CHAPTER XXXIV

It seems that the game is about to start in earnest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yijiang's eyes were half-narrowed, and a glimmer of light flashed.

*

Xia Qi sat on the bed in the main courtyard of the White Tiger Hall with his knees crossed, and did not open the door for a day. She looked a little tired, motionless, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Princess, but do you want some dinner?" The maid knocked on the door.

Xia Qi was awakened from her thoughts, only to realize that she had been in a daze for a whole day.

"Come in."

She got up, changed into clothes, sat down in front of the mirror, and picked up the makeup on her face.

At yesterday's dinner, Xia Qi sang a song, and her mind and momentum shocked the audience.

She didn't care what other people were saying, she just looked up and looked around, and her eyes instinctively wanted to chase someone's back.

Only Qi Chi knew who she wanted to see.

Qi Chi tugged at the hem of her clothes slightly, and whispered a few words in Xia Qi's ear.

Xia Qi sighed and chatted with Lin Yuji and Xiang Chang. When the bright moon gradually set, Xia Qi left the banquet under the pretext of physical fatigue.

After she left, Lin Yao, who was not interested, also waved his hand, and finally let go of these restless civil and military officials.

The ladies and officials didn't want to spend any more time in this former Shura field.

In the largest backyard of the White Tiger Palace, Xia Qi changed into a cumbersome costume, wiped off the rouge and gouache on his face, and just tied his long hair with big waves with a strip of cloth.

"Xia Qi ......" Qi Chi hesitated, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

What was going on, and why did he look at the two of them as if they were complete strangers?

"Otherwise, let's go to the second brother's mansion tomorrow to find him and ask him what happened."

Even if he really wanted to treat them as irrelevant people thoroughly, it was impossible to turn away the princess of the Western Regions who came to Xie specially to turn them away.

"...... him too," Xia Qi wanted to say and stopped.

She looked up, her long, narrow eyes reflecting the silhouette of the crescent moon that was hidden behind the dark clouds.

Ming Xiang's standing figure seemed to still appear in front of her. "But I don't know, what kind of mood did the princess have before she embarked on the journey to Chu State?"

A simple sentence suddenly dispersed the fog in Xia Qi's heart.

She is the princess of the Western Regions, and it was only after repeated discussions with her father that she made up her mind to block the future and her life for her country.

If the whole thing hasn't started yet, there may be a turnaround. But now that everything is like an arrow on a string, it has to be sent, what excuse do you have to choose to retreat?

She and Yijiang will only be strangers after all.

Xia Qi's hands clenched slightly, and he turned around and showed a gentle smile to Qi Chi, "It's not early, it's time to rest." ”

It's a dreamless night.

When Qi Chi opened his eyes again, it was already early morning on the second day.

She yawned, changed her clothes and walked out the door.

"Has the princess ever gotten up?" Qi Chi asked the maid.

The maid gave a blessing. "The candles in the princess's house have been lit for a long time, and it seems that they go to bed in the early hours of the morning."

Qi Chi stopped the maid from wanting to wake up Xia Qi. She sighed, a hint of concern on her face. "In that case, let her rest for a while."

What Xia Qi was thinking, even if she didn't know, she could guess a few points.

It's just that God always pushes the development of the story in unexpected directions as if he was joking with others.

If four years ago, she, Yijiang and Xiao Yugui had not reached out to Xia Qi who was in danger, nor had they escorted her back to the palace, would the wheel of fate still retain its original trajectory?

Qi Chi took care of the things that should be dealt with instead of Xia Qi, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, looked through the wall of the inner palace, and looked in the direction of the south from afar.

She thought that she would also get the news of her and Xia Qi and appear here. But the other party's appearance of not knowing them at all, is it really just pretending......

Qi Chi, who grew up with Yijiang since childhood, also doubted his judgment.

That is clearly the attitude of treating strangers with sincerity.

If he really came for himself, what could the walls of the inner palace, together with the guards in the inner palace, stop him, then why didn't he explain it to himself?

Moreover, as a disciple of Tianji who can't enter the WTO casually, why did he inexplicably become a second-grade general?

There are too many questions piled up in Qi Chi's mind, and I can't find a clue for a while.

"Miss Qi Chi."

When Qi Chi didn't notice, a small yellow door seemed to pass by her inadvertently, and quietly stuffed a strip of cloth into her hand.

Qi Chi frowned, glanced at the small yellow door, and opened the cloth on his hand.

Her face changed dramatically.

"What is this?"

*

The streets on the south side of Luoyang are full of streams.

Probably because there are a large number of different shops here, which makes it more convenient to buy items, it is more than a hundred times more lively than other areas in Luoyang.

A woman dressed in coarse cloth and a hat hid her face and walked into a pastry shop by the roadside.

"What do you want from this girl?" The shopkeeper of the pastry shop is a short and fat aunt. The aunt was full of smiles, and she was very festive at first glance, and greeted warmly.

The woman looked at the pastries in the shop, ordered three random ones, then thought about it and asked. "Is there a jujube cake with extra sugar?"

The aunt looked at her as if she were a little surprised. "Ouch, my girl, this jujube cake is already very sweet, where can I add another sugar."

"I'm tired of the shopkeeper to sit down some, I can later." The girl replied.

The shopkeeper glanced around the shop to make sure no one noticed the situation.

"It's no problem to do it, but I'm embarrassed to let the girl wait outside." The aunt hesitated, then gave up her body and led the woman to the backyard of the shop. "Girl, you might as well sit here for a while."

The woman nodded.

When the aunt walked out of the backyard, she carefully closed the door of the back hall and locked it by the way.

When she walked back to the counter again, her kind smile turned cold, and she treated the customer with a look of ignorance, as if she was afraid that the other party would stay for a long time.

The woman took it off her pocket in the back hall. A head of hair poured out, looking at the eyebrows and eyes, although a simple outline change has been made, it is not difficult to see that it is Qi Chi.

Qi Chi's fists clenched and loosened, his face full of confusion.

Until there was a slight 'click' in the direction of the kitchen in the back hall, and a man pushed the door and walked in.

Just seeing the man's face clearly, Qi Chi finally couldn't help but pounce on it all at once, with tears shining in his eyes. "Big brother!"
