230: Chess
Nalan Jinxiu originally felt that this matter should be cut through the mess quickly, and that Saihuatuo should be caught first, and then interrogated carefully, so that more people must not be caught by this Gu worm. But she felt that the third brother must have his reasons for doing this, and besides, he considered things much more thoroughly than herself, so she didn't refute it.
"It's not difficult to find out, and the results will come out tonight. Ji Hongye's seemingly unintentional explanation was actually reassuring her.
"So fast?"
"Of course, since you have determined that the Gu worms he put are harmful things, there is no need to be polite. Stabilize first, see what they want to do, and when the purpose is clear, control them. ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded, and said, "Have you paid attention to the sedan chair behind the man, I think there must be something inside." ”
Ji Hongye recalled, he also felt that the sedan chair was unusual at that time, first of all, its color was a very conspicuous green, and it was all over the body. That color will also be very eye-catching in the crowd, and it will have a hint of evil. But she couldn't figure it out, if there was really a mechanism in the sedan chair, then it should be dressed up as normal, wouldn't it be too eye-catching?
"The answer will be there tonight. Ji Hongye's tone was very determined.
Nalan Jinxiu doesn't know where the third brother's self-confidence comes from, this matter seems to be quite tricky, can it really be solved overnight?
"Are you going to go in person at night?"
"It depends on the mood. Ji Hongye was arranging the pendant tassels under the folding fan for her, looking very serious.
"Is it a good mood to go, or is it a bad mood?"
She must have wanted to go if she asked like this, Ji Hongye knew it in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. What he was thinking about was that he didn't look like he was begging for someone, and the tassels of the pendant had already been sorted out, but he just didn't bother to look up.
Nalan Jinxiu is very curious about Gu worms, the master has taught her some, but the time to teach is limited, and she is relatively shallow in learning, especially compared to the Gu cultivators of the Demon Temple. If you can see the real Gu cultivators and understand their Gu raising techniques, you will definitely benefit a lot.
She also knew that the third brother was waiting for her to beg him, but this time she didn't want him to succeed. So she sighed in disappointment, and her tone was even more regretful: "I was going to go with you to see it, but since you don't want to go, forget it!"
When Ji Hongye heard her words, he didn't bother to raise his eyelids, and he didn't want to tease her.
Nalan Jinxiu waited for a long time and didn't see the third brother express her position, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, did the third brother really not plan to go? But she really wanted to go. So she pretended to be surprised, and the gods chattered: "Gu cultivators are very mysterious, and it is said that they can use Gu worms to kill people invisibly. Those guards you sent are not well-versed in medical science, so they probably don't know how to take precautions, or I'll follow!"
"If you go, it will delay their work, and you will have to send a special team to protect you. ”
"You don't need a team, one is enough for Ji Xiaobai or Ye Bing. ”
Ji Hongye tidied up his sleeves before he said helplessly: "If you want to go, why can't you beg me?"
Nalan Jinxiu's face was black, I really don't know when the third brother's face became so big, this kind of thing is embarrassed to ask, it sounds like a child. Thinking like this, but she didn't dare to say it anyway, she smiled and said, "How do I know if you want to go or not?"
"Does it matter if I want to or not?"
"Of course it's important, your identity is there, the leader of our team, if you don't want to go, who dares to force you?"
"Boss?" Ji Hongye felt that her word was very heavy.
"It's the leader, the leader. She explained seriously, and even blinked her eyes, her face full of innocence.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? ”
Nalan Jinxiu had no choice but to draw a scoop on the gourd, just like before, and kissed him on the cheek, but this time it was slightly perfunctory compared to the last time. Ji Hongye wanted to coerce and lure, but she spoke first: "If you see it, take it, otherwise I really won't go." ”
"If you don't go, don't go, it's cold at night, and I'm afraid you'll catch the cold. Ji Hongye's words are sincere, after she returned to Northern Xinjiang, she seemed to be treated harshly, and the whole person was very thin, but she grew a lot taller.
As soon as Nalan Jinxiu saw him talking seriously, she knew that the third brother really didn't plan to let her go. She was a little anxious and said all the nice things, but her third brother was still unmoved. She was helpless, her mouth pursed, and she was angry: "Then I'll go by myself." ”
"Dare?"
Nalan Jinxiu nodded, originally planning to say something, but didn't say a word because of the void.
"I'm getting bolder. Ji Hongye originally wanted to tease her, but in the end he relented. Rubbing the top of her hair, seeing that her brows were still not stretched, he pressed her eyebrows with his fingertips again, and said softly: "That's it, if you want to go, it's up to you." ”
Nalan Jinxiu suddenly smiled, hooked his neck with both hands, pecked him on the lips, and said with a smile: "Thank you, third brother." ”
Ji Hongye lowered his head and hooked the corners of his lips. I don't know what this girl thinks, if she had such a good attitude at the beginning, how could there be those tongues later? It seems that she can't follow her all the time, otherwise she won't learn to be well-behaved.
Nalan Jinxiu and Ji Hongye were in the inn all afternoon. Ji Hongye read the Buddhist scriptures leisurely, and I don't know if it was because he had reached Yunshui Zen Heart, or if he had been addicted to this recently, in short, he could sit in front of the window and watch it all afternoon. Nalan Jinxiu was bored and was about to grow hair, she took the chessboard and wanted to play chess with him.
Ji Hongye glanced at her lightly, and said very ruthlessly, "Are you sure you can go down to me?"
"Not sure, but you can give it a try. ”
So, Ji Hongye put aside the Buddhist scriptures and played against her. That is, half a cup of tea, Nalan Jinxiu lost a piece of armor without leaving a piece of armor. Her eyes widened, and she pestered Ji Hongye to play another game, and the result was naturally the same.
"It's boring, it feels like I'm accompanying a doll. Ji Hongye put the chess pieces back in the box and went to get his own Buddhist scriptures.
Nalan Jinxiu really didn't want him to read the Buddhist scriptures again, he looked like an old monk. The most important thing is that the third brother reads the Buddhist scriptures, she has nothing to do, let her read and write, she is unwilling, and she used to be able to read the book, but she didn't read less books all the way, and she was tired of reading it.
"You'll stay with me for a while!" she said flatteringly.
"Don't!" he refused with a cold face, completely non-negotiable.
Nalan Jinxiu's eyes rolled, and he felt that he could only use the killer weapon. So, she came to him aggrievedly, pointed to the Buddhist scriptures and asked, "Does the third brother like it or me?"
"What do you say?" Ji Hongye's originally calm eyebrows and eyes had a little smile, thinking that she was going to compete with this dead thing for favor.
"I think you like it better. ”
"How?"
"Look, you've been with him all afternoon, let you play chess with me for a while, just two games, and you'll be impatient. ”
"It's your chess game, it's really miserable. ”
Being pointed out so bluntly that the shortcomings were pointed out by Nalan Jinxiu not at all, but were straightforward: "Then you can teach me." ”
Ji Hongye sighed: "How to teach this thing?"
"Teach me how you learn!"
"The teacher who taught me how to play chess lost to me the next day. ”
"You ......" Nalan Jinxiu frowned, does he want to hit people like this? She thought for a while, and then had an idea: "The people in Jinling City know that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if I am found to be so poor in chess, you will definitely follow suit." Especially those classmates who are jealous of you will definitely use the topic to play and laugh at you. ”
"Do you think they dare?"
"Naturally, they don't dare in front of you, but they can't tell behind your back. ”
"This is what I said behind my back, so why should I care about that? Besides, it's you who is not good at chess, what does it have to do with me?"
There was a subtle smile in Ji Hongye's eyes, and there was a lot of teasing in that smile, but unfortunately Nalan Jinxiu didn't notice it at all. She pulled his sleeve with her hand, and said very naturally: "Am I not your wife? They all say that husband and wife are one, and I am laughed at, how can I have nothing to do with you?"
Hearing what he wanted to hear, Ji Hongye's heart was happy, and as soon as he was happy, he would naturally follow her in everything. He attributed this reaction to nature, if he didn't comfort himself like this, he would feel a little awkward in his heart, after all, he never thought that he would one day be controlled by others, and there was no bottom line and no consideration.
"That's all I'll teach you. His voice was helpless and resigned.
Nalan Jinxiu happily sorted out the chess pieces, and the two played a few more games, and the result was still the same. This time it was Nalan Jinxiu's turn to lose her breath, she threw the chess pieces on the table, and accused: "You obviously didn't teach me this just now!"
"It was a different situation just now. ”
"Now you're teaching me how to play chess, so I should follow the situation so I can remember. You're always changing, my head feels like it's been stuffed with paste, and I don't have a clue at all. ”
Ji Hongye good-naturedly put the chess pieces into the box one by one, sorted out the chessboard cleanly, and patiently explained: "When playing, no situation is absolutely the same, different people will have different considerations, you just need to remember one thing to respond to all changes." ”
"Which point?"
"Victory. "It's so simple that it couldn't be simpler.
