Chapter Fifty-Nine: Men and Women Don't Kiss
The gentle and warm spring breeze blew again and again, the color of the willows on the bank of the river was a little deeper, the water of the Qinhuai River also flowed rapidly, the wind that swept across the river pushed the river, slapped on the stone wall on the bank, made a crisp sound, and the people along the river took their clothes to wash by the river, and talked about homely things between laughs.
Under the willow tree by the river, the sharp energy on the old man's body has dissipated without a trace, sitting on the edge of the stall, but he is also like a rich old man who ignores the world, talking and laughing to make people close.
After a fight on the chess stall, the opponent loses, and when the game is reviewed, he probably says something "what if this is the case", and the most ordinary words are that people in the game can hear something else. The old man probably really didn't pay attention to those people, so those insinuating questions were also answered by him simply.
Although the other old man who was the opponent had nothing on his face, he was a little lost in his heart, of course, he was not the kind of person who stalked him, and he didn't ask for more things. At the end of the review, the old man got up, said goodbye and left.
Qin Lao had already noticed the young man watching the chess next to him earlier, and he just gave a simple glance during the game, and at this time, there was no opponent, so he didn't pay attention to the opponent's level, and beckoned the young man to sit down opposite.
"I haven't seen you in some days." The old man said as he put away his chess, and the tone was like an ordinary conversation with his own children and nephews, but it was not too restrained.
Wang Ning's hand paused, and he smiled: "I'm not like an old man, I'm idle all day...... I'm busy! ”
The old man didn't think there was anything offensive about this, so he smiled and said curiously: "Look at you like this, you really don't look like a busy person!" ”
Saying this, the two of them have already guessed, and the old man has already taken the lead.
Whether it was playing chess or talking, it just started in such a calm atmosphere.
Halfway through the game, the old man had already frowned, hesitated for a long time before he fell down, and said, "It's still so insidious and cunning." ”
Wang Ning accepted this evaluation unceremoniously. In fact, the old man, as a chess master, has absorbed most of the past after seeing his "weird" play, and then when he uses the operation of a master, he becomes above board when he takes it out to deal with him. It is not easy to play this chess to the back.
Normally, it was a surprise to be able to win, but now it takes a lot of effort to win a game. The old man frowned, he was actually no better, but he had existed as a killer for so long, he consciously or unintentionally restrained his emotions, this breezy appearance was actually just a layer of disguise.
The old man was undecided, thought about it for a while, and threw in the towel.
The rest of the topic is similar to self-introduction. The old man asked some about Wang Ning, and he must have given him some kind of definition. Of course, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and such an inquiry will probably only make the future relationship between the two become smooth.
Later, he talked about some of the recent events in the city.
These things can basically be strung together, and the cause is still the war in the north. In the end, the imperial court sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and the preliminary terms and conditions had been decided. After the spread came out, there was naturally another quarrel within Shilin. The Taixue of Bianjing, a student named Chen Dong, took the lead in the book, and in a short period of time, it was already a lot of trouble.
When the old man talked about this, the fundamental reason was that he was worried about his old friend who had not long recovered, and that Du Xianggong still helped others to take the blame.
"I heard that today's officials intend to send troops to fight Xiliang, but I never thought that in the end, peace was negotiated."
The old man smiled bitterly: "If you really fight, you can't beat it, and if you fight back and forth, there will only be more deaths." After that, he couldn't help but feel sad, his eyes went to the north, and in his bright eyes, he seemed to really see the blood and fire in the north, "The matter of sending troops will not be possible for at least three or five years." ”
Wang Ning snorted and quipped: "The old man told me this, he really played the piano to the cow." ”
The old man smiled and didn't mind: "It's true that I can't see you so leisurely." ”
"It's a pity that no matter how much I say, it can't arouse my interest." Wang Ning said abruptly: "What's more, where can I do this kind of thing alone." ”
"That's exactly what happened." The old man has a deep understanding of the current situation, but it is boring to talk about it.
So they shut up and told some anecdotes about the city, and the laughter lasted for half an hour in the rush of the wind.
Wang Ning helped the old man collect the stall, and planned to send the old man back, but he was refused, and scolded with a smile, "Old man, you are really not interesting", Wang Ning didn't pay attention to it anymore, and walked away.
Wang Ning, who returned to the inn, had already restrained her thoughts, and before entering the house, she glanced at Su Xiaoyan's closed door, and guessed that she hadn't come back yet. Pushing the door in, I was bored for a while, moved a chair and sat at the window, watching the bustling flow of people on the street.
In the evening, there was movement outside, and after a while, his door was knocked open, and Su Xiaoyan, who was dressed in men's clothes, walked in, poured a cup of herbal tea at the table, and drank it, and then said with a sense of anger: "This matter may be a little troublesome...... Or you can help me kill two people. ”
Wang Ning looked at Su Xiaoyan's serious eyes, and said, "There are enough people who have died for a long time, and I am afraid that it is not good to die again." ”
Su Xiaoyan glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Didn't you say that you don't blink an eye when you kill someone, so you admit it?" ”
It is absolutely impossible to change Wang Ning with such a radical method, he looked at Su Xiaoyan and explained: "Of course I can not care, I can also kill someone and leave the country, but as a business opponent, the government will definitely pay attention to you." ”
"Are you worried about me?"
Wang Ning nodded, and said with a straight face: "I'm a nostalgic person, how can I say that we also have some feelings, I can't bear to watch you being targeted by those guys!" ”
"Aren't you already targeted?" Su Xiaoyan didn't care much, "Anyway, you're by my side." ”
This is a bit ambiguous, and there are contradictions with what she said before, but perhaps because of her rapid heartbeat, Su Xiaoyan didn't realize this.
She lowered her head, her white neck was facing Wang Ning, a few thin hairs on the back of her neck were messily exposed, and the light that came in from the window passed through the hair, and the slender fluffy hair on her cheeks became translucent.
Wang Ning retracted his gaze: "I can't stay by your side all the time!" ”
"Why not?" The voice was a little high, with a hint of nervousness and panic, but he subconsciously asked, and when he came back to his senses, his daughter's family was blushing, but she stared at Wang Ning without admitting defeat.
Wang Ning was furious, and hurriedly quipped: "Men and women don't kiss!" ”
