For several days, it rained drizzly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xia Qingxiao and his party could only be trapped in the town and couldn't hurry, and it was extremely easy to be trapped on the road when they were in a rainy day, so they were not in a hurry anyway, so they stayed in the inn temporarily.

Day by day, with nothing to do, a few young people get together to chat, or play chess together.

On this day, Luo Shihan, who had lost many times, really didn't want to play chess with Luo Heng, and every time he would vomit blood.

Luo Shihan dragged Xia Qingxiao, "Qingxiao, you play chess with my brother, you are smarter than me, you will definitely be able to win against my brother!" Help me vent, my brother is so annoying. ”

"I don't know how to play chess." Xia Qingxiao hurriedly refused, she has never been very interested in playing chess, and she basically loses when she plays chess with Xia Yi, not to mention Luo Heng, who is more superb than Xia Yi's chess skills at first glance.

"You're lying, yesterday I watched you go to see your uncle and aunt play chess." Luo Shihan didn't believe it, she didn't believe that Xia Qingxiao, who was admired by her, couldn't play chess, Xia Qingxiao must be modest, yes, that is, humble.

Xia Qingxiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and really wanted to wipe the black line on his forehead, "I'm not good at chess, so don't be ugly." "She may have been humble when she said this before, but heaven and earth can learn from it, and now she is saying this, completely telling the truth, the truth of heaven!

However, Luo Shihan didn't believe it, "Let's play a game with my brother, kill him by surprise." ”

"My chess skills are not good, and my chess skills are even worse." Xia Qingxiao refused.

Luo Heng spoke, looking at Xia Qingxiao with a pair of eyes that seemed to be sunny, "It doesn't matter if you don't have good chess skills, it's just to pass the time." ”

"That's right, Qingxiao, when did you twist and pinch like this, it's not your character!" Luo Shihan pushed Xia Qingxiao over and sat down.

It's already reached this point, and it's not okay to go down.

Isn't it just a game of chess if you close your eyes and open them again? If there is anything to be afraid of, go down, who is afraid of whom!

Xia Qingxiao holds the sunspot, and Luo Heng holds the white.

Luo Heng and Xia Yi's methods are very different, Luo Heng is an upright method, and Xia Yi will always have a lot of insidious calculations in it.

Therefore, unexpectedly, Xia Qingxiao felt that playing chess did not seem to be so difficult! And it's smooth? Even with it, looking at Luo Heng opposite, he felt very pleasing to the eye. After a few days of getting along and getting to know each other, Xia Qingxiao still has a general understanding of Luo Heng.

He was born very well, but he was not proud. Behaves decently, but is not lacking in resourcefulness and knows how to be flexible. should have lived in a very harmonious and happy family since childhood, which can be seen from the carefree Luo Shihan.

Luo Shihan looked at the two people who were quietly playing chess, and looked at Luo Heng a few more times, hey! When did her brother know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? The number of chess moves is different from before! Although I would collect a little bit when I played chess with her, I didn't expect it to be so powerful now! A small difference, but a big difference! However, in a short period of time, she really discovered that Xia Qingxiao was really not good at chess! And it's ridiculous. If it weren't for Luo Heng's concession, Xia Qingxiao would have returned to the field long ago, and she would have lost even worse!

It turns out that Xia Qingxiao also has weaknesses! No wonder I didn't dare to sit down.

After looking at it carefully for a while, I suddenly thought of something!

She actually lacks a very important thing, no...... It's people.

That's my sister-in-law!

Looking at Luo Heng's appearance, he seems to have a little thought about Xia Qingxiao, otherwise it would be impossible to suddenly pity Xiang Xiang and cherish the jade. Maybe she doesn't have any thoughts, maybe she is kind, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that she lacks a sister-in-law, and she is also a sister-in-law who makes her very satisfied!

Xia Qingxiao devoted himself to studying chess, and the first time he played was very comfortable, so he must play well, and strive to lose is not so ugly, so he didn't notice Luo Shihan's suddenly shining gaze beside him.

Luo Heng was also thinking carefully, perhaps thinking about how to make Xia Qingxiao, but he actually had a headache.

Before you know it, time has passed.

The focused Xia Qingxiao raised his head to look at Luo Heng, with a look of decadence after defeat, "I just said that I am not good at chess. ”

"Actually, it's already good, it's just that I haven't practiced it well." Luo Heng looked at the vivid expression on Xia Qingxiao's face and couldn't help but smile.

"Really?" Xia Qingxiao didn't believe it a little, she knew herself very thoroughly.

Luo Shihan leaned over, "Qingxiao, listen to my brother, anyway, the rain has been non-stop in the past few days, and I can't rush for the time being, let my brother often play chess with you, and I won't be your opponent after a while." ”

Xia Qingxiao raised her eyebrows, as if she smelled a little conspiracy, she was even more annoyed and decadent, and replied with little strength: "No need, your brother should be quite tired from playing chess with me." ”

Luo Shihan was stunned, Xia Qingxiao saw it?

Luo Heng was a little surprised, he actually let the chess pieces be very careful, and they were actually seen?

"It's almost time, let's go, let's go have lunch." Xia Qingxiao glanced at the hourglass, calculated the time, and happened to be a little hungry.

"Okay." Luo Heng smiled brightly.

Luo Shihan leaned around Luo Heng, watched Xia Qingxiao walk out first, and whispered to Luo Heng: "Brother, how do you think of Xiaoxiao?" Although the appearance is not alluring to the country and the city, it is also bright and moving, the family background is not from an aristocratic background, but it is better than the love of parents, and the character is not gentle and virtuous, but it is better than the truth! ”

"What do you think?" Luo Heng's dark eyes flashed.

Luo Shihan laughed treacherously twice, this kind of laughter was learned from Xia Qingxiao, and she learned vividly, "I think she is quite suitable to be my sister-in-law, although you have not known each other for a long time, and you may not know her well, there are countless women who like you in Ziyan Country, and I don't think you have a crush on any of them, just now I saw that you took care of her emotions so much, did you have the same idea as me?" ”

"You're thinking too much." Luo Heng chuckled.

"It's definitely not that I'm thinking too much, brother, you just say you like her or not, as long as you say you like her, I feel that I will help you get her with all my might."

"Shihan."

"What's wrong, brother?"

"I don't need you to worry about my business."

"Brother, you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry! Don't you see that she doesn't want to go with us? She might have guessed that we weren't ordinary people. ”

"yes, I know."

Luo Shihan's cheeks puffed up, "Brother, you're angry with me!" I think you must have done it on purpose! ”

……

The sky is suddenly clear, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

asked the store for a pot of hot tea, Xia Qingxiao and Xia Weixing and his wife tasted tea and admired the moon in the pavilion together.

"If it's still sunny tomorrow, we'll be able to go again the day after tomorrow." Xia Weixing said with a smile.

Zhao nodded gently, "Let's go to a nearby store tomorrow to buy some pastries and stay, you can eat them on the way." ”

"Okay, let Siwen and Gangzi buy it tomorrow." Xia Qingxiao nodded.

Zhao glanced at Xia Weixing, and then looked at Xia Qingxiao, as if he had something to ask, hesitating, Xia Qingxiao noticed it, and said with a smile: "Mother, if there is anything you want to say to me, or if you want to ask, just ask." ”

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that what the husband and wife are most concerned about now is her life's event, although she has left the capital, but this is already a problem for the two of them, Xia Qingxiao really has no way to persuade the two of them.

Isn't she obvious enough? I don't want to get married! She never thought about getting married in her life.

"We see that Shihan's brother seems to be good, has a cheerful personality, and treats people very well, you look at the people around him, they are all sincerely doing things for him, and they are not afraid of the respect of the master at all. For the first time in all these years, we have seen a man who is so good in every way. Xiao Er, he is definitely a good match, and he is definitely a person who can be entrusted for life. "The more Zhao looks at Luo Heng, the more he likes it, although they have only known each other for a few days, they are completely satisfied with her and her husband.

Xia Weixing nodded, and said in a very cautious tone: "Xiao'er, in fact, Luo Heng is really good, although my father has been mediocre all his life, he has some skills to know people, of course, he can only see some, I can see from Luo Heng's words and deeds, he is definitely a responsible person." ”

"He's a very good person, but he has nothing to do with me, father, mother, don't mention this matter in the future." Xia Qingxiao said with a smile.

Xia Weixing and Zhao sighed at the same time.

Seeing this, Xia Qingxiao said helplessly: "Luo Heng and Shihan are from Ziyan Kingdom, and their backgrounds are not simple, father, mother, some things look simple on the surface, but what is the reality?" We don't know. Luo Heng is a good person, and maybe a person who many women are worthy of entrusting for life, but it is not mine. Most importantly, do you know if he has a wife in his house? Do you have an engaged fiancée? Therefore, we can only be friends with them on the road, but we will not have anything else to do with them. ”

There was silence for a while.

Xia Weixing nodded, "Xiao Er is right, we don't know much about Luo Heng, and besides, it's all speculation between the two of us, so persuading Xiao Er is unfair to her, and disrespectful to Luo Heng." "If Luo Heng really has a wife, or has a fiancée, they will only make Xiao Er unbearable if they show this kind of thought.

"It's because we didn't think it through." The Zhao family said with some remorse, they were almost about to do something wrong, if they couldn't help but talk to Luo Heng about this in advance, the situation would definitely not be good now. Xiao Er's words reminded them that Luo Heng and Shi Han must be from extraordinary backgrounds, and they know very well that the bigger the family, the more important the gateway is.

"Father, mother, I know that you are concerned about my life's events, and especially hope that I can have a good home, I understand. I understand your painstaking efforts, but the most important thing for us now is to find a place to settle down, and as for my marriage, it is secondary. Xia Qingxiao said in a very calm tone, hoping that they could figure it out and understand her.

Xia Weixing and his wife nodded at the same time, and Xia Weixing said: "Father and mother understand you and understand your thoughts." ”

"Don't mention these things again, our family of three has never enjoyed the moon and teaed together." Xia Qingxiao pointed to the bright moon in the sky, "Look, the moonlight is bright, our family of three will definitely be happy!" ”

Xia Weixing and his wife nodded and smiled, yes, the three of them will definitely be happy!

……

On the second day, the sky was clear and cloudless.

After breakfast, Luo Shihan dragged Xia Qingxiao to go shopping together.

Siwen and Gangzi went to buy some snacks to eat on the road tomorrow, and Xia Weixing and his wife stayed in the inn to rest. Luo Heng followed Xia Qingxiao and them to go shopping.

Luo Shihan is full of curiosity about everything, after all, they are two countries, and some things are different.

"These jewelry are so exquisitely made, I want to buy them back and give them to my mother, my mother likes these things the most!" Luo Shihan picked up a silver hairpin with exquisite workmanship, couldn't put it down, and after casually telling the store about the price, he asked Luo Heng to pay the silver and ask for all the hairpins in front of him.

The corners of Xia Qingxiao's mouth twitched, it can be seen from this that Luo Shihan must have been born in a powerful family, things in Dahua are not cheap, and people who can buy everything without blinking their glasses basically don't have much of a concept of money.

She casually glanced at a few nearby businesses, and stopped when she came to a shop selling daggers.

Sweeping around the store, his eyes finally fell on a dagger that was exquisitely made and easy to carry, and just picked it up, Luo Heng beside him spoke, "This dagger is very suitable for carrying, and the blade is sharp, so it can be used in case of emergency." ”

Xia Qingxiao looked at Luo Heng sideways, and nodded with a smile: "It's really good." She was about to open her mouth to ask the shopkeeper how much silver it was, but Luo Heng took the lead, "Shopkeeper, how much silver is this dagger?" ”

"Fifty taels." The shopkeeper replied.

It's not cheap, Xia Qingxiao was just about to put down his plan to take a look.

Luo Heng suddenly took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to the store, "Buy it." ”

Xia Qingxiao blinked, bear the pain and cut love! Who made her hesitate, and reluctantly handed the dagger to Luo Heng.

"For you." Luo Heng smiled and pushed over.

"Huh?" Xia Qingxiao was stunned, didn't she give her a gift? Suddenly feeling that the dagger in her hand seemed to be a hot potato, she grabbed Luo Heng's hand without hesitation and put the dagger on it, "I don't need a dagger for the time being, let's give it to Shihan in a while." ”

Xia Qingxiao turned around and left, sighing and remorse in his heart as he walked, he must not hesitate to see his favorite things in the future, once he hesitates, he will lose it!

Luo Heng looked at Xia Qingxiao's departing back, slightly stunned, and then a sunny smile climbed on his face. Shihan is right, she is indeed very smart.

There was a small vendor in front of the dagger shop, who was a candy seller.

"Qingxiao, come and see, it's amazing!" Luo Shihan looked at it intently.

Looking at the master who made the candy man, he flexibly made the candy man, flowers, and some lively small animals between his fingers.

The master's craftsmanship is superb, so each one is made vividly.

"If you like it, buy one." Xia Qingxiao also felt novel, and in modern times, he had also seen someone make Tang people, but in modern times, his craftsmanship could not be compared with the ancients, and now seeing is believing, and he feels that the ancients are extremely wise!

Luo Shihan shook his head, "Don't buy it, I can't bear to eat it if I buy it." ”

Xia Qingxiao nodded, indeed, if she bought it, she would be as reluctant to eat as Shiwen, and she would watch it melt away.

The two of them looked at it for a while, and then remembered that they wanted to buy a roast chicken and go back to the inn to eat, and they heard from the innkeeper that there was a roast chicken restaurant that was very good.

One last glance and left.

Luo Shihan suddenly found that Luo Heng was holding a dagger in his hand, and asked, "Brother, did you buy a dagger?" "They have a lot of weapons in their house, so why would they buy a dagger that looks very ordinary. Most of all, she remembered that he didn't use a dagger very much.

Luo Heng looked at Xia Qingxiao and said with a smile: "Give it to Qingxiao." ”

Xia Qingxiao's eyelids jumped, and he immediately snatched it from Luo Heng's hand, "Go back and give you the silver." ”

"What kind of silver is given to you, Qingxiao, let's go buy roast chicken! I've been eating the inn's porridge and side dishes for the past few days, and I'm hungry! Luo Shihan's eyes lit up, and he didn't give Xia Qingxiao a chance to refute, dragged Xia Qingxiao away, and turned around and winked at Luo Heng.

Luo Heng smiled knowingly.

……

A few days later.

Stranded in a small town again.

Why?

It's not raining again.

Rather, there is a bridge on one of the roads that must be passed, and for some reason, it collapsed overnight! Even though it was being repaired, I still don't know why it was destroyed again at night. After many days, the bridge was never repaired, and I had to stay in the town for a few more days.

When he was very bored, Xia Qingxiao and Luo Shihan and his sisters played chess.

During this time, they became more and more familiar, and Xia Qingxiao's chess quality gradually became clear, and Xia Qingxiao didn't hide his only shortcoming, isn't it just that his chess quality is poor, and he is not ashamed.

Xia Qingxiao supported her head with one hand, holding a chess piece between the fingers of her left hand, studying the current situation, as if she was losing wherever she played.

I've lost two games today, and I really don't want to lose.

She had secretly glared at Luo Heng fiercely, didn't she know how to be humble to women? Don't you see that she is already at a loss for anything? Gritting his teeth, he was about to place the chess pieces in one place at random.

Suddenly, Luo Heng stretched out his hand to stop her, directly took out the chess pieces in her hand and put them in one place, and then heard his voice with a smile, "Put it here to break my game." ”

"Here?" Xia Qingxiao didn't look up at him, stared at the chessboard carefully, she was actually a very smart person, why didn't she have any awareness of playing chess? After a closer look, I realized that as long as I went down here, I could break the game.

Biting his lip, he whispered, "I'm so stupid too?" ”

Luo Henglang laughed, "Hahaha, it's not that you're stupid. ”

"Why is that?" Xia Qingxiao raised his eyes to look at him, as if he saw the starlight with a smile in his eyes.

Luo Shihan walked in and said with a smile: "Because my brother's chess skills are superb, I really haven't seen anyone beat him, and generally the people who win him are intentionally let by my brother." "She can sometimes win Luo Heng because he makes her and wants her to be happy.

Hearing this, Xia Qingxiao became even more depressed, and clearly realized one thing, "I have occasionally won one or two games in the past few days, and you let me." It turns out that her chess skills have not improved, Bai is happy, and just now she took the initiative to invite Luo Heng to play chess with a strong interest.

Do you want to consider completely blacking out the entertainment of playing chess? It's really showing others her rapidly declining IQ.

Luo Heng smiled and said nothing, and the starlight in his eyes was even more dazzling.

Xia Qingxiao got up and said to Luo Shihan: "Come on, I'll go out for a walk, why hasn't a small bridge been repaired for several days?" It's so weird, isn't the parent official here offending someone? It was repaired again and again, and it was destroyed again and again, wasting many manpower and material resources. "The main thing is that she wasted her time on the road, and I don't know why, there has always been a feeling of panic in the last few days.

As I spent more time in town, I felt more and more uneasy.

Maybe the big aunt is coming?

Counting the time, it is indeed these days.

"I asked people to take a look, it was being repaired, it was indeed deliberately sabotaged, and it is very puzzling that the government does not send people to guard at night. Could it be that the officials here are too inactive? Luo Shihan was also puzzled.

Luo Heng lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, "There should be some reason. ”

"What could be the reason? Can prompt people to constantly destroy bridges? Isn't that all bad? Luo Shihan pouted. I can't figure out what could be going on here.

Xia Qingxiao pondered for a moment, secretly wondering, what was going on? Is it a deliberate sabotage of the bridge, so that the local parent officials are blamed by their superiors? Or did the workers who built the bridge offend someone? The head hurts a little, rubbing her temples, anyway, it's not something she should worry about, isn't there a tall one staring at the sky falling, what's the matter with her!

I've been thinking about how to break the game, my head hurts, take my father and mother and them to go shopping, see if they have anything they like, you can buy some and take them away.

After Xia Qingxiao left, Luo Shihan discussed with Luo Heng.

"Brother, we've been delayed here for a few more days, do you want to find a way to interfere? See who wreaks havoc every night? If we continue to delay, I am afraid that the time for us to return to the Purple Yan Country will be delayed again. Although Luo Shihan is usually very willful, he can think calmly about things at critical times.

Luo Heng frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Well, send someone to take a look tonight." ”

"Okay."

"How much do you know about Qingxiao?" Luo Heng asked softly.

Understand? Luo Shihan's eyes turned and replied with a smile: "Of course I understand, she doesn't seem to pay attention to anything, but she is actually sincere to people." She was suspicious of your and my identities, but she never asked, and even had a great time with us. That's what she learned, and that's what she thinks is the most important. Xia Qingxiao is smart but very measured, and he has a good way to get money.

Hehe, especially what makes her feel admirable is that she was able to rob those robbers in the end, and she could also make those robbers respect Xia Qingxiao to the last one! If Xia Qingxiao was not a woman, those robbers would definitely be a big brother.

Luo Heng nodded, and a smile flashed in her eyes, "Yes, she knows that your and my identities are not simple, but she has never asked." Keep the right distance from us. ”

"yes, yes. Brother, how did you come up with the idea to ask me this question? Luo Shihan nodded, and then asked rhetorically.

"When I found you, I found that you were always surrounded by someone to supervise, or rather protect. The hidden is extremely secretive, there should be about ten people, and each of them has superb martial arts. It's even on par with the guards who protect us in secret, and maybe even higher than us. Luo Heng said in a deep voice, this point was discovered by him a few days ago, and he never explained it, because he later determined that Xia Qingxiao did not know.

So, if someone wants to know Xia Qingxiao's whereabouts, who will that person be?

"Huh? We haven't found out, I don't know when they started stalking us, no, they were stalking Qingxiao. Moreover, we were robbed and locked up by robbers that time, and we didn't see anyone to save us, we saved ourselves. Luo Shihan was stunned. They have been on the road together for half a month, and she usually pesters Xia Qingxiao every day, and she has never noticed that there are secret guards hiding around. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, although her martial arts are not as good as her brother or some secret guards, but she will not even be supervised by someone.

Did Xia Qingxiao offend anyone?

Luo Heng groaned slightly, "If you don't save her, you're waiting for the last moment to save her, and it also shows that they are secretly following her and don't want her to know their whereabouts." ”

Luo Shihan realized that something was wrong, and asked nervously, "Brother, should we tell her?" Let her have a prepare? Those people don't know if it's a bad person. We can't be sure if they're protecting her. ”

If it was just a few secret guards, they would be able to help Xia Qingxiao deal with it when they arrived at the territory of Ziyan Kingdom, but now that they were in Dahua Kingdom, they must not act rashly.

"Nope." Luo Heng shook his head.

"Why?" Luo Shihan was puzzled.

Luo Heng got up and walked to the window, just in time to see Xia Qingxiao and her parents walking out of the inn together, the three of them were talking and laughing, and they didn't notice that there was anyone around to supervise them. "Maybe the bridge is always broken, and it has something to do with those people who want to hold her back."

"Huh?" Luo Shihan was shocked again. divide

"It's just my guess, it's not accurate. Telling her before she knew what it was would only make her panic. We will let her know when the situation is ascertained in the next few days, otherwise, she will not trust us. The bridge will be built tonight, and I will send someone to keep an eye on it, and we will be on our way early tomorrow morning. Luo Heng has been measuring this time, and she is also trying her best to gain Xia Qingxiao's trust, but unfortunately, she is too defensive of people.

In a teahouse opposite the inn, there is a private room on the second floor.

After several days of speeding up the horses, ten horses ran and died rain or shine, and finally arrived.

Yongsheng held a bronze mirror and looked at himself, it had only been a few days, and he had lost a whole circle! The handsome appearance of the wind and the sound has been ruined.

With a sigh, he looked away from the bronze mirror, looked at the inn opposite, and smiled: "It seems that Xia Qingxiao and that mysterious man get along very happily, I don't know what her expression will be after seeing me." ”
