Although there is only a rustic bluestone hanging flower gate separating it, the back garden of General Yunze's mansion is very different from the almost desolate front garden of the main hall.

Facing the hanging flower door, I saw a shadow wall made of mountains and stones in front of me. The mountain stone is very different from the Taihu Lake stone that Chang'an is accustomed to, it does not pay attention to the elegance of thinness and leakage, but it is a heavy and tired sitting on the Sumeru seat, although it is very clumsy, but it is green all over, after the sun shines, the stone is full of jade brilliance, very good-looking.

Qin Nanxi was secretly smiling at the dignified Zhenyuan General's Mansion was such a nondescript layout, and his body was gently led by the woman named A Luo, skirted the mountain rocks, and went forward.

On the bluestone road in the courtyard, the snow has been cleared, a few small pear trees, sparsely planted under the west chamber, a pair of delicate half-human high small copper cylinders under the trees, the water stored in the tanks has been condensed into crystal clear ice. The main room is nothing special, under the eaves of the east chamber, there is a pair of stone tables and chairs, on the table, there is a scale of bronze chessboard, and the stars on the plate are scattered with blue and ink jade.

"Someone still playing chess here in such a big snow?" Xiao Fei's eyes and feet were fast, and he jumped to the stone table in a few steps, and looked at it carefully while twisting a green jade chess piece, while puzzled.

"Hey, be careful!" Seeing this, Ah Luo let go of Qin Nanxi, flashed forward, and snatched the chess pieces from Xiao Fei's hand.

Qin Nanxi suddenly lost Ah Luo's support, his center of gravity shifted, and he fell. The "ah" in her mouth was not fully spoken, and her leaning body was supported by herself.

Naturally, it's Situ Yi again. He hugged her from a distance and walked down to the east wing.

He clearly saw that Ah Luo almost caused her to fall, but he only raised his eyes and glanced at Ah Luo, without the slightest reproach in his eyes, and even looked at Ah Luo with a smile on his face.

Ah Luo stood in front of the table, holding the green jade in her hand, bowing her head and studying the chessboard seriously, for a long time, she hesitated to put the chess piece on the board, then raised her head and looked at Situ Yi as if asking for help.

Situ Yi didn't say anything, only smiled and nodded to her. When Ah Luo saw it, she put her mind at ease, smiled sweetly, floated back, and took Qin Nanxi from his hand.

Xiao Fei stood to the side with his hands in his hands, looking at the three people with different expressions in front of him with a look of surprise and puzzlement.

Qin Nanxi felt like an object passing back and forth in the hands of the two of them, and secretly became angry. She glanced at the chessboard hatefully, only to see that the general trend on the board was stalemate, Mozi could not advance or retreat, and Qingzi was also offensive and defensive, evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

"It's clearly a stalemate, what's the point of putting it on?" The disdain at the corner of Qin Nanxi's lips was secretly cast to Ah Luo, who was beside him with a soft and gentle face. She could see that Ah Luo didn't actually know chess, but just memorized the position of the chess pieces and kept the situation for the chess player for the follow-up.

"Not necessarily." Situ Yi on the side didn't notice the anger in Qin Nanxi's words at all, stepped forward and picked up a mozi, and seriously dropped it, then raised his head and said proudly, "I've thought about it for a long time, there are tricks to break in this game, and if both sides blindly attacked and defended before, it was inevitable that the stalemate would be difficult to break." As long as you take retreat as advance and seek a glimmer of life, you see, in this way, Qingzi will really lose. ”

"Do you still have time to think about the chess game?" A cold voice came from the East Cross Garden.

"Ruoqing" Situ Yi looked back in response, his tone was brisk, and Qin Nanxi's gaze followed him.

There is such a person in this world, he wears a moon-white brocade thick cloak, and he is hungry inside and wears the same color clothes, and even the buckle around his waist should be the color of moon white. His whole body is like a bright moon, the soft light is infinite, but it is cold and noble, it is clearly in front of him, but it seems to be hanging thousands of miles away. He limped slowly into the field of vision, even if he lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, Qin Nanxi still only thought of "thin as bamboo, clean and elegant as the moon".

"Ruoqing, this is Su Jiu." Situ Yi introduced to the visitor, Qin Nanxi bent down with difficulty to salute, and Ah Luo was attentively supporting him.

After hearing this, he leaned slightly, raised his hand and said, "Fortunately, in Xia Yunze Liuqi, the word Ruoqing, now the general's mansion is writing." ”

He is Mr. Liu in Song's mother's mouth, Situ Yi's staff Qingke. Qin Nanxi thought to herself secretly and got up. I saw that the man was leaning on a wooden staff next to his left leg, and it turned out that he was leaning slightly because his left leg was damaged, and he had to rely on the strength of the wooden staff.

"Sure enough, there is no gold and no one is perfect." Qin Nanxi secretly regretted in his heart, his eyes slowly raised, and when he fell on his face, he was still a little shocked.

Most of the man's face was covered with a white silk mask, and on the snow-white mask, two long black holes opened in the position of his eyes, and there was only a bottomless darkness in the holes, and on his bare cheeks, he could only see that the complexion was like moonlight, so pale that it was almost transparent.

Regret had quietly turned into fear, Qin Nanxi bit the corner of her lip, and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid the ghost-like black eyes behind the mask. Seeing her reaction, the man was vaguely stunned, and silently took two steps back.

"Sir." Ah Luo, who was beside her, called out with concern. Qin Nanxi knew that he was out of shape, so he blushed and bent down again, and bowed.

"Ruoqing, Su Jiu's foot injury is not light, although I have reset her, I still want you to take a second look." Situ Yi on the side broke the embarrassment in a timely manner.

Hearing this, Liu Qi held the crutches with his left hand, turned sideways and pointed to the east door, said "please" and led the way in front of him.

Qin Nanxi was dragged into the east wing by A Luo. Although the snow in the garden is still deep, this room is as warm as spring, and where the eyes fall, you can see the good silver charcoal burning in the charcoal pot in the middle of the hall. On the left hand side is a Qi-topped Hundred Treasure Pavilion, which puts a small hall into two sides inside and outside. Outside the east is the table and chair table for welcoming guests, all sprinkled with the light can be seen, there is also a large wooden collapse under the south wall, a small wooden table collapsed, I want to come to Liu Qi every day is here to meet guests.

A Luo was holding Qin Nanxi and was about to collapse to the east, but saw Liu Qijing bypassing the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and leading a few people inward. Ah Luo's feet were stagnant, so she had to help Qin Nanxi to follow.

The compartment is not spacious, there is a large pear wood bookcase in the center, on which there are several ancient inkstones and two celadon pen holders and an equally elegant pen wash, and there are two sheep hairs on the side of the pen mountain, and the ink marks on the nib are still wet. On the left is a rosewood burner and several scrolls of calligraphy and painting. Under the west window, there is a small pear wood piano platform, and an ebony guqin on the stage. Under the north wall, a delicate pear wood collapsed, and the collapse was thickly covered with splendid bedding.

Liu Qi pointed to the pear wood collapse, and said politely to Qin Nanxi, "Please". After that, he went to the copper basin in the corner to go to the hand. Situ Yi was silent, only sat down behind the bookcase, and Xiao Fei was left unattended, so he quietly stood on the base of the wall.

A Luo pressed Qin Nanxi to the collapse, left her and turned to the bookcase, took out a few pieces of agarwood incense from a small brocade box, put it into the incense burner, and turned to go out.

Qin Nanxi was sitting on pins and needles on the collapse, and it took a long time to see Liu Qi coming over slowly. He had already taken off his cloak, and he was dressed in a moon-white brocade thick suit, which looked even more elegant and delicate on him.

Qin Nanxi was just about to get up politely, Liu Qi raised his hand, stopped her expressionlessly, and then lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down in front of the collapse. I saw his pale red lips move slightly, squeezing out a cold voice

"Offended". Before the words fell, he had raised his hand to lift Qin Nanxi's injured foot, neatly took off the heavy leather boots on her feet, and slowly checked it along her bone veins through a layer of silk stockings.

His fingers were cold, and through the thin silk stockings, Qin Nanxi felt a trace of cold penetrate her body, but his methods were very gentle and careful, as if he was worried that she would have the slightest pain and discomfort.

Silently looking at the strange person in front of him, Qin Nanxi's heart moved inexplicably, Liu Qi, Liu Ruoqing, Yun Ze Liu surnamed .......
