Su Qiange choked on a sip of old wine, her face was flushed with coughing, and Xue Chen patted her back for a long time, and she was relieved a little.

Xiao Deng Bainian was so frightened by the scene in front of him that the meat on the chopsticks fell off, and he didn't know if he was wrong or if it was not the right time, and when Su Qiange eased up, he glanced at Xiao Li beside him in a panic.

But looking at Xiao Li's appearance, it seems that he doesn't know what's going on.

Summoning up his courage, Xiao Deng put down his chopsticks and asked Su Qiange cautiously, "Palm...... Shopkeeper, are you alright? Am I saying something wrong? ”

Su Qiange hurriedly shook his hand and took a bite of the torn steamed bun that Xue Chen handed over, which was barely over.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but glance at Xue Chen's hand handing over the steamed buns, secretive, and then turned their heads to look at Su Qiange, waiting for an answer from the shopkeeper.

Being watched, Xue Chen's eyes when he looked at Su Qiange were also secretive, which made Su Qiange's throat tighten, his mouth was dry instantly, and he hurriedly said, "Don't look at me like that, I was just surprised by this news, don't the guests in our store often mention the little marquis." ”

"yes!" Seeing that it was okay, Xiao Deng smiled and opened the gossip god's upper body, "Don't you know, Xiao Hou Ye is a god in the eyes of these chess nerds, simply put, he is a high-level version of the second shopkeeper." ”

Saying that, Xiao Deng also gave Xiao Li a flying eye and asked Xiao Li if it was.

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xue Chen, and found that Xue Chen did not want to echo or oppose this remark, so he nodded and cooperated with Xiao Deng.

Su Qiange, who knew the truth and had to cooperate with acting, nodded knowingly.

"That'...... That little marquis is very powerful! ”

Hearing this, Lao Huang pouted the corners of his mouth, and was seen by Xiao Deng, grabbing and asking Lao Huang if he was not convinced.

"It's not a question of whether I'm convinced or not, I haven't seen the little marquis's chess skills, but even if he is there, the second shopkeeper can beat him."

Xiao Deng couldn't help but lean back, squinting and looking at Lao Huang with disdain, and almost pasted the word "licking dog" on Lao Huang's face, if it weren't for the fact that the second shopkeeper was in front of him, he really wanted to complain on the spot.

This time Xiao Deng was caught by Lao Huang, "What's the matter, you're not convinced?" ”

Xiao Deng gave Lao Huang a "you ruthless" look, and then said, "I'm not unconvinced, I haven't seen Xiao Hou play chess, and the second shopkeeper is really good." ”

The two of them were fighting there, and Su Qiange was watching from the side, terrified, afraid that Xue Chen would be forced to reveal his identity.

Feeling Su Qiange's uneasiness, Xue Chen reached out and patted her on the back and didn't say anything, but Su Qiange inexplicably calmed down.

At the end of the meal, everyone went back to their homes.

Xue Chen accompanied Su Qiange on the way home, and both of them walked very slowly, probably because they knew that they couldn't accompany each other on this road for a long time.

"Two days to go." Su Qiange said.

"Yes."

"Got it figured out, are you sure you don't tell anyone?" Su Qiange tilted her head to look at Xue Chen, she watched Xue Chen's long and thick eyelashes flash twice, like a black butterfly about to fly away.

"Don't tell everyone, after all, it's not a good thing, and ......" Xue Chen turned his head and touched Su Qiange's head with a smile, and said softly, "Not everyone is like you, with such a strong heart." ”

Although he enjoyed this kind of touching, Su Qiange still pouted dissatisfiedly at Xue Chen's remarks.

"You're going to be able to bully me."

"Hey, how dare I bully you?"

"Hey, then you really don't know what to do!"

Xue Chen, "......"

Su Qiange, "......"

The two of them are always like this, they quarrel while talking, it seems to have become their daily routine, they are too used to it, but this time, they are arguing and arguing and silent, and the air suddenly becomes sticky.

It was still Su Qiange who opened his mouth first, and it was still the disgusting taste.

"Actually, it's good not to tell my father and mother about this, so that they don't have to be frightened at such an age, as for Xiao Deng and Lao Huang, they will definitely show off everywhere if they know it, and then the water and clouds will be stepped on the threshold, and I don't have so many hands to deal with this matter."

Hearing this, Xue Chen couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, anyway, this person loves to be hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.

"I'll stabilize ...... when I go back"

Xue Chen was stopped by Su Qiange as soon as he was halfway through his words, his warm fingers were on his lips, the touch was very wonderful, he could kiss her fingerprints, but he didn't know how to respond, and he was still stunned on the ground.

I saw Su Qiange blinking smartly, "At this time, don't talk casually, the promise is to be fulfilled." ”

After speaking, Su Qiange withdrew his fingers, and his heart turned a thousand times.

How many TV series, movies, and lessons to people, casually making promises before the battle will definitely not come true! Even if it is to be realized, it will take a lot of effort, twists and turns, and it is sad.

Thinking that Su Qiange thought he was joking, Xue Chen said with a serious face, "I can." ”

"Not necessarily!" Su Qiange said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Xue Chen, "...... Do you want to break the contract? Don't want me anymore? ”

"How is that possible? I finally caught the golden beetle! I'll hold your thighs tightly and let you not dump me, I'm too late! Saying that, Su Qiange clasped his arms and said, "If the reality didn't allow it, I would have already bet you to get a marriage paperwork!" ”

As he spoke, Su Qiange glared at Xue Chen, who was suppressing his smile, viciously.

"Let me tell you, if you dare to take advantage of my absence after you go back, you will find other women at dusk, and I will go to the door of your palace to cry, the kind that cries in the dark!"

Xue Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you must come, I'm worried that you won't come." ”

This time, Su Qiange didn't speak, while glaring at Xue Chen, he reached out and pulled Xue Chen's hand into his arms, grabbed it, hugged it, and refused to let go tightly.

Looking at Su Qiange's cute horn bun, Xue Chen was led all the way and laughed all the way, and when he got home, he found that the corners of his mouth were stiff, and he was smiling even when he slept.

Under the moonlight, Su Qiange looked at the very scribbled drawings written by himself in front of him at the lamp oil, and then glanced at the thin stack of books next to him, and sighed.

Or reluctant, but what's the use of reluctance?

The papyrus is recognized by all modern people, and it is a standard mind map, with the words on the side - "Report on the Future Development Feasibility of Water and Clouds".

As for the cover of the book, there is no writing yet, so I can't recognize it for the time being.

Folding the development report and putting it in the notebook, Su Qiange blew out the oil lamp, turned his head and got into bed, and it was one day closer to Xue Chen leaving Qingcheng County.

Pingnan Hou Mansion.

There are no flickering candle flames, here, there are brick walls everywhere, the luminous body is the night pearl from the East China Sea, this is Xue Qian's private basement, just below the old marquis's house, and the owner who built it is not worried about being discovered at all.

Xue Qian looked at Lao Luo who came back, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of gloom.

"The attack was attempted, so you came back?" Xue Chen gritted his teeth, and every word was gloomy and cold.

Lao Luo still relied on a face, aggrieved, covering his injured arm, "Master, it's not that I want to retreat, it's really wrong information, if I continue to stay, I will definitely die!" ”

Xue Qian frowned. "Mistaken?"

Finding an opportunity to refute, Lao Luo immediately said, "Yes! The original tip I received was only Zheng Ren and the three stinkers, but I didn't expect the four to be there! My arm is four badly wounded! ”

Although only two of them made a move, those two people were also among the four obedients, and Lao Luo had the right to act as a collective of the four obedients.

But he thought about it carefully, if Xue Qian couldn't see it, it would make people laugh and be generous.

Looking at Lao Luo's pitiful appearance, Xue Qian smiled, "Really? The four obedient hands only hurt one of your arms, so it seems that your skills have been improving recently! ”

Hearing that Lao Luo's neck was cold, he immediately realized that something was not good, but even if things were not good, he had no way to retreat now, this place was Xue Qian's basement, the sound insulation effect was good, and it was complicated to escape, he could only be caught anywhere, he could only hold back this fear now and kneel in place.

pulled out a stiff smile and replied to Xue Qian, Lao Luo said, "I...... I'm not diligent, I can only say I'm lucky. ”

Hearing this, Xue Qian's face stiffened, "I hate the word luck the most." ”

Some people are lucky to stand on the finish line of others from birth, and those who are not lucky can only fight with them by their own efforts.

Just like Xue Chen and him, lucky people are lucky because they are born, so there will not be many tribulations along the way when they are born, but unfortunate people will only be more unlucky, so Xue Qian hates "lucky".

Lao Luo knelt on the cold air emanating from Xue Qian's body, which could be felt from a distance, and his head was lowered and he wanted to stuff it directly into his chest.

Standing up from his position, Xue Qian walked to Lao Luo's side, slowly drew the long sword from the waist of the guard standing beside Lao Luo, and cut off one of Lao Luo's arms.

Lao Luo frowned in pain, but he didn't dare to fall to the ground like this.

If this one falls down after the meeting, it will not only be a wounded arm, but a whole head.

Xue Qian's deep voice sounded over Lao Luo's head.

"Next time you don't do well, just report the mass grave, there's no need to go to great lengths to lie to me."

Lao Luo gritted his teeth in pain, "Yes." ”

Inserting the long sword back into the guard's waist, Xue Qian turned to Lao Luo and said, "Go out." ”

Lao Luo pressed his bloody arm, tilted his body, and walked out of the secret room under the leadership of the guards.

Xue Qian returned to his seat, looked at the night pearl inlaid on the rosewood, his eyes were cold, he didn't know what he was thinking, and then waved to the guards beside him.

The guards stepped forward, and Xue Qian said in a low voice, "Go and ask Beikuang to bring people, and before Xue Chen leaves Qingcheng County, hang them." Zheng Ren, they and the four obedients should not stay. ”

The guards were ordered to leave.

Looking at the glittering Night Pearl, Xue Qian smiled slightly, reached out and pulled it from the rosewood raw, pinched it in his hand, pinched it, and laughed at the powder of the Night Pearl flowing down from his hand.

"And you want everyone along the way to supervise me for you? Then you're wrong in this idea, Xue Chen. Xue Qian smiled and shook his head, "I'll let you die before you leave Qingcheng County." ”

Inside, the light of the other night pearls seemed to have dimmed, as if they were mourning for the kind of people who died in vain, and as if they were worried that such a disaster would one day befall them.

Following.

The door of the water cloud room has already set up a sign that will not entertain outsiders today.
