So, it was another night of chess.

When the dawn broke on the second day, Dongfang Shuo's son was settled.

"This time, I won. His face was filled with a smile that had finally won after a fierce battle.

Ji Zhaoning was silent, but his eyes fell on the chessboard.

After looking at it for a moment, he reached out and held up the white child.

Listening to a click, the black chess piece suddenly fell into a dead game from the realm of Dashun.

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth twitched, and he finally sighed.

"Who did you learn this chess with?" Dongfang Shuo said with emotion, "I think I'm famous all my life, and I've already learned your moves, why can't I win you at all?"

Ji Zhaoning raised his eyes.

"I don't have any tricks. She shook her head and looked at the chessboard in front of her, "The person who taught me to play chess is as bad as you are now." ”

"As bad as me?" Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but roll his eyes, he didn't want to complain about this kind of wording, "Then why can you have such superb chess skills?"

"Superb?"

Ji Zhaoning smiled, "It's just familiarity, over the years, I always like to find someone to play chess, if there is no one, I will play with myself." By the way, the first time you met me, I was playing chess with myself. ”

"No wonder I always felt a snapping sound at the time...... No, you seem to be disrespecting me like this???"

Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes.

And the smile on Ji Zhaoning's face became even brighter.

"Are you still coming?"

"Not coming. Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said, "Tonight has passed, I'm sorry for you." ”

"I'm just playing chess with you, don't bother, you have to thank you, and you should thank Jian An who has been guarding outside. ”

Ji Zhaoning said.

And Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes again: "I don't think he is guarding the safety of the two of us, but has been preventing me from doing anything to you, and I have felt his cold gaze more than once this night." ”

"Who told you to make a fuss about me?"

"How can I have it......"

Dongfang Shuo sighed helplessly.

But then, he got up and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard in front of the house, Jian An, dressed in white, held his sword and closed his eyes facing the door.

However, Dongfang Shuo could feel that his vigilance had spread to hundreds of zhang around, even if he was taking a nap, he could take action immediately as soon as the wind and grass moved.

"Jian'an, thank you for keeping watch over me all night. ”

Dongfang Shuo hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

Jian An didn't open his eyes, but replied: "It's too numb, I don't accept it." Still, you have a bit of a conscience. ”

"If only you could fix your poisonous tongue. ”

Dongfang Shuo said with a smile.

Jian An didn't answer.

Immediately, Dongfang Shuo took a few steps forward and asked at the same time: "I'm a little curious, what is the relationship between you and the person named Luo Yang in the palace, and why do you seem to be very familiar? Moreover, not only can the emperor tolerate your offense, but you also open your mouth to call him 'bedwetting emperor', do you two have any allusions?"

"You will always know what you should know, and don't ask more about what you shouldn't know. ”

Jian Andao.

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo suddenly rolled his eyes.

"How do you talk like those old guys?"

Oriental Shuo Road.

Jian An said: "To you, I am indeed an old man. ”

"Dare to ask you how expensive you are this year, old man?"

"Eighty-three. ”

"Eighty-three??? true or false? You look like thirty-three at most. ”

"Believe it or not. ”

"Then I'm a little curious. Suddenly, Dongfang Shuo got closer, and asked in as low a voice as possible, "How old is your young lady this year?"

Swish!

Suddenly, the sword light and sword shadow crossed his chest, and it was the white-clothed swordsman Jian An's sword.

But as soon as the blade slashed across his brow, cutting off the longest hair in his bangs, the sword was immediately pointed backwards.

Immediately after that, as soon as the sword blade came out, it stabbed towards the wall in the distance like an arrow from a bow with sword aura.

With a bang, the walls cracked, and everything quickly returned to calm.

And just as Dongfang Shuo wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, Jian An's gaze turned to the direction of the broken wall.

"Come out. ”

He said.

A moment after the words fell, a pale-faced man stepped out from behind the wall.

Dongfang Shuo fixed his eyes and saw that it was Gonggong Xiao.

And looking at his countenance, he must be frightened.

"Shang Shang Shang Guogong, what did I do wrong?" he asked tremblingly, and was even about to kneel.

Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Then, he said: "This guy hasn't slept all night, he overreacted, you didn't do anything wrong, come here." ”

“...... Oh. ”

Gonggong Xiao glanced at the sword stabbed on the wall next to him, and answered.

As soon as he responded, the sword moved on its own and left the wall, and flew back into the scabbard in Jian'an's hand like lightning.

"I don't need to rest. ”

He argued.

And Dongfang Shuo didn't say much.

Then, Grandpa Xiao also walked over cautiously.

"Your Majesty asked you to come again, what happened this time?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

Xiao Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty said, let me confirm the safety of Shang Guogong, if Shang Guoan is safe and sound, I will ask Lord Jian'an who came to assassinate last night." ”

As soon as his words fell, Dongfang Shuo looked at Jian An.

After settling down, Jian said, "I don't know who assassinated last night, but there were thirteen killers in total, nine of them were crushed by me, and the heads of the remaining few were placed in front of the hall, don't you see?"

"I bought the yard, and I know a way not to pass in front of the church. Gonggong Xiao wiped his sweat, and continued to bow his waist and salute, "In that case, please also ask Shang Guogong to allow me to take these heads back and hand them over to the criminal court for disposal." ”

"Take it. ”

Dongfang Shuo stopped, "If you find out, remember to give me a list." ”

"Definitely. ”

Gonggong Xiao paused, so he turned around and went.

After he left, Dongfang Shuo looked at Jian An.

"Did thirteen people really come to kill me last night?" Dongfang Shuo asked.

Jian An said: "It is true that thirteen killers came, but the nine who broke the bones and scattered the ashes came to kill the young lady, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth twitched.

"She's more dangerous than me?" he complained.

However, after the words fell, his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Ji Zhaoning.

She was obviously in danger herself, but she still accompanied Dongfang Shuo, who was also dangerous, all night, which couldn't help but make the latter more and more puzzled.

Why did she treat herself like this, if she just wanted to ask Dongfang Shuo for help, there was already a deal between the two, and she could treat him as a chess piece.

But what she is doing at the moment is not at all like treating a chess piece.

What is her purpose?
