Emperor Xiao stayed in the City Lord's Mansion and refused to leave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the garden, Gu Mingxuan said coolly: "I have sent out five groups of people one after another, and none of them can intercept Yun Xiu. At this time, he was afraid that he had already fled back to Xiliang. ”

Xiao Rin was lying on the railing, his cloud sleeves and splashed green silk hanging to the ground, but he didn't seem to care. "Since you and I can force him once, we can naturally force him a second time!"

"If you want to join forces, why are you still staying with me?" A cold light flashed in Gu Mingxuan's eyes, his wrist flipped, and a white jade chess piece flew towards his face.

"Senior brother, although we have been exchanging letters, we may not have seen each other for a long time, so we don't allow our junior brother to reminisce? Besides, Donghe lost Yun Xiu, just like the eagle lost its arm, wouldn't the remaining half of the rivers and mountains be senior brother's sooner or later? He smiled, deftly rolled over, and dodged.

Gu Mingxuan snorted coldly: "Gu doesn't remember when there was a junior disciple like Mr. Xiao!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you remember it or not, just have it." He turned over and sat up and sat opposite him, "It's boring to be self-interested, why don't you accompany me to play a game with you?" If I win, let me meet A-Ning? ”

"Just you?"

Xiao Rin laughed and said: "Shizun once said that you are the most proud disciple he has received, and the Qimen gossip arrangement is all excellent. I started late, and I didn't have the opportunity to see my brother's demeanor, so I am fortunate to have a good experience today. ”

As he spoke, he had already lost his first son quickly.

Gu Mingxuan leaned back on the chair, and a white piece rubbing on his fingertips was flicked up by his thumb, and it turned leisurely in the air a few times and landed steadily on the chessboard.

Xiao Rin didn't say anything, and got down seriously. They are from the same school, and they are all talented, so naturally they are not comparable to ordinary people, so the situation suddenly became tense at the beginning. Gu Mingxuan still had a leisurely demeanor, but his eyes were obviously much more eager, and his chess style was not as gentle and dense as before.

When playing chess with Yan Ning, she has the interest of children who play with her, and I hope to play as long as possible. Even the next set is possible to make half a set, it doesn't matter if she wins or loses in the end, as long as she's happy.

Playing against Xiao Rin is like really going into battle shirtless, and his blood is pumping. Step by step, step by step, the duel between masters is not to make a wrong step. Just one step, and you will lose the whole game. And any duel about A-Ning, he can only win and not lose!

For a while, the atmosphere of the entire Lingering Garden seemed to be frozen. In the silence, there was only the sound of Tamako tapping on the chessboard.

This game went from early afternoon to sunset, and night fell. During this time, Lu Li came back twice, and then quietly retreated.

"Did Qing'er sleep?" After dinner, Yan Ning continued to embroider her flowers without having anything to do, and asked the two newly appointed maids while embroidering.

A young maid about thirteen or fourteen years old in a light blue dress replied, "Miss Qing has already fallen asleep." ”

Yan Ning nodded, threaded the needle carefully, and asked after a while, "Did the city lord have dinner?" ”

Another handmaid timidly said, "Go back to ...... Mrs. Hui...... The lord of the city and Mr. Xiao played against each other in the Lingering Garden, and they have not yet ...... Unfinished ......"

"When did it start?"

"Listen...... I heard that it was...... It's noon......" The little woman in red was trembling nervously. Yan Ning glanced at her strangely: "Why are you so nervous?" ”

The maid in the light blue dress hurriedly pulled the people around her to kneel, kowtowed, and said, "Please forgive Madame, my little sister is still young and has just arrived, and I am shocked by Madame's complexion and bearing." I hope that Mrs. will not care, and the slave and maid will thank Mrs. ”

Yan Ning's gaze turned to the maid in the light blue dress, it was really rare to be able to advance and retreat like this at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Then he whispered, "Raise your heads! ”

The two of them slowly raised their heads, but Yan Ning gradually stayed in place.

An excited voice came from behind him: "Zhelan! A blue-gray figure flew by from a distance, stopped in front of the two of them, held her arm and asked excitedly, "What is the relationship between you and Zhelan?" ”

The two maids looked at him blankly, looked at each other and shook their heads, and the maidservants in light blue clothes said, "The slaves and maids don't know the person named Zhelan. ”

"It's too similar...... It's too similar......" Lu Li let go in a daze.

"Alright, you go down first." Yan Ning waved her hand and said tiredly.

The two bowed and retreated, and Lu Li sat down a little weakly. "It's too much like Zhelan, isn't it?"

Yan Ning shook her head and smiled bitterly and said, "It's been too long, I've almost forgotten about the matter of Fengming Village, why do you bother remembering it?" ”

"I've long since given up looking for him...... I couldn't help but see a similar face for a while. Lu Li slowly closed his eyes, and only sighed.

Zhelan, a name that has been forgotten for a long time, has been mentioned again after so many lives and deaths, and after being turned over and over. The feeling of being out of the world came to my face.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. They are all old, but Brother Zhelan, who was obsessed with the past, and the other friends in Fengming Village still don't know where they are. At that time, the nurse took her who was less than three years old and Ning Chan, who was not yet a full year old, to Fengming Village, wanting to settle down there from now on. They do not seek wealth and prosperity, but only seek stability in their lives. When they first came, they were always bullied, and they always stood up to protect them.

Zhelan is a few years older than all of them, and has always guarded everyone like an older brother. He went to a private school, and when he came back, he would teach everyone to read and write at the bluestone edge at the entrance of the village. The boy was warm and bright, like a light that illuminated the path behind them. But he himself was drowned in the fire in Fengming Village.

Lu Li and Zhelan have the deepest relationship, so naturally they can't accept it, and they were looking for his whereabouts when they wandered the rivers and lakes at first. Gradually, he was finally disappointed and gave up the search. Since then, he has never mentioned this person, and he has never talked to Yan Ning about Fengming Village. Both of them seemed to have forgotten, but they both knew clearly that no matter how much time passed, there would always be those indelible marks in their hearts.

"Lu Li, forget it." Yan Ning sighed, and then stood up on the table, "I'll go look for Ah Xuan." ”

"Don't forget to check the details of those two girls." When she walked to the door, she pursed her lips and smiled: "I never thought that there would really be coincidences in the world, it was just a trick by someone with a heart." ”

The most incomprehensible thing in this world is that in addition to people's hearts, they are still people's hearts. Even if it is dressed in a thousand false appearances and changed its appearance, it is difficult to hide its dirty, ugly, and evil nature.

thought that the second half of her life could be spent quietly and peacefully, but the moment she reunited with Gu Mingxuan, she understood that everything seemed to be back to square one. It's just that she is no longer the eldest princess of Donghe who is above 10,000 people under one person, but he has become the absolute ruler of half of the country and is supported by all the people.
