By this time, it was already completely dark, and the cool night of the beginning of autumn hit people. Yan Ning www.biquge.info carried a broken jade glazed cup alone through the rockery and the verandah, and the front was the Lingering Garden.

The City Lord's Mansion is not big, and there is no trace of luxury, but it inherits Gu Mingxuan's consistent style of clear and leisurely, with rockeries and turquoise everywhere, and few pavilions. There are a total of five courtyards, and the Lingering Garden is in the middle, which is the place where he conducts his daily affairs. Guiyuan is on the left, and it is locked on weekdays to prevent people from entering. On the right is the eaves snow pavilion where the little prince of Chengning lives.

The Yilan Pavilion where Yan Ning lived later is next to the Lingering Garden, separated by a verandah and a rockery. Further back is the backyard, where the cooks, stables, and servants live.

When I walked to the verandah, I saw the bright moon and the clear light, and the two handsome people were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion. The soft wind blew through the eaves, raising their long inky hair, which looked as miserable as a dream from a distance.

She stopped for no reason, afraid that she would disturb the tranquility.

When Gu Mingxuan looked up, he inadvertently saw a woman in a long blue dress standing under the eaves with a broken jade glass cup with a meek eyebrow.

A smile slowly appeared in his eyes, and he beckoned: "Come here." ”

Yan Ning raised her steps and walked over, seeing that Xiao Rin was still frowning and thinking deeply, as if she hadn't seen her at all. I couldn't help but laugh a little: "I'll take a look at what kind of chess game it is, and it actually traps the two masters." ”

Gu Mingxuan said with a smile: "There seems to be only one person trapped. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Rin had already fallen.

Gu Mingxuan squinted his eyes and glanced at it, and then quickly stepped down. Picked up the already cold tea next to him and took a sip and said to Yan Ning: "Don't worry, the half-pillar incense will definitely end." ”

Xiao Rin still didn't answer, and Yan Ning leaned over to take a closer look at the dangerous situation. White is aggressive, but black is gradually passive. Every move has to be carefully considered, and if you make a wrong move, you will lose everything. Judging from this situation, Xiao Rin is indeed bound to lose.

Yan Ning sat on the stone bench and looked up and asked him, "Are you hungry?" Do you want me to go to the kitchen and see what's there? ”

Gu Mingxuan took her hand, pulled her to his side, and said with a light smile: "I'm not hungry, just sit down." ”

She pushed the fox fur on his body up nearby: "It's autumn, and the night is cool, why don't you let someone get you some more blankets?" Hands are so cold......" She touched his slender hand and sighed.

Gu Mingxuan pulled out his hand, held her hand and said with a smile: "The lady is so good, I know that I feel sorry for my husband......" They looked at each other, and they both saw the gurgling tenderness in each other's eyes, and they couldn't help laughing.

At this time, a yin and yang strange voice sounded on the other side: "You can't get down?" Don't you see anyone sitting here? ”

Gu Mingxuan sneered unceremoniously: "At this time...... Shouldn't those who are interested in retreat by themselves? ”

"Did I throw in the towel? Nope! You, you, you...... You let go of me! He slapped the hand they were holding together, and Gu Mingxuan quickly pulled Yan Ning to dodge the slap.

Who knew that the movement was too big, the chessboard was overturned to the ground, and the jade chess pieces fell to the ground with a clatter.

Yan Ning was dumbfounded, and only asked after a while, "Is this ...... Who wins? ”

"Naturally it's me!"

"He won!"

The two of them spoke out in unison. They looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Laughing so much that Yan Ning was in a fog, Gu Mingxuan got up, stretched out the fox fur and hugged Yan Ning, turned around and walked out, and said slowly when he got out of the pavilion: "Don't forget your promise!" ”

After that, he never looked back.

Yan Ning asked, "What promise?" Gu Mingxuan didn't answer. Is it related to me? Gu Mingxuan rubbed her long hair and said softly: "A-Ning, you will be my wife obediently in this life, don't think about going anywhere." "My arms are strong enough, strong enough to envelop you completely, and no longer expose you to the slightest danger.

******

Xiao Rin left quietly, just as he came.

When she had breakfast the next day, Yan Ning asked again and again, but to no avail. After breakfast, Gu Mingxuan hurriedly left the city, as if he was going to patrol the camp in the suburbs.

Lu Li didn't go with him, so Yan Ning was very surprised when he appeared: "Why didn't you go together?" ”

Lu Li was also very strange: "Why do I have to follow?" ”

"Didn't you always follow him?"

Lu Li said helplessly: "Now the military affairs around the adults are mainly in charge of Chenye, and this kid violated the military regulations by privately releasing the key offender some time ago. The adult governs the army very strictly, this is a capital crime, and naturally he cannot be spared. This kid also had a hard life, and escaped from Lanqing City in one breath, until he met you and was saved was also his creation. Now the adults have offset his merits, removed him from the post of general, and continued to serve as an attendant by the side of the adults. This kind of drudgery with the army, naturally, is not my turn. ”

"Has the poison on Dusty Night's body been cured?"

"What poison?" Lu Li frowned, "Doctor Luo said that it is not a big problem, presumably it is solved." ”

Yan Ning bowed her head, but she was very puzzled in her heart, when she fell at the door of Changping Village covered in blood at the beginning, it didn't look like a fake. Xiyue's ability is naturally extremely high, and she must not be mistaken. But Lu Li didn't know anything about the poisoning, so what about Ah Xuan? Is he clear? What went wrong?

She thought for a while and asked, "Is there a whereabouts of Mu Xiyue, who I asked you to inquire about a few days ago?" ”

Lu Li's expression became strange: "Are you sure this person is really alive?" ”

"What does that mean?"

"I just received the news that the youngest daughter of Mu Feng, the Weiling Gong of Xiliang Kingdom, is Mu Xiyue, the county lord of Langyue, but this county lord of Langyue has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she died before she was five years old." Lu Li touched his chin and felt a chill in his back, "Or...... Duplicate name? ”

Yan Ning's face suddenly turned pale, and she carefully recalled the bits and pieces she had spent with Xiyue. She behaves nobly, unlike a daughter born in an ordinary family. Although she never said her homeland, the pendant she knotted was Xiliang's technique. She said that Qing'er was of noble blood and should have soared above the nine heavens......

Lu Li patted her shoulder and comforted: "Maybe it's someone with the same name, I'll let someone look for it again, don't worry." ”

Yan Ning took a deep breath, suddenly picked up a cup of tea on the table and poured it down. He opened his mouth and called, "Someone." ”

The little maid in light blue color was the girl who looked like Zhelan yesterday and walked up quickly: "Madam, what's the matter?" ”

"Go and bring Qing'er over."

"Miss Qing doesn't seem to be awake yet...... I want a slave and a maidservant...... Wake her up? ”

Yan Ning shook her head, her hand supporting her forehead weakly: "That's it, let her sleep." ”
