Chapter 146: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
"This peach blossom brew in Pei County is really a unique one in the ages! Yan'er, can you take a look at the recipe with me? ”
In the mountain pavilion, Fang Hai lay alone, poured himself a drink, cup after cup, wanted to indulge in it, and was awakened by the breeze from time to time.
Outside the pavilion, on the edge of the cliff and rock, the painting Yan looked far away, stood quietly, and suddenly heard the words of Fang Hai behind him, and slowly returned to his senses.
She raised her hand, put the glass that had not moved for a long time to her lips, and drank it down.
She wiped the wine stains on her mouth casually with her long sleeves, looked at the clouds within reach of the sky, and smiled heroically: "When you are drunk, the cool breeze rises, and you blow people to dance their sleeves back to ......"
Fang Hai looked back drunkenly, and was stunned for a while.
I saw that under the glow, the slender figure of the painting face appeared alone, the green silk was tactful, and the skirt fluttered, like a fairy flying into the sky.
After a while, there was still no response.
Hua Yan turned around slightly, looked at Fang Haidao with a smile: "What?" Is this drunk? ”
Fang Hai regained his senses, smiled awkwardly, and changed the topic: "Don't interrupt, the recipe brewed by peach blossoms, do you give it?" ”
Huayan smiled helplessly: "If you want it, I'll give it naturally, this time you can rest assured, right?" ”
Fang Hai replied with an absent-minded smile: "Since you have spoken, I am naturally relieved. ”
Hua Yan shook his head, and unconsciously looked back at the path at the foot of the mountain.
"I said, you've been standing there for more than an hour, are you tired? Why don't you come and play chess with me? Fang Hai put down the flask, sat up staggeringly, and began to lay out the chessboard in his hand.
"What a beautiful sunset, let me see it for a while." The painting was unmoved, but his eyes were only staring at the bottom of the mountain.
"Don't worry! Sheng Lan and Limu teamed up, and they couldn't deal with those little minions? You just have to sit down and drink in peace. Fang Hai placed the chessboard neatly and turned his head to greet Huayan.
A convoy of horses slowly drove into the eyeliner of the painted face.
She smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the pavilion. "Who says I'm worried about them? I'm just looking at the scenery. Do you want to play chess? Don't be afraid to lose! She came to sit down opposite Fang Hai, picked up a sunspot, and fell into the chessboard.
Fang Hai held Baizi and followed closely. He stared at the chessboard, and suddenly laughed, "The Queen Mother and the others must be so angry that they can't sleep all night!" I have to say, Yan's trick is wonderful! ”
Huayan fell again, and answered the question: "That's nature, playing chess, no one has won me yet." So, do you want to throw in the towel? ”
Fang Hai raised his head and glanced at the painted face, and the deacon slowly fell, "It's just that I'm afraid that the Queen Mother won't give up and start a big war." ”
Painted Yan Grip pondered, "Hmm...... I was negligent......"
Fang Hai put down the chess pieces, leaned closer and asked, "I think, let's go back to Taoyuan, it's safest there." ”
"There it is!" The painting face flashed with inspiration, and he fell decisively, approaching the lifeline of Baizi. She smiled again and said, "Although the situation is dangerous, the winner has always sought victory in the midst of danger. But don't be too optimistic about this, for me, winning in danger is not to show off the ability to win the battle, but just to find a thrill. She put all the pieces in her hand back into the box, stretched, and lay lazily on the cushion.
It's no wonder that she can't keep up her spirits all day long, but this spring breeze is strong and warm.
Fang Hai looked at Hua Yan as if he didn't understand, "What does Yan Er mean, he has already played with the imperial court in the palm of his bones?" It's not that I don't have confidence in Yan'er, I just want to ask, where does Yan'er get her confidence? ”
Hua Yan snatched the wine jug in Fang Hai's hand and drank it himself, closed his eyes, listened to the wind, and smiled faintly, "Because I have already won." ”
Fang Haidun was puzzled, and when he was puzzled, his eyes fell on the chessboard on the table, and there were many sunspots, so he woke up, "It turns out that Yan'er refers to the chess game." ”
Hua Yan put the empty wine jug under his head, simply lay down completely, and said faintly, "The world is not like this game of chess." ”
Fang Hai's heart froze, and he couldn't help but secretly admire.
"Okay, don't be bored, I'll accompany you in the next game, this time I promise not to win too quickly." Seeing that Fang Hai was silent for a long time, Hua Yan was unhappy when he lost the chess, so he sat up, set up the chessboard, and played with him.
Fang Hai was unconvinced, "Don't talk too early, it's not certain who wins and who loses, I won't let you this time." ”
Huayan smiled silently, still picked up the sunspot and took the first step.
A burst of footsteps sounded in the silent mountain, and gradually approached the mountain pavilion.
Limu walked into the pavilion, glanced at Fang Hai, turned to Huayan and said in a low voice: "Sister Yan, everything is done." ”
Huayan stared at the chessboard, without raising his head, and asked, "Is it his person?" ”
Limu looked at the dried blood stains of the halberd in his hand, bowed his head and replied, "Everything is as Sister Yan expected. However, General Zhu was still accompanied by a woman. ”
"Woman? Who is it? ”
"General Zhu's daughter, Zhu Biyu."
It turned out to be her, and it seems that Zhu Chaoshi's mind is not simple. Painted Yan thought to himself.
"I see." Hua Yan nodded, and was about to fall, when he suddenly withdrew his hand.
A strong smell of blood rippled in the wind.
Huayan frowned slightly, looked back at Limu, and asked nervously, "Limu, are you injured?!" ”
Limu shook his head and replied, "Sister Yan, don't worry, I don't." ”
Hua Yan followed Fang Hai's gaze and looked back, only to find that the smell of blood was emitted by the halberd in Limu's hand.
Hua Yan's eyes were cold, and he looked at the chess game again, "Okay, you're tired too, go back and rest." ”
"Yes, leave the wood first." Limu glanced at Fang Hai again, leaned over and retreated slightly.
Hua Yan raised his head and looked away from the wood, and suddenly asked Fang Hai, "Do you think the wood has changed?" ”
"How's it becoming?" Fang Hai asked.
Huayan pondered: "I have become mature and steady, and I have fewer words." ”
Fang Haidao: "He should also grow up" He suddenly raised his head and looked at Huayan steadily, "I think you have changed." ”
"Oh? Tell me, 'What has changed of me?' Hua Yan withdrew his gaze and stared at the chess game again.
Fang Hai shifted his gaze, Zhizi pondered, and slowly fell again, "In the past, you never killed. ”
Painting Yan Juzi paused slightly, and said with a smile: "People will always grow up." ”
Fang Hai nodded lightly, "I didn't mean to accuse you......"
"I know. I never regret the decision I made. Hua Yan interrupted.
Fang Hai's heart sank, and he looked at the painting with an unfamiliar look.
What she means is that even if she is blamed by the world, she will not hesitate to kill whoever she wants to kill.
She has indeed changed, and she is no longer the innocent and lively little girl under the peach blossom tree in the past!
Hua Yan raised his head and looked at Fang Hai suspiciously, "It's your turn." ”
Fang Hai came back to his senses and hurriedly left a son.
"Why didn't Yan'er let the shepherd come to Pei County together? Besides, with the shepherd escort on the side, it saves trouble, and there is no need to hurriedly send Limu and Shenglan to the rescue. If there is a delay on the way, Zhu Chaoshi's life will not be guaranteed. This trip is too dangerous! Fang Hai changed the subject.
Painted Yan smiled happily, "That's interesting." If it is escorted by a shepherd, it will not achieve such an effect. ”
Fang Hai put down the chess pieces in his hand and asked, "Are you playing tricks on people again?" ”
Huayan smiled heartily, "It's worthy of being brothers who grew up together, and they still know me as well as they used to." ”
Fang Hai shook his head helplessly, "You, you, which play have you arranged?" ”
"Since you know me so well, might as well take a guess?" The painting smiled mysteriously, and then fell again.
Fang Hai thought for a moment and said, "Are you deliberately letting the shepherd leave halfway?" So that those thieves can meet Zhu Chaoshi? ”
Hua Yan stared at the chessboard and nodded, "Keep guessing." ”
"I don't know about this from now on, Yan'er, say it quickly!" Fang Hai put down the chess pieces in Hua Yan's hand, looked at her and said.
Seeing that he couldn't play chess, he opened a new pot of wine, poured a full glass, and after drinking, he said slowly: "Actually, this matter is not complicated, I just use my strength to fight." She looked into Fang Hai's eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, the person who raided General Zhu was not a thief in the mountains, but a soldier who had already been ambushed by King Luling. ”
"What?! How could they know about General Zhu's whereabouts? ”
Hua Yan held the cup and lowered his head and smiled: "It is the news that I asked the shepherd to secretly transmit to them. ”
Why is that? Isn't it asking for trouble? Fang Hai suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "It turns out that Yan'er deliberately let Mu Niang leave on the way, and sent a message to King Luling in order to test Zhu Chaoshi's loyalty?!" ”
"It turns out that Zhu Chaoshi is a loyal minister." Hua Yan said lightly.
Fang Hai sat back in his place and said with a smile: "Yan'er's move is really wonderful, without the slightest effort, he can hold 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and he can also win the name of a savior, so Zhu Chaoshi will be more loyal to support the third prince." ”
"Don't blame me for being strict, this defected soldier has to be tested. In this way, the three princes can also use him with peace of mind. He sipped his glass and said slowly.
Fang Hai suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Zhu Chaoshi was not scared lightly this time, and the third prince was appeased. “
Painted face chuckled and picked up the chess pieces again.
"Why did Yan'er steal fun? Isn't there anything else going on? Fang Haitan asked.
"I can't hide anything from you in front of you. I just used Zhu Chaoshi to test the depth of the water a little, and Liu Yizhen really jumped out by himself. It can be seen that he pays a lot of attention to the third brother, the third prince. It also shows that when it comes to the battle for the throne, Liu Yizhen will definitely ignore the brotherhood completely, and no matter what method is used, he will try his best to compete with the three princes.
Although you and I both know that Liu Yizhen is by no means a good type, I think it is necessary for the third prince to see this clearly. It's just that General Zhu suffered a lot. After thinking about it again and again, he finally dropped the chess piece in his hand.
"I see! Killing two birds with one stone, it's really wonderful! Fang Hai exclaimed.
Huayan looked up at the clouds, the sunset was completely hidden, so he brushed his sleeves and got up, "Okay, the chess is played, the play has been watched, and the wine has been drunk, it's time to go back." ”
Fang Hai looked down, only then did he realize that he had lost again.
He put down the chess pieces, got up and sighed: "I am not as good as others in my own skills, and I am convinced to lose." ”
"What are you doing so modestly in front of me, you are just single-minded and unaware for a while, so I have a chance. We don't want to keep you waiting any longer, because the mistake I made today will be even greater. After Hua Yan finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside the pavilion to return home.
Today's painting has made Fang Hai more and more incomprehensible.
Her turnaround smile seemed to have multiple meanings.
What it was, Fang Hai couldn't say, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a chill surging up from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He shook his head and thought about it again, got on his horse and followed.
The night is near, the moon is bright again, and the moonlight illuminates the way back to the family.
