"I just received a pigeon biography from Childe." Clever said, "Childe said that the young lady will wait for him for a few days." ”

Qi Yan frowned invisibly: "A few days? ”

Smart nodded: "Childe didn't say anything for a few days...... However, according to what I know about Childe, it shouldn't be too long. ”

"I see." Qi Yan was about to wave her hand to let Congming leave, but for some reason, she asked, "Xie Fuyi, are you in any trouble?" ”

Mingming licked his lips, shook his head, and said, "There may be some minor troubles, but young lady, please rest assured, Childe will definitely be able to solve it!" It's going to be fine! ”

When Qi Yan heard this, he nodded lightly, but he didn't ask anything more.

"Then I'll go down." Clever said.

"Yes." Qi Yan bowed his head.

After the smart retreat, Qi Yan twisted his chin and fell into thought.

"Young lady?" Full Moon walked up to Qi Yan and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Yan looked at the full moon from his contemplation: "It's okay." ”

"Clever said, don't worry about Childe......" Full Moon said, "Childe will be fine." ”

Qi Yan smiled and said, "Okay, go to bed." ”

Smart said that Xie Fu Yi came back a few days later, but for a few days, smart can't be sure, and Qi Yan doesn't know.

During Xie Fuyi's absence, Qi Yan except for occasionally going to see Doctor Zhang, the rest of the time was to see Luo Twelve.

"Why hasn't your aunt come back yet?" Qi Yan came to Aunt Luo's residence again.

Luo Twelve's maid looked the same as yesterday, with a sad look, and asked bitterly, "Young lady, do you have any news of Aunt Luo?" ”

Qi Yan shook his head.

"It stands to reason that she should be back......," Qi Yan said, his brows furrowed and nervous.

"Should you be back?" The maid hurriedly asked, "Young lady, what do you mean by this?" ”

Qi Yan didn't want to say anything more to the maid, and Luo Twelve didn't tell the maid about Doctor Zhang.

"Xie Fuyi didn't come back, you don't have to be afraid." Qi Yan comforted Luo Twelve's maid.

"Young lady, you say...... My name is aunt, it can't be an accident, right? The maid asked uneasily.

Qi Yan couldn't tell what was wrong with Luo Twelve, she could only say: "I'll find a way to find her, so be it." ”

"Young lady!" The maid looked at Qi Yan gratefully, "Aunt Luo will entrust it to you!" ”

Qi Yan waved his hand and left from Luo Twelve's residence.

Little Full Moon followed Qi Yan all the way out of Aunt Luo's residence, and Full Moon not only asked, "Young lady, where are you going to find Aunt Luo?" ”

"I don't know." Qi Yan said, "Now that Doctor Zhang has appeared, I have even been looking for him for so long...... Luo Twelve didn't even have any news at all. ”

Full Moon couldn't help but think of the maid's words, hesitated, and asked, "...... Is something really wrong? ”

"It seems that there is a big possibility." Qi Yan rubbed his eyebrows.

"So what to do?" Full Moon hurriedly asked.

"Let's go to the government first." Qi Yan said.

"Official?"

"Yes."

The full moon was puzzled: "Why did you go to the official mansion?" ”

Qi Yan spread his hands: "If something happens, the people generally report to the official." ”

"That's right!" Full Moon patted her head, "Look at my brain!" ”

"And ......," Qi Yan added, "Governor Zhou will help me." ”

"Yes, yes!" Full Moon said, "The young lady won the Zhou Governor's Mansion in chess, if you ask him for the news, he will definitely tell you." ”

"Let's go."

…………

…………

When Qi Yan followed the full moon to ask to see Zhou Qian, it was really as the full moon said, it was very smooth.

Zhou Qian heard that Qi Yan was coming, so he smiled and asked people to take her to the back of the yamen, and he himself came out to greet her.

"Young Mrs. Xie, are you here?" Zhou Qian stroked his white beard and said, "Are you here to play chess with me?" Hurry up, hurry up! ”

"No......" Qi Yan was a little embarrassed and said, "I came today to ask the adults something." ”

"Don't play chess......" Lord Zhou was a little disappointed.

Qi Yan said: "I was able to win last time, it was all luck!" Master Zhou, my chess skills are really ......."

"Alas, no matter what, you won me." As soon as Zhou Qian waved his hand, if he lost, he would lose, and if he won, he won, "If you have something today, we won't play chess, next time, next time we will play the next game!" ”

Qi Yan could only agree with a dry smile: "Okay." ”

"Say it." Zhou Qian invited Qi Yan to take a seat and asked, "What do you want to ask me?" ”

"In the past seven or eight days, have there been any cases in Youzhou?"

"The case?" Zhou Qian said, "Which kind are you asking?" ”

"Ask both." Qi Yan scratched the back of his head and said, "As long as it's a case." ”

"That's a lot." Zhou Qian said, "From petty theft to being caught, to life lawsuits, there are all kinds of things." ”

"I'm tired of Lord Zhou, tell me about it."

"Okay!" Zhou Qian likes Qi Yan and responds to her needs.

"But ......," Zhou Qian said, "it's not interesting to say that, or ...... Let's play chess and say? ”

Qi Yan didn't expect that he was hiding around and still hadn't escaped this chess idiot.

Let's play, Qi Yan thought brokenly, anyway, his chess skills will be exposed sooner or later.

"Okay." Qi Yan nodded.

Zhou Qian was very happy, her white hair and white beard were shining, and she waved her hand: "Come on, hurry up and serve tea and set up a chessboard!" ”

"Yes."

…………

…………

Qi Yan and Zhou Qian faced each other.

Like last time, Zhou Qian took the lead in black, and Qi Yan watched Zhou Qian drop a word, and he immediately fell.

"Lord Zhou, you won't be distracted this way, right?" Qi Yan asked.

"No, it won't." Zhou Qian waved his hand and said, "I'll just play chess with you and tell you about the recent case, but it's you, don't listen too distracted." ”

"Yes."

"I'll start with a case of a husband who killed his wife in yesterday's trial......

"Ugh." Qi Yan scratched the tip of his nose and said, "This kind of case that doesn't involve outsiders, let's not talk about it." ”

Zhou Qian dropped the sunspot and looked up at Qi Yan: "No outsiders involved?" ”

"Yes." Qi Yan said, "If it is a dispute between the locals in Youzhou, you can not talk about it." ”

"Then there won't be many cases left."

"Let's talk about these cases first." Qi Yan picked up a white piece and put it down.

"Okay."

Zhou Qian was unhurried, and talked to Qi Yan about the case in Youzhou while falling into the ground.

Qi Yan listened to it three times in a row, but he didn't say anything.

Until Zhou Qian said the fourth case, Qi Yan held Bai Zi's hand and paused slightly, but Bai Zi did not fall for a long time.

Zhou Qian couldn't help but look at Qi Yan: "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Qi Yan shook her head, and she paused, not because of the case she heard, but because of Zhou Qian's chess move.

This time it turned out to be the same as last time, the more Qi Yan played chess, the more familiar he became......

Zhou Qian on the other side, the sunspot that has fallen now, Qi Yan is extremely familiar! Because when Xie Fuyi played chess with her before, he also fell like this.

Qi Yan slowly dropped the white son in his hand.

Zhou Qian looked at the chessboard, first amazed, and then focused...... Lord Zhou even forgot to tell Qi Yan about the case.

Qi Yan didn't rush.

After looking at Zhou Qian and hesitating for a long time, he fell into the sunspot.

The position of Luozi is the same as that of Xie Fuyi before.

Sure enough......

Qi Yan said in his heart, Xie Fuyi asked her to play chess was not a coincidence, but had a deep meaning.

Now it is not so much that she is playing chess with Zhou Qian, but that she is reviewing the chess game she once played with Xie Fuyi.

"I lost...... Zhou Qian put down the chess pieces and arched his hand at Qi Yan, "Young lady, I admire your chess skills." ”

The corners of Qi Yan's mouth twitched, she wanted to prevaricate with "coincidence", but looking at Zhou Qian, who was so serious and enthusiastic, she really couldn't say those two words.

"I don't know, who is the young lady's teacher?" Zhou Qian asked.

Qi Yan said, "Xie Fu Yi." ”

"Who?"

"Xie Fu Yi......" Qi Yan replied, and silently added in his heart, he asked me to play chess, just to defeat you.

"Gongzi Xie is your master?" Zhou Qian was too surprised and a little unconvinced.

"Sort of." Qi Yan said.

"So...... Xie Gongzi's chess skills are better? Zhou Qian asked.

Qi Yan nodded: "If you have time, Lord Zhou can find him for the next game." ”

"I will!" Zhou Qian's eyes flashed with the light of ambition.

Qi Yan coughed dryly, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Zhou...... Are there any other cases? ”

"Oh, let's move on, I'll continue." Zhou Qian said.

Qi Yan: "......"

After that, Lord Zhou and Qi Yan played another game, and it was no surprise that he lost again, but this time Qi Yan took a long time, although her moves were used to overcome Zhou Qian, but Zhou Qian was making rapid progress.

Zhou Qian looked at the chess game he lost for the third time, stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Serve!" Be completely convinced! ”

Qi Yan exhaled lightly, playing chess with Zhou Qian was not as easy as before.

"Young lady, let's have another game!" Zhou Qian said.

Qi Yan: "......"

"Your Excellency." At this time, Yacha walked in, and he said, "The newly captured prisoner in the cell has committed suicide. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Zhou Qian stood up.

He said to Qi Yan: "Young lady, today's chess game is here, I still have something to do." ”

"Slow down, adults." Qi Yan stood up and saluted and said, "I'm going to say goodbye too." ”

Zhou Qian asked his subordinates to give them away for him, and Qi Yan saw Zhou Qian leave.

"The prisoner in the first room ......" Qi Yan muttered, when he was playing chess just now, Zhou Qian told him about this prisoner, a smuggling merchant from the country of Rus.

Qi Yan didn't take this matter to heart and left the mansion.

…………

…………

Full Moon followed behind Qi Yan, and after the two walked out of the mansion, Little Full Moon asked, "Young lady, Aunt Luo still has no news......

When Zhou Qian and Qi Yan were playing chess and talking about the case just now, Xiao Manyue also listened attentively.

Qi Yan sighed and said, "Yes......"

When I went to see Governor Zhou this time, I didn't hear the news of Aunt Luo, but it made her more sure that Xie Fuyi taught her to play chess, and she must be thinking about something!

Full Moon tilted her head to look at Qi Yan and asked, "Young lady, where are we going next?" Are you still going to see Dr. Zhang? ”

"I'm not going to see him." Qi Yan said.

Full Moon was surprised: "Aren't you going to see Doctor Zhang today?" ”

"Yes." Qi Yan said, "Go back today." ”

Full Moon blinked: "Go home? ”

"yes." Qi Yan nodded and walked towards the Xie family's mansion.

…………

…………

When Qi Yan returned to Xie's house, it was just lunchtime, and Qi Yan, who had eaten lunch, went out again, and when he returned to Xie's house again, it was already dusk.

Just in time for dinner.

Qi Yan looked at the table full of food, looking at the empty opposite......

In the past few days, Xie Fuyi has not eaten with her, and Qi Yan has been distracted from the beginning, and now he has begun to slowly get used to it.

So, the habit is really scary.

"Young lady?" Jiang Xiaoyuan's words brought Qi Yan's consciousness back, "Isn't it unappetizing?" ”

Qi Yan shook his head and smiled: "No, it's delicious." ”

After dinner, as always, after Qi Yan washed up, he went into the inner room and lay down.

“……”

The moonlight was exceptionally good tonight, and the moonlight crept into the house through the window lattice, and lay in all directions on the ground......

Qi Yan stared at the bed tent, and didn't immediately close her eyes and sleep as usual.

"Xie Fu Yi......" Qi Yan muttered to himself, he taught himself to play chess, and he also specialized in Zhou Qian's chess path, why?

"What the hell are you up to......" Qi Yan turned over and frowned, "Xie Fu Yi......"

"Thinking about me?" At this time, a voice rang out.

Qi Yan was startled, sat up suddenly, her eyes widened, and she looked at Xie Fuyi, who was standing not far away,

"You...... You...... When did you get back? Qi Yan asked.

"Just came back." Xie Fuyi said, slowly and unstoppably approaching Qi Yan.

The boxy moonlight fell on his shoulders, and his eyebrows and eyes were crumbled, like ripples on the surface of a lake, and there seemed to be a flood beast hidden under this ripple!

Qi Yan was shocked, she had an intuition that Xie Fu Yi was going to lie beside her!

"Ahem!" Qi Yan immediately got off the bed, she put on a dress at random, stood by the bed, her voice was a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Not yet."

"There's food outside, you eat some first and make up for it." Qi Yan nugged his chin and motioned for Xie Fu Yi to eat the snacks on the table in the outer room.

"I'm not very hungry." Xie Fu Yi looked at Qi Yan without blinking.

Qi Yan dodged and said, "You eat slowly, I'll breathe first." ”

As he spoke, he walked out, but just after taking two steps, he let Xie Fu Yi grab his wrist from the side.

Qi Yan's body stiffened, and the tense strings tightened: "Do you want to do it?!" ”

I only heard Xie Fu Yi sigh softly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Qi Yan, stay with me for a while." ”

"I said, I'm going out to breathe." Qi Yan said, shook his hand, and wanted to go out.

But Xie Fu Yi didn't let go, his voice was slow and low, and he seemed to be tired in his prayer: "Just for a while, okay?" ”

Qi Yan licked his lips: "If you're not hungry, just rest early." ”

As he spoke, he shook off Xie Fu Yi without hesitation.

Xie Fu Yi probably didn't expect Qi Yan to be so resolute, his arm was thrown away fiercely, and he covered his arm and snorted in pain.
