Every three o'clock in the afternoon, the merchants would inevitably come to Ji Lie, play chess for an hour, and then leave. Ji Lie respects the merchants very much, and he is also a teacher and friend with the merchants, and never talks about anything else. However, the merchant took the initiative to tell Ji Lie that his name was Ji Huai, a native of Lu State, and he was forced to stay here because Chen Guo and Zhao Guo were about to go to war, and as for playing chess, that was his greatest hobby in his life.

Of course Ji Lie believed what Ji Huai said, because Ji Lie felt that he had nothing to remember, but others taught him to play chess, which benefited him a lot. However, Ji Lie did not tell Ji Huai his real name, he said that his name was Yu Lie and he was from the Song Dynasty.

For this reason, Ji Lie felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Yu Lie, you come down and fight a game."

Although the beautiful woman said that Ji Lie was a child, Ji Huai didn't think so, whether it was chess strength or chess skills, Ji Lie impressed him, and he was by no means comparable to a naughty boy, but he didn't dare to refute the words of his owner.

Ji Lie jumped down from the haystack, Xiao Yu saw Ji Huai coming, she was even happier than Ji Lie, and quickly took out two rolls of straw mats from the house and spread them under the haystack.

Ji Huai brought his own chessboard and chess pieces, and the two sat on the straw mat, Xiao Yu served on the side, making tea while quietly watching the two sides fall.

Not far away, Xiong Zhan sat on the threshold with a war hammer, Song Rang watched the falling flowers fly by the window, Tian Zhong likes to stand on a high place, because the high place can make his longbow play the greatest role, Tian Li is in the shadow where the sun can't shine, his hard bow is the most tricky, with huge penetrating power, Huo Xun squatted on the ground, as if counting a few ants passing by.

After a while, Ji Huai grabbed the chess pieces and said with a smile: "When playing chess, the heart must be quiet, and the spirit must be far away. ”

Ji Lie pressed down and didn't speak, secretly calming down. Ji Huai didn't care either, although the time they got along was short, he knew that Ji Lie had never said much, and he was a rare chess talent.

The two sides fell one after another, Ji Lie was a beginner after all, and he fell behind in a short time, but he was not in a hurry or irritated, and every step was very stable until he finally lost.

Ji Huai picked up the chess pieces with satisfaction and said: "Chess is not about winning or losing, but in the process of deciding the outcome of the game, your chess strength has grown, and you will definitely become a generation of national players in time." I had hoped to spend more time with you, but most of the things in the world backfired, you know, Chen Guo and Zhaoguo are already negotiating peace, and it won't take long to clear customs. ”

Ji Lie was overjoyed in his heart, and the chess piece fell to the ground and was about to speak. Xiao Yu grabbed ahead of him and cheered: "Really? As he spoke, he picked up another bowl of tea, handed it to Ji Huai, and said, "Master Ji, please drink tea, thank you Master Ji for teaching my brother chess." "In the heart of the beautiful little maid, anyone who treats Ji Lie well is a good person.

"Of course there will be no fakes."

Ji Huai smiled and took the tea bowl, and smiled meaningfully at Xiao Yu and Ji Lie, with his keen eye, how could he not see the difference in Ji Lie's identity, although Ji Lie said that Xiao Yu and himself were brother and sister, but how could he not see that they were actually masters and servants, and those strong men who were always around Ji Lie, they were not like ordinary fishermen, but more like Ji Lie's guards.

It's just that for Ji Huai, who Ji Lie is has nothing to do with him, he just took a fancy to Ji Lie's chess path, so when Xiao Yu lowered his head to look at his toes, and Ji Lie was also embarrassed, Ji Huai said again: "The world is big, you and I know each other is also fate, if you still encounter trouble another day, you can inform me, you don't have to refuse now." ”

Ji Lie's heart was hot, and he almost revealed his identity, and hurriedly sighed: "Thank you, Master Ji, if the road ahead is really blocked, the student will definitely visit." ”

"Haha......"

Ji Huai pointed at Ji Lie and laughed, smiling easily and proudly: "If you can respect me as a teacher, it will not be in vain for these days, and if you leave, this pot of chess will be given to you." As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and got up, walked to the gate of the courtyard, but suddenly turned around and asked, "Is the woman you were eyeing old with you?" ”

"Woman?" Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows, her face changed slightly, and she subconsciously hooked her fingers.

Ji Lie was afraid that she would find out the sickle hidden in the dark, so he hurriedly said: "It's too far away, and the students don't see it clearly, as if it's an old person." ”

Ji Huai said: "I think it's the servant woman of the store's Xinna, if you have an old relationship with her, you might as well go to the backyard kitchen to have a look." With that, he turned and left.

As soon as he left, Xiao Yu jumped on the grass pile with a 'whoosh', and looked around, the inn of "Moxianglou" was as sparse as the well field, and there were maids and all kinds of people shuttling in the distance from time to time, but there was no woman.

Xiao Yu could only jump down and was about to ask Ji Lie, but when she saw Ji Lie looking at her upright, her eyes were flustered, she involuntarily lowered her head, and said softly: "Look, what are you looking at?" Ever since she was in the same car that day, she felt that Hou Zi looked at her strangely.

Ji Lie said: "Where's your weapon?" "Those two scythes are hard to describe, they always come and go inexplicably, and Ji Lie has never seen clearly once where Xiao Yu took it out and where he put it.

"It's called Butterfly Wing, and I didn't have it with me." Xiao Yu's face was red, like the morning glow of spring, brilliant.

Ji Lie knew that she was lying, but he didn't break her, although she was wearing a tight waist and deep skirt, but the sleeves were fluffy and wide, and the two sickles were only a foot and a half long, which could be completely hidden.

At this time, Huo Xun and others came around, Ji Lie said what he had just seen the woman, and everyone fell into deep thought, they did not take in the woman, when they entered the city, the woman who had been following behind them suddenly disappeared, and now after many days, she appeared in front of her again, is there really such a coincidence in the world?

The honest Huo Xun frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Houzi, I didn't think there was anything in the past, after all, no matter how bizarre things are, there is a possibility of coincidence, but one after another coincidences are wrong." ”

Even he felt that it was wrong, and others were even more suspicious, Tian Li said: "Hou Zi, since Mr. Ji said that she is in the kitchen in the backyard, why don't we go and lie down now to see if it is a coincidence or ulterior motives for her to fall!" ”

Ji Lie's heart was also chaotic, on the one hand, he felt that the woman's behavior was extremely suspicious, but on the other hand, he felt that this matter was illogical, if she really had a ghost fetus, how could she be easily exposed in front of him?

Thinking, thinking, Ji Lie secretly felt a faint pain in his eyebrows, and his heart was restless, not only wanting to find out what was going on before, but also wanting to ignore it and see how she acted, because in recent days, Xue Miru, whose face was covered with blood, often appeared in his dreams, looking at him silently, and every time he woke up, he was covered in sweat.

Just when the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, but suddenly a thought came to him: This place is not suitable for a long time, and he must leave here quickly!

As soon as this thought appeared, it was out of control, Ji Lie's heart jumped, and he felt a cold swish on his neck, but there was no wind in the yard, and the sun was still shining on his body casting a long shadow, but this coldness was becoming more and more infiltrating, Ji Lie looked up suddenly, but saw that above the inn, a black bird passed by silently.

"Good news! Great news!! ”

The blackbird in the sky passed by, Xiao Hei and Ji Ying walked into the courtyard one after another, the little witch official was full of joy, walking was bumpy and bumpy, Ji Ying followed him silently, still looking cold.

Everyone looked at them, knowing that the good news that Xiao Hei said must be the matter of Chen Guo and Zhao Guo negotiating peace. However, after such a beating, Ji Lie's indescribable sense of crisis disappeared inexplicably, and he looked at the sky in amazement, but the black bird had already flown away and disappeared.

At this time, Xiao Hei had already approached and saw that everyone was looking at him like idiots, he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but want to show his ability, so he tilted his head slightly and said calmly: "Don't you want to know what the good news is?" ”

"I don't want to." Xiao Yu shook his head very dryly.

Xiao Hei knew that no matter what he did, the little maid would look down on him, and as a learned witch official, of course he would not deal with a little maid who had not yet grown up, he looked at the honest man Huo Xun and asked, "Don't you want to know?" ”

Who knows, the honest man who has always been used by him as a counterpoint asked him: "Could it be that you bought the customs clearance script?" After that, look at him like a fool.

"Huh?"

Xiao Hei was obviously not used to this kind of conversion, he was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I can't leave for the time being." ”

Huo Xun turned his head, took out a strip of cloth from his arms and wiped the board axe, and no longer paid attention to Xiao Hei. After more than ten days of getting along, unconsciously, they gradually got to know each other, Huo Xun knew that Xiao Hei was underbeaten, and he liked to play tricks, but if no one paid attention to him, he couldn't help but come out and show his wisdom.

Sure enough, Xiao Hei saw that everyone's interest was not high, and no one paid attention to him, so he could only say helplessly: "It's really good news, Chen Guo and Zhaoguo are ready to make peace, and a friend of mine who is a patriotic businessman has already promised me that he will help us get the customs clearance paper, and I want to come ......."

"That's not yet!" Before Xiao Hei's words were finished, Xiao Yu had already interrupted him and glanced at him coldly.

Blackie was hurt.

"Good news indeed." Ji Lie said.

……

The moonlight shone on Ji Lie's face through the window, he had just woken up, and just now he dreamed of Xue Mi again, still looking at him silently as before, it was this silent resentment that made Ji Lie soaked in cold sweat.

After a while, Ji Lie wiped his face, sat up blankly, grabbed the tiger evil sword under his neck, and looked at the night sky outside the window, the starry sky was lonely, and one star after another hung quietly in the sky.

Ji Lie exhaled a breath and tightened the sword in his hand again, feeling that he was afraid that he had really killed Xue Mi by mistake, otherwise, he would not be so uneasy, and in a blink of an eye, he remembered Yan Eighteen again, if it weren't for Yan Eighteen repeatedly telling him that the road ahead was only life and death, wouldn't he have made such a ruthless move?

No, I still do! Just like tonight, I knew that Ji Ying and Huo Xun were going to find the woman behind my back, but I didn't stop it.

Ji Lie stroked the sword and smiled bitterly, people sometimes even deceive themselves, but they can't deceive the true heart, it turns out that I am really a ruthless person.

At this time, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the window, Xiao Yu walked towards the house with a pot of gladiolus, and Ji Lie lay down with the sword in his arms, he didn't want the little maid to see his pale face and worry.
