In the Qingping Sect, Qi Shouzheng and Zhao Zhijing sat on both sides of the chess table.

At this time, there was no one in the room except for the two of them.

"City Lord Zhao, please." Qi Shou grabbed a handful of white chess pieces and held them in the palm of his hand, with the back of his hand facing up, and the city lord of Zhao guessed first.

This is a commonly used guess in Go, the higher one holds a number of white pieces and does not show it for the time being, and the lower one shows a black piece, indicating that "Yang is black, and vice versa", and showing two black pieces means "Yin is black on his side, and vice versa is white".

Odd numbers are yin and even numbers are yang.

Zhao Zhijing pondered for a moment and slowly took out two sunspots from the chess basket.

Qi Shou and Yan smiled lightly, stretched out their right hand, palm facing up.

I saw that in the palm of my right hand, there were three white seeds lying quietly.

And in addition to these three white seeds, there is also a lotus seed with a red body.

Karmic fire lotus seeds!

As soon as this thing came out, Zhao Zhijing couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and looked up at the monk with a calm face in front of him.

"It's yin."

"City Lord Zhao, please."

Qi Shou said, stretching out his hand in front of Zhao Zhijing.

Zhao Zhijing took away the karmic fire lotus seed, looked at Qi Shou again, and after a while, he slowly dropped the first chess piece.

Qi Shou played chess as if nothing had happened, and his face was calm.

This son's mind is far beyond ordinary people!

Zhao Zhijing and Qi Shou were playing chess while observing Qi Shou's expression, and as a result, Qi Shou's face was like normal throughout the whole process, like a dry well.

Zhao Zhijing was absent-minded and soon defeated.

"Agreed, City Lord Zhao." Qi Shou got up and saluted Zhao Zhijing.

"Qi Xiaoyou played a good game of chess." Zhao Zhijing said with a smile.

Qi Shou smiled and did not speak.

Zhao Zhijing didn't say much, got up and turned his head to leave the room, stood outside the door and said: "It just so happens that the little girl needs a chess master to guide her recently, if Qi Xiaoyou has time, just go back to the house with me for a while." ”

"It's an honor." Qi Shou said with a smile.

City Lord Zhao took people to other places in the sect, and He Changfeng called Qi Shou aside alone.

"Qi Xiaogui, are you going back with City Lord Zhao?" He Changfeng stopped Qi Shou.

"That's right, Master." Qi Shou replied.

He Changfeng was also outside the door just now, so he naturally heard Zhao Zhijing's words.

"Little ghost, it's good to be able to climb the city lord incident, but I still have to remind you as a teacher."

"As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger."

"This time Zhao Zhijing came to Qingping Sect, the intention was unknown, and now he wants to take you away, I don't know the rights and wrongs behind this, but with my understanding of finding Zhijing, it will definitely not be too simple."

"When you go to the Zhao family, you must be careful in everything, if you can seize this and make friends with the Zhao family, it is the best.

"If you really encounter a problem, write to me, even if Qingping Sect doesn't make a move, the teacher will take action for you."

He Changfeng's words were serious, which made Qi Shou feel a little moved.

One day as a teacher, a lifelong father, although He Changfeng has not taught Qi Shou much, but Qi Shou is also taken care of, the elixir talisman is never stingy, that day the triple refinement of the body broke through the quadruple, and it was also He Changfeng who secretly protected the Dharma outside the house.

After entering the Qing Ping Sect, He Changfeng saved him a lot of trouble.

Qi Shou also knew in his heart that He Changfeng was somewhat worried that he would be abducted by Zhao Zhijing, after all, he was also a good seedling who was a formation mage.

Despite this, Qi Shou was still very moved by He Changfeng's words: "The disciple is just going to be a chess master for the daughter of the Zhao City Lord, and he will come back in a few days, please rest assured Master." ”

After greeting He Changfeng, Qi Shou went down the mountain with the City Lord Zhao.

was invited by the city lord of Zhao to the mansion to be the chess master of the eldest lady of the Zhao family, and this matter was not a small sensation in the Qingping Sect.

Many people said that this little-known outer disciple was lucky, and if he could get the appreciation of the city lord of Zhao, he would definitely be able to leap into a dragon.

Of course, only Qi Shou himself knew in his heart what Zhao Zhijing wanted.

If Qi Shou didn't guess wrong, Tian Zhongguang and Zhao Zhijing should have known that the village contained the secret treasure of the Demon Gate, and the crusade task was just a cover.

He Qi Shou took out the karmic fire lotus seed, so Zhao Zhijing would definitely suspect that the red lotus was also on him.

And Zhao Zhijing invited him to Zhao's house, not to thank Qi Shou for sending the karmic fire lotus seed, but to cross the sin red lotus.

He was a fourfold minor cultivator, how could Zhao Zhijing let him go.

At least in Zhao Zhijing's eyes, every step of Qi Shou was within his control.

Next, as long as Qi Shou goes to Zhao's house, there are only two results waiting for Qi Shou:

Either hand over the red lotus yourself; Either wait for Zhao Zhijing to find the secret method of the Demon Gate and use the secret method to take out the red lotus of the crime.

No matter what, once Qi Shou enters the Zhao family and is sure that he has a guilty red lotus on him, then Qi Shou will be slaughtered.

It's a pity that Zhao Zhijing is one step short of everything.

If it weren't for this step, Qi Shou would not have bothered to play this game of chess.

……

With Zhao Zhijing all the way down the mountain to Zhao's house, it was already late at night.

The Zhao family is located in the center of Zhouhai City, with a special status, it is said that Zhao Zhijing's father is the lord of Zhouhai City, and the entire Zhao Mansion is built very atmospheric, exuding a majestic atmosphere.

Although it was night, the families near Zhao's house were still patrolling.

After coming to Zhao's house, Zhao Zhijing first asked the housekeeper to take Qi Shou to the guest room, and then sent someone to deliver food, bathe and change clothes.

The maidservant girl who came to deliver food and clothes was a twenty-eight year old, skinny girl, with a crisp voice, and Qi Shou was relaxed and happy to hear.

"Young Master Qi, City Lord Zhao asked me to help you bathe and change your clothes." The maidservant said softly.

"You don't have to, you just put your clothes aside." Qi Shou politely refused.

"Okay." The maidservant put the clothes on the table neatly: "City Lord Zhao has ordered, I will be in charge of the living of Prince Qi in the past few days." ”

"If there is anything else that Qi Gongzi asks, I will be in the next room."

"Alright, I got it." Qi Shou nodded and asked, "What do you call the girl?" ”

"Just call me Luo Yi when Gongzi Qi." The handmaid bowed her head and said.

"Luo Yi." Qi Shou nodded.

"Luo Yi is here." Luo Yi replied.

"City Lord Zhao said, what do I want, even if I tell you?" Qi Shou said, getting up from the bed.

"That's right, Qi Gongzi's request, Luo Yi will definitely try his best to complete it." Luo Yi nodded.

"Okay." Qi Shou smiled, suddenly raised his hand, and a gust of wind blew, directly blowing out all the candlelight in the room.

For a moment, the room went dark.

"Qi Gongzi, this ......" suddenly fell into darkness, and Luo Yi was stunned in place, looking a little overwhelmed.

"Since City Lord Zhao has said so, then ......" Qi Shou's voice gradually became low, and he was still approaching Luo Yi step by step.

Luo Yi in the dark couldn't help but get nervous.

"I'm going to bed now, can you leave first?" Qi Shou suddenly changed his words, which made Luo Yi stunned again.

"You should rest early, too." Qi Shou turned around, waved his hand, and lay on the bed.

“…… Luo Yi stepped back. Luo Yi whispered, and then left Qi Shou's room.

After Luo Yi retreated, Qi Shou slowly opened his eyes in the dark.

"Spirit, good fellow."
