February 2.

West of the city.

Outside the side wall of the Shen Mansion, a maid wearing a white dress and a brocade jacket came out of the crack in the side door.

She glanced left and right, and quickly found someone to pick up.

The face is covered by a veil, revealing only a snow-white chin and scarlet lips.

Dressed in men's clothes, I can't suppress the bust that is about to come out.

"Is it Sister Ao?"

The maid glanced at her flat chest, leaned in and whispered.

"Lingxi, it's me."

The other party replied, lifted the veil curtain, and showed his true face.

The two entered the Shen Mansion through the small door.

"My young lady thought that my sister had already left Xijing, and she sighed."

Lingxi said.

As soon as she entered the house, her voice became louder.

"At first, it was gone."

Ao Zhixian took off his hat and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I came back alone from more than a thousand miles away, buying and changing horses along the way, and entered the city early this morning."

"So far, or horseback riding? How hard is that? ”

Lingxi asked.

"In my current situation, what else do you want to talk about whether it's hard or not?"

Ao Zhixian smiled bitterly.

The Shen Mansion covers a vast area, and Shen Tiexin, as the most favored one, has a three-entry courtyard with its own garden.

Among them, the room next to the pond and surrounded by layers of curtains is called "Like Spring".

Here, Ao Zhixian met Shen Tiexin.

The brass stove burns sun-dried petals, giving off heat and aroma.

On the side is a simmering fruit tea.

The beauty is lazy on the couch, and her white hair is scattered like a waterfall.

"Iron Heart, I can't compare to what I used to be."

As soon as Ao Zhixian spoke, his eyes turned red.

"If you take me in, if someone finds out, I'm afraid I will be implicated."

"Xiao Yu'er, you sent me a letter, and everyone came to see you before you came to talk about this?"

Shen Tiexin glanced at her.

Ao Zhixian was slightly cramped.

"Hmph, besides, Miss Ben works in Xijing, and she never knows what it means to be implicated."

Shen Tiexin said casually.

Ao Zhixian relaxed his heart and went to bathe and change clothes with Lingxi.

When she came back in her dress and hair, the stove was filled with flower petals.

The stove was replaced with scalded rice wine.

"So you gave up your father and brother to come here to find Su Peifeng? I thought you couldn't bear me! ”

Shen Tiexin raised his eyebrows and asked.

"What's so troublesome about that."

She looked amused.

"I'll send you to him now, and I'll arrange a carriage."

Ao Zhixian wanted to agree, but when he saw that his friend was about to call Lingxi, he hurriedly stopped it.

She felt a pang of trepidation in her heart for no apparent reason.

"No, I'm not going to see him."

Ao Zhixian said resolutely.

Shen Tiexin was puzzled.

"Then I'll call him to see you."

She suggested something else.

Ao Zhixian still shook his head.

"And what are you going to do?"

Shen Tiexin didn't understand.

"I ......"

Ao Zhixian sat up straight and clenched the hem of his skirt with both hands.

"I, I'm not just going to see him."

She struggled for a long time before she spoke.

"I have to make sure of his mind first."

"After all, it's different now......"

Ao Zhixian hesitated, but still didn't say anything about Su Peifeng's previous breach of the contract.

She was scared.

She had never been afraid.

He is not afraid when he sees blood, and he is not afraid when he kills.

Even the night she disobeyed her father and jumped ship, she was not afraid.

"Okay, okay, got it."

Shen Tiexin waved his hand in disgust.

"It's quite troublesome for your family to do this time, so it's good to be careful."

"Then be tactful.

At the next three-day banquet, you will write an invitation to Su Peifeng in my name, and he will always recognize the handwriting.

If there is sincerity, people will find it.

This can be advanced or retreated, is it always okay? ”

She easily came up with a plan, and then took the rice wine and drank it lightly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ao Zhixian could only answer like this.

She could tell that the other party was getting impatient.

"Little fish, don't worry so much."

Shen Tiexin drank the wine and comforted his good sister.

"It's just an anonymous person who died horizontally."

"As long as you don't reveal your identity and don't leave this mansion, with me, who can do anything to you?"

She paused as she spoke.

A light flush rose from his snow-white cheeks.

······

In the blink of an eye, February 18.

It was nearly nine o'clock in the evening.

Xijing Go Academy.

White first black later, four-pointed constellation.

Lu Yunshi knelt in front of the chessboard, pinching a sunspot and wandering.

The chess room is spacious and located on the second floor by the Yao River.

There were more than 30 people playing chess and watching the chess between the games, and there were only occasional whispers.

Go is a matter of grace.

To raise this hobby, you must not only have money but also leisure, so you have a good background.

Lu Yunshi had no interest in playing chess.

But after last year's flower tasting meeting, he finally hated his recklessness, so he learned chess skills to hone his mind.

After the long test, the sunspot fell, and the sound of jade came out.

There was a sound of footsteps coming up the wooden stairs at the same time, walking faster and making it noisy.

Many people looked sideways.

Lu Yunshi also glanced at it.

He was about twenty-four or five years old, wearing a jade belt and a purple robe.

Seeing that the crowd was angry, this man hurriedly made a gesture and sat down beside his acquaintance.

"Why did you come so late and still smell of alcohol?"

The other asked in a low voice.

"Forgive me."

The man in purple replied, but his face was unapologetic.

"I just came from the Shen Family's Wuxuan Garden."

He raised his voice a little more and said a reason that didn't seem to be a reason.

"Wu Xuan Yuan, which one's three-day banquet did you go to?"

Immediately there was an exclamation.

When the man in purple saw the expected reaction, he was triumphant, and his words did not stop for a moment.

From the layout of the garden, the use of banquets, the extravagance of wine and food, to the incomparable face of the host......

Lu Yunshi pursed his lips and focused on the chessboard.

Until the man spoke of what he had seen and heard about the guests.

"There is also a cousin of Miss Shen at this three-day banquet."

"He said he was from Hongyi City, and his name was Shen Zhiyin."

"I recognized it at a glance, isn't that Ao Zhixian?"

When Lu Yunshi heard this, he almost crushed the chess pieces.

"Are you sure it's Ao Zhixian?"

The chess moves that he had calculated for more than a dozen moves in his mind immediately dispersed, and he turned his head and asked.

"Absolutely, and I'm not the only one who recognizes it."

The purple-robed boy replied.

"With the style of the daughter of the Ao family, could it be that there can be a second one in Xijing? It's nothing more than a red dress replaced by a white dress, and there is a red-faced god around him. ”

"She's on the list of evils now."

Lu Yunshi's tone cooled.

"What about the evil list?"

The purple-robed boy couldn't stand the questioning, and shouted loudly, the smell of wine gushing out of his mouth.

"If people change their identities and don't take the initiative to argue with the Zhangwu Academy, who would dare to go to the Shen family to search for it?"

As soon as he had said this, someone leaned over and whispered to him.

It's about the identity of the person who just interrogated him.

When the purple-robed boy heard this, his wine dissipated in an instant, and he smiled and stopped talking.

But Lu Yunshi's face had completely turned cold.

PS: By the time I finished writing the last few chapters, I felt that my abilities had increased again.

Thinking about the comparison between Hideaki Anno's TV version of EVA and the new theatrical version, depression may be a buff for creation.

You yourself are not suffering, how do you feel the pain of others, and how do you write about pain?

Just casually, don't let me relapse.
