Yan Qi was not embarrassed, and took out the chess set with a smile: "I saw this chess set by chance, and at first glance I thought it was my brother's thing, so I bought it." The smile became more sincere: "No, I sent it to my brother in a hurry." ”

Jiang Ji glanced at it and didn't answer.

Yan Qi explained: "That, there were some things to discuss with Qin Er yesterday, so it was inconvenient to ask my brother to come over. ”

"Fresh meat was brought from the house today, and it is excellent to eat it grilled or sliced and shabu-shabu."

"Can my brother enjoy the light?"

Jiang Ji is not an unreasonable person.

It's not that it's wrong and unforgiving.

Again, this chessboard is really to the heart's content.

Reluctantly bowed his head: "Let the seventh son break the bank." Then he took the chess set: "Thank you." ”

Yan Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother is too polite, this is what I should do." ”

Jiang Ji is very useful.

Measuring the chess pieces in the chessboard and chess box, his eyes became more and more satisfied, and he smiled: "I'll use it today." ”

The two fought several rounds and the results were mixed.

The squirrel came in and asked for lunch, and Yan Qi said, "Jiang Lingran hasn't returned yet?" ”

The squirrel shook his head.

Jiang Ji said: "Then wait for her to come back, see what she wants to eat, and then let the kitchen make it." Then he said, "The third uncle doesn't have to wait for us to be together." ”

The squirrel retreated.

After another quarter of an hour, a word came from the palace that Jiang Lingran was left in the palace by the queen for lunch, and returned after lunch.

Jiang Ji looked at Yan Qi even more, and then looked at Yan Qi: "Let's make do with some food." ”

Yan Qi nodded yes.

Jiang Ji said again: "What do you want to eat?" ”

"I don't know." Jiang Lingran didn't come back, and Yan Qi didn't have an appetite for eating: "You look at the orders." ”

Jiang Ji thought for a while: "I just heard you barbecue, I'm a little greedy, let's eat barbecue, right?" ”

Is this also called improvising to eat? Yan Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then drink?" ”

Jiang Ji paused and smashed his mouth: "If you don't drink, is it a shortcoming?" ”

Yan Qi nodded approvingly and glanced at his knees: "Can you drink now?" ”

Jiang Ji shook his head.

"Then don't eat it." Yan Qi said: "If you drink wine, Jiang Lingran can pick my skin when he comes back." ”

In the end, the two of them only had a bowl of wontons and a pancake, and they passed the lunch.

After lunch, I don't take a lunch break and continue to play chess.

It wasn't until evening that Jiang Lingran came back from the palace that the two stopped.

Jiang Lingran glanced at Yan Qi, asked with his eyes, coaxed?

Yan Qi winked at her proudly.

Jiang Lingran pursed his lips and chuckled.

..........

In the Pingsu Marquis Mansion, Meng Zhipei was drunk all day long and didn't know day and night.

When I woke up, I sat up rubbing my sore forehead, and the room was a little dim without a light.

He looked at the light outside the window, his irritated expression froze, and he didn't move for a moment.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, he moved his stiff legs and feet, and took his shoes to stay.

"Yunxi?"

"Zhou?"

A few calls were made, but no one responded.

"What about people!!" He snorted, and an irritable look rose between his brows.

When he walked to the door, he put his fingers on the deadbolt that he hadn't touched for a long time, and pulled his hands inward at the same time.

The door creaked open.

The eye-catching scenery made Meng Zhipei stunned in place.

The ground in the courtyard is sparsely left with unswept fallen leaves, the red plum tank that originally raised goldfish has broken somewhere, the withered yellow leaves are half covered with goldfish that have long been shriveled and eaten by ants, and several bird cages hanging under the porch are swaying from side to side by the wind, and the birds in the cages are also dead.

His eyes trembled with a heavy sense of surprise, and his palms fell weakly from the deadbolt, and he had the illusion that he hadn't woken up from wine for a while.

What is this place!?

The sound of the wind whimpered, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and the smell of the damp smell that had not been cleaned up for a long time, and hit Meng Zhipei's face.

He came back to his senses with excitement, shivered coldly, and didn't bother to go back to get dressed, so he ran to the courtyard in a panic, and first touched the break of the big Weng tank.

A sharp sensation piercing the fingertips, a very real feeling.

This is not a dream.

It's not that the wine is not sober.

Meng Zhipei straightened up in panic, looked around the courtyard, was stunned for a few breaths, gritted his teeth and roared: "What about people? Where are the people dead! ”

He's drinking, he's ridiculous, he's indifferent, but he's not dead!!

He is still the "king" of this house!

How dare they spoil his yard like this!

How dare you fool him like this!!

Roars echoed through the empty courtyard.

No one responded for a long time.

Little by little, the twilight squeezed out the light, and all around him could be heard only the sound of the wind and his heavy breathing.

The cold wind wrapped around his body, freezing his muscles and bones hurt.

Meng Zhipei's fists were released and clenched, I don't know if it was cold or what, his face gradually turned pale, and his heart gradually aroused panic.

"Someone... Is anyone there? Speaking again, it has eased up a lot.

The faint sound was blown away by the wind.

Still no one responded.

He swallowed and moved his heavy feet, but he didn't know where to go.

What is going on with this strange thing...

"Yo, Master Hou, you're awake."

A voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Meng Zhipei was distracted, and was frightened by this sudden sound.

Turning his head and seeing that the person who came was Wang Lu, he was angry and rushed up to the spiritual cover.

Glaring at Wang Lu with a cracked squint, he stepped forward: "Dog thing! ”

"What the hell is going on!!"

The voice did not fall, and the feet were raised.

Seeing that a heavy foot was about to fall on his body, at a critical moment, Wang Lu dodged and avoided it.

Meng Zhipei kicked in the air and fell to the ground unable to stand the force.

The anger in his heart reached an incomprehensible height, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes seemed to be about to shatter Wang Lu's corpse: "Miscellaneous, you still dare to hide!" ”

"Hou Ye is angry." Wang Lu smiled, his eyes stared at Meng Zhipei, his palm reached into his arms, and he took out an object.

Meng Zhipei saw the sharp cold light, and the whole person suddenly froze: "You... What do you want? ”

Wang Lu shook the knife in his hand and smiled extremely happily: "Kill you." ”

"You dare!" Meng Zhipei's eyes widened suddenly, stood up with his hands, and roared: "I'm the Hou Ye!" ”

"Yes, no one denies the identity of your Hou Ye." Wang Lu nodded: "But does this have anything to do with me trying to kill you?" ”

Meng Zhipei choked.

Seeing that he was not joking, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out, shouting as he ran.

But no one responded.

As he ran, he gradually gained his footing.

Because, this mansion, which he has lived in since he was born, is no longer a stranger and even he doesn't know it.

Standing on the heavy dead leaves, he looked around, all black and lifeless.

There was a sudden chill in his lower back, and a suffocating pain hit him, and he opened his mouth wide in pain, but his throat and eyes could not make a sound.

Wang Lu stuck to him and said with a low smile: "Master Hou, you can't catch up if you run so fast!" ”

As he spoke, he twisted the knife in his hand.

Meng Zhipei suppressed a painful roar in his throat, turned around and shook his hand vigorously, waving away the person behind him.

Wang Lu dodged and took a few steps back.

But Meng Zhipei was unable to support it and fell on Lin.

The palm of his hand pressed against his lower back, and the bubbling heat dyed the dead leaves under his body little by little.
