was sold again yesterday, and she looked at the beautiful sister in front of her, and she was cordial. prayed: "Sister Beauty, save my sister, don't let her pick up guests, we will do anything, as long as you don't ......"

Mengxue looked at Qiu's mother, and Qiu's mother gave the thug a look and brought out the flower language.

The two followed Mengxue to the second floor, and when they met Mengxue's girl Xiaoli, Mengxue instructed Xiaoli to take the two of them to get acquainted with them first, and then take them to their embroidery room.

In Xiaoli's room, Han Yue saw the two sets of pink clothes that Xiaoli brought, and said embarrassedly: "Sister Xiaoli, if you don't have Tsing Yi, if you don't, it's okay to get closer." ”

"Aren't all such young girls fancy to be fancy, how can they like to be so elegant?" said Xiao Leave, jokingly.

But seeing Dao Hanyue's firm and embarrassed expression, she still went out and found her a light blue dress.

Xiao Li brought the newly dressed two people into the dream snow room, closed the door softly, and stood outside the door, she knew that the girl didn't like to be disturbed.

Meng Xue was sitting behind the chessboard, with a few plates of dim sum next to her. Han Yue's eyes lit up as soon as she saw these two.

Meng Xue looked funny and said, "Come and sit, if I can solve this game, I will accept you, if not......" said and glanced at Huayu, "I can only send you back to Mother Qiu." ”

When Huayu heard this, she trembled for a while, and pulled Hanyue's hand tightly, "Can you do it?"

Han Yue said confidently: "Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, this will definitely work." ”

The two sat opposite Mengxue and looked at the chess game. This game is the one that the ancient hall master asked Meng Xue to crack that day, and she has been solving it for so many years, but she can't do it. If this girl can crack it...... , I suddenly had some hope and some apprehension in my heart, I hope she can solve it!

Huayu sat quietly on the side, looking at Han Yue, Han Yue sat down and stared at the chess game without moving her eyes, and her mind seemed to be sucked into the chess game.

After half a pillar of incense, she gave off a son, and continued to support her chin with one hand, and unconsciously stuffed a snack into her mouth with the other, thinking hard.

Mengxue looked funny, and Huayu said shyly: "My sister has been like this since she was a child, she gets carried away when she plays chess, don't laugh." ”

"It's okay, you're sisters, don't you look like each other?" Mengxue saw that Hanyue was still concentrating on the chess game, so she chatted with Huayu.

Hua Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I look like my father, and my sister looks like my mother, so it's a little different." ”

They discussed the broken house in the mountains, and the way back to the snow country was long, and for the sake of convenience, they would be called sisters in the future. Let's just say that my father who came out with a businessman and accidentally got separated, her name is Huayu, Hanyue is called Huayue, and the two of them arranged everything they could think of, but when it came to the end, it was still a little exposed.

Meng Xue doesn't care if what she says is true or not, as long as she can solve the chess game.

The night was long, and before I knew it, time passed like this, the room was warm, and Huayu fell asleep on the ground unconsciously. Mengxue kept staring at Han Yue and the chessboard.

At first, Han Yue always had to think for a long time before she fell behind, and then it got faster and faster.

Before dawn came, Han Yue finally stretched and stood up happily: "Haha, it's finally broken, what a powerful chess game!"

Huayu was awakened, stood up and rubbed her eyes: "What's wrong, Yue'er?"

Then he looked around, completely sober, grabbed Han Yue's hand and said uncertainly, "Broken, cracked?"

"yes, I just said don't worry?" Han Yue smiled. Then he said again and again: "I'm so sleepy!"

Meng Xue looked at the cracked chess game, and she felt like she was suddenly opened, she looked at Han Yue in surprise and surprise, and was overjoyed.

got up and pushed the door out, saw Xiao Li standing outside the door and patted her gently.

Xiao Li was standing and napping, and was immediately awakened by this beat, and when he saw Mengxue, he hurriedly said, "Miss, I, I ......"

"It's okay, you've been on guard all night, and you're tired. Arrange a room for the two of them first, and then you can go and rest too. Just let Xiao Ji come and serve. Meng Xue said nonchalantly.

Soon after Xiao Li took Han Yue and the two left, Xiao Ji, another of Mengxue's personal maidservants, approached the room.

"Xiao Ji, how long have you been with me?" Meng Xue asked softly.

"It's been more than three years. Xiao Ji replied.

"How do I treat you?" Meng Xue asked again.

Xiao Ji saw Mengxue's cautious expression, and didn't know if he had no intention of committing the girl's taboo, so he quickly knelt down.

"Girl, the girl treats me like a mountain, if it weren't for the girl's intake, my mother and I would probably suffer persecution from my relatives.

Girl, if Xiao Ji has committed something, please punish the girl, don't drive Xiao Ji. ”

Mengxue picked up the trembling Xiao Ji and said softly: "No, you have been doing a good job, I have something to ask for, you can agree." ”

"Girl, this is not deserved, if you have something, just tell me, Xiao Ji will definitely do it. Xiao Ji said in a trembling voice.

Mengxue took the pen and paper, thought for a moment and wrote a letter, handed it to Xiao Ji, and whispered a few words before Xiao Ji took the order.

Mengxue sat on the couch in prostration, and the night's suffering finally paid off, hoping that the next thing would go well.
