Shi Yuechan saw that Dugu Ling couldn't wait to find a place to hide, she was afraid that Dugu Ling would arrest her again, she was afraid of causing trouble again, but thinking that Lord Huaiyuan was beside her, she was a lot more relieved.

There were no people in this inn, so Dugu Ling came in and asked Xiao Er to clear the scene, chartered the rest of the inn, and said something to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw such a big man, although he didn't know who the other party was, he also nodded respectfully, and soon invited everyone out, except for Shi Yuechan and his party, of course.

Dugu Ling's gaze also kept falling in the direction of Shi Yuechan.

Shi Yuechan pursed her red lips lightly.

Huai Yuan didn't pay attention to Dugu Ling after glancing at him lightly, he said to Shi Yuechan, "These days are tiring, you eat something, and then have a good rest." ”

Shi Yuechan pursed her lips even more when she heard this, she looked at Dugu Ling who came over, and couldn't help but move the hand on her knee and pull Huaiyuan's sleeve, and reminded him, "My lord." ”

Huai Yuan looked at Dugu Ling, and before he could speak, Dugu Ling had already taken the first step to speak, "I didn't expect to meet Lord Huai Yuan here......" He said here and looked at Shi Yuechan, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, "This can be regarded as fate." ”

"I think so." Lord Huaiyuan said.

Dugu Ling smiled and said, "The last time Lord Huaiyuan sent me to the ship and sent someone to escort me back to the national capital, I didn't even get to see Lord Huaiyuan to thank me, I was still in regret, but unexpectedly, I ......"

At this time, the people in the lobby had almost retreated, except for the two stand-in guards, even the shopkeepers retreated and closed the doors.

Dugu Ling paused for a few breaths, and heard that the footsteps were gone, and there was no sound when he walked away, and then he said again, "The monarch asked me to come to the imperial capital, and I met Lord Huaiyuan today, which is really fortunate." ”

When the words fell, Dugu Ling had already walked over. He smiled and asked, "I wonder if Lord Huaiyuan has my seat here?" ”

"Whatever you want." Huai Yuan said.

Dugu Ling smiled when he heard this, then walked to the table and sat down, next to Shi Yuechan. Opposite to Huaiyuan.

Huai Yuan smiled faintly, took the dish and sent it to Shi Yuechan's bowl again.

Shi Yuechan wanted to get up and leave, but she didn't know how to speak.

Huai Yuan asked, "Have you eaten well?" ”

Shi Yuechan hurriedly said, "Eat well." ”

Huai Yuan got up and said. "Let's go."

Shi Yuechan followed and got up in response.

Huai Yuan asked Shi Yuechan to go first, and then said to Dugu Ling, "Your Excellency sit slowly, and come back another day to make an appointment to talk about it." ”

After that, Huai Yuan took Shi Yuechan to the courtyard in the backyard, and the guards were guarding outside the courtyard, and the forest was tightly clothed, so that it would be difficult for a fly to fly in.

Huai Yuan sent Shi Yuechan to the door of the room, "Have a good rest, call me if you have something." ”

Pothos opens the door. Shi Yuechan entered the door and turned to look at Huai Yuan, "Can you take me when you go out?" "She didn't mean just going to the palace to take her, but taking her everywhere she went.

Seeing this, Huai Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Take you." ”

Shi Yuechan's face turned slightly red, and then said, "Thank you, sir." ”

After that, Shi Yuechan entered the house, and the green pothos followed her into the house and closed the door.

Shi Yuechan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Then there was silence for a while before going to bed to rest.

Early the next morning, Shi Yuechan got up to wash and dress, "What about Lord Huaiyuan?" ”

"Your Excellency is talking to Dugu Gongzi in the main hall." Pothos said as she waited for her to change her clothes and wash up.

Huai Yuan had already arranged breakfast for Shi Yuechan, and the pothos went to bring it. Shi Yuechan finished eating in the room and asked, "Are you still talking to Dugu Ling?" ”

"Yes." Pothos said.

What has it to say for so long?

Shi Yuechan couldn't help but want to take a look, but Magu came in from outside and said, "My lord wants to go out, call the slave and maid to call you." ”

Shi Yuechan responded and put on her hat. Put on a cape.

The pothos helped Shi Yuechan to go out to the main hall.

Shi Yuechan looked hazyly at Huaiyuan's side through the curtain of the hat.

Magu reported in the past.

Huai Yuan had already seen Shi Yuechan come out, and had already said goodbye to Dugu Ling, "Your Excellency sit down, I still have some things to do and not accompany you." ”

When the words fell, Huai Yuan had already stepped away, and he walked up to Shi Yuechan and said with a smile, "Today I want to go to the Criminal Department to do something, you go with me." ”

"Okay." Shi Yuechan nodded obediently and followed Huai Yuan out of the inn.

Huai Yuan did not call a carriage or ride a horse, and the group walked away.

Huai Yuan said, "It's still early, and the time I made with that person hasn't arrived yet, so I can take you around." ”

"You're bothered." Shi Yuechan said gratefully, she had been to the capital in her previous life, but she didn't take a good look around, and it was also a good choice to follow Lord Huaiyuan to visit the imperial capital at this moment.

The imperial capital is bustling and noisy, but Huai Yuan and Shi Yuechan are quiet here, as if they are in the entire lively street market, but it is another world.

Shi Yuechan watched the excitement in the quiet, Lord Huaiyuan didn't speak, she didn't speak, and followed Lord Huaiyuan from the street to the end of the street.

"Have you ever been to the capital?" Huai Yuan suddenly asked.

The unique silence was broken, Shi Yuechan paused, she said, "I haven't been here, it's the first time I've come to the capital?!" How could you have such a question? ”

"I see that you are no stranger to the capital." Huai Yuan remembered Shi Yuechan's eyes when she entered the capital.

Can this also be seen?

This is comparable to the ability to read minds, how did Lord Huaiyuan practice it?

However, Shi Yuechan was asked about this, except for some weakness, there was nothing left, not like the fear when she was seen through with Dugu Ling.

"It's because you're here, and I'm not afraid of getting lost with you, so ...... It's no stranger. Shi Yuechan blushed a little as she spoke, and she turned around and said, "Besides, my eldest uncle and his family are here, so they will be more or less kind to the capital." ”

"Speaking of which, you should go to your eldest uncle's house, but ......" Huai Yuan paused.

"I'm going to visit my uncle, but I want to...... I want to live in an inn, I don't want to stay at my uncle's house, I'm afraid to disturb them, I'm afraid they won't like it. Shi Yuechan said a number of reasons.

"So, then at the inn." Huai Yuan said, "You go to your uncle's house." It's not convenient for me to send someone to protect you. ”

"yes, it's safe to stay with you." Shi Yuechan also hurriedly said.

"But you still have to find time to go, if you don't want to go, can I accompany you?" Huai Yuan asked.

That's just as well. It's impossible not to go to the eldest uncle's house when you come to the imperial capital, right? Even if she doesn't want to go, then she has to go and see it, otherwise I'm afraid she will say that they are not in the fifth room.

"Okay." Shi Yuechan said.

"It's better to go tomorrow, and I'm going to enter the palace to meet the saint later." Huai Yuan said.

Shi Yuechan has not yet received the holy decree, but Lord Huaiyuan must be not wrong when he says so. "It's fine."

Huai Yuan walked to a restaurant, "Have lunch here." ”

It was already noon.

Although she didn't play anything in the morning, she just walked around, but she felt a little fast, and she didn't feel anything until noon.

Shi Yuechan followed Huai Yuan into the restaurant, and the shopkeeper had already led the way to introduce them to the private room.

Huai Yuan ordered the food, let Shi Yuechan sit, and the servant maid withdrew, leaving the pothos aunt to serve.

"You eat first, and I'll come when I go." I'll pick you up in a moment. Huai Yuan said.

Shi Yuechan knew that this restaurant was not far from the Criminal Department, and Lord Huaiyuan must be going to the Criminal Department at this time, she nodded and said, "You go to ...... quickly" The word "hurry up" She choked back in her stomach and changed her words, "Don't worry about me." ”

Huai Yuan got up, left the guards to protect Shi Yuechan, and only took Chu Yi to the Criminal Department.

As soon as Lord Huaiyuan left, Shi Yuechan turned from idle to boring. There is no taste for eating, and these dishes are not as delicious as those made by Lord Huaiyuan.

After Shi Yuechan ate a few bites, she picked up the dish with chopsticks, but did not eat again. Instead, he sat there and stunned.

Just when Shi Yuechan thought that Lord Huaiyuan would leave for a long time, the door of the private room was opened, and Lord Huaiyuan walked in from the outside, and saw that she seemed to be about to fall asleep, and smiled. "What? Isn't the food here delicious? ”

Shi Yuechan only took two breaths before and after, and suddenly became much more energetic, "No, it's just a little boring to eat alone." ”

Huai Yuan walked up to her and sat down, "Eat quickly." ”

After Shi Yuechan responded, she picked up the chopsticks again to eat, which was much more fragrant than what she had just eaten.

"The case of King Anyang and the case of the Qi family have landed." Huai Yuan said.

It turned out that Lord Huaiyuan went to the Criminal Department to see the case of the Qi family and the case of King Anyang!

It seems that these are all things related to her.

Shi Yuechan's gratitude was beyond words, she took the dish with chopsticks and sent it to Huaiyuan's bowl and said, "You eat it too." ”

After the two finished lunch together, Huai Yuan took Shi Yuechan back the original way, which was farther than going back to the inn directly, and walked the route of visiting the capital when he came again.

Along the way, there were stalls, there were jugglers, those children and some ordinary people watched and cheered, after a performance, when those people went over with plates to ask for copper plates, many people scattered in a hurry, and when those people performed again, they gathered again, some of these people have been there, and some of them have new faces and joined in to watch the performance.

"It deserves to be the imperial capital." Shi Yuechan sighed, "So prosperous. ”

When the group returned to the inn, Dugu Ling was still in the main hall, and he didn't know if he had been sitting here all this time and never left, or if he had just sat down here when they came back.

When Dugu Ling saw the two of them coming back, he got up and greeted them.

"Have you eaten? If you don't mind, have dinner together? Dugu Ling invited Shi Yuechan and Huai Yuan to say.

"Thank you for the hospitality, it's just that we've already eaten." Huai Yuan said.

Dugu Ling's gaze wandered from Huai Yuan to Shi Yuechan, and then returned to Huai Yuan, "Can Lord Huai Yuan play a game with me?" ”

"What's the game?" Huai Yuan asked.

"Go!" Dugu Ling said.

"Another day." Huai Yuan said.

Sometime?

Tomorrow they will enter the palace!

After a day or two, things are almost done, and the competition is about to begin, and after the competition, they will leave, and there will be basically no chance to find them after another day.

"Just today." Dugu Ling said, "You win, I will leave the inn, and I will not bother anymore, if you lose, I just want to be alone with Yuechan for a while...... Ask her a few questions. ”

When Huai Yuan heard this, he wanted to refuse, but he looked at Shi Yuechan first.

Shi Yuechan pursed her left lip and thought for a while, she nodded.

"How can I know if your promise is true?" Huai Yuan asked rhetorically.

Dugu Ling smiled when he heard this, "I, Dugu Ling, speak with all my words!" There will be no backtracking! If I lose, I will definitely not look for Lord Huaiyuan and Miss Shi again! If I repent, I will not die well! On the contrary, if I win, I will just say a few words to Yuechan! ”

Huai Yuan pondered for a moment, anyway, there is no other important thing this afternoon, no matter what this bet is, if it can be exchanged for a clean one, it is not bad, "A game will be won or lost." ”

"Deal!" Dugu Ling said.

……

In a game of chess, several places of Tian Yuan have already fallen, and Lord Huaiyuan and Dugu Ling each occupy half of the terrain.

Lord Huaiyuan's expression was too weak and comfortable, and he was a little leisurely.

Dugu Ling is a little more serious in comparison, it doesn't seem to be related to playing chess, but the pressure from his opponent makes him have to be cautious, and he takes every move very carefully.

Shi Yuechan watched the battle from the sidelines, but she was a little anxious in her heart, she believed that Lord Huaiyuan would win, so she agreed and asked Lord Huaiyuan to also agree to Dugu Ling's request, but this game of chess did not end for a moment and there was no result, so she could not feel at ease for a moment.

……

I thought that the game would end soon, but unexpectedly, Lord Huaiyuan and Dugu Ling played from afternoon to evening, and a third of the place on the chessboard was still empty.

At this moment, Lord Huaiyuan and Dugu Ling are on par, although Lord Huaiyuan occupies a little more territory, but from the perspective of the situation, there is not much advantage.

Each formation in the chessboard is very sharp, Dugu Ling loses the chess game if he loses one more point, and Lord Huaiyuan loses the chess game if he loses two more points.

The whole chess game has entered the most critical moment.

Dugu Ling, who had been silent and had no movement, suddenly fell off the chessboard.

Lord Huaiyuan followed a son, Dugu Ling didn't think about it for a long time like Fang Cai, and quickly dropped the chessboard again.

Lord Huaiyuan followed another son, and then Dugu Ling had another son...... For a while, the game between the two suddenly became intense.

However, Dugu Ling took a son in his hand, but did not go down, but stared at the chessboard without saying a word and did not make the next move, his face was quite indifferent, but his eyes were complex and abnormal, with fear, killing, and wisdom......

A backgammon hangs in the air for about a moment, but it still doesn't fall.

Shi Yuechan was a little anxious when she waited.

But suddenly, Dugu Ling connected with the third son again, and Lord Huaiyuan also followed the third son, but when the third son landed, he took a soft breath. (To be continued.) )
