"Presumptuous, doing something wrong, and still quibbling here, will the guest still be angry for no reason?" Before the guy finished speaking, Xiaoqing interrupted.

After seeing this situation, Jin Wan hurriedly interjected and said, "Don't blame this guy, it's true that I'm too impulsive, I guess you're in charge here, right?"

Hearing Jinwan's words to relieve the siege, the guy hurriedly turned around and thanked Jinwan, and then told him everything just now.

After listening to this, Xiaoqing became interested in Jinwan, because it is really rare for strangers to come directly to the door to find the owner of Qixiangyuan, and they are usually those distinguished guests.

Immediately, Xiaoqing asked the guy to step back, and greeted Jinwan, "My master is indeed not here, and I just came back, so I snubbed my son, and I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Jinwan came here to have something to do, so naturally she didn't take it to heart, so she opened her mouth and said, "It's easy to say, it's all small things, I won't take it to heart, I came to find your master for ......"

But before Jinwan finished speaking, Xiaoqing hurriedly interjected and said, "Presumably, this son must have come for the competition, so we can go upstairs to the private room to talk about it." ”

Seeing Xiaoqing interrupting herself, Jinwan immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, what this girl said is, then let's go upstairs to talk." ”

After speaking, Jinwan motioned for Xiaoqing to lead the way in front of the head, and she followed behind.

Since the voices of the two men were not disguised, their conversation was overheard by the vast people who were waiting upstairs to watch the situation.

It turned out that after Haohan and Xuanzhi came upstairs, Haohan was curious, and he had to stay to see what was going on, so he let Xuanzhi go back first, and he himself stayed.

No, after hearing that this son was also here for the game, Haohan went back to discuss with Xuanzhi.

Because during the meal, Xiaoqing had already said that there were not too many people who came to participate in such a competition, but there were many people who watched the excitement, because the people who came to participate in the game were all those sons and brothers who were either rich or noble, just to see the true face of the owner of Qixiangyuan.

Xiaoqing also revealed that the special reward is likely to be a qualification for entry. As for the specific qualifications, even Xiaoqing is not very clear.

Rushing to know oneself and knowing one's opponent, in order to be able to survive a hundred battles, Haohan went back to discuss countermeasures with Xuanzhi.

After Jinwan followed Xiaoqing to the second floor, Xiaoqing took her to the bamboo pavilion and sat down, and after entering, Xiaoqing ordered the two maidservants to wait outside, so as not to let outsiders come to disturb them. , by the way, I brought them a pot of light chrysanthemum tea.

When the two of them went out, Jin Wan said, "I'll introduce myself first, my name is Shangguan Jin, I'm not here to participate in any competition, the reason why I came here is because I know that you are not just a simple place for people to play chess and entertainment." ”

After he finished speaking, Xiaoqing followed and spoke, "It turned out to be Shangguan Gongzi, you can call me Xiaoqing." Since Childe can know what he is doing here, then I won't go around the bush with Childe, ask Childe to tell you what you are asking for, and then after inquiry, I will be able to know how much reward to ask. ”

Jinwan saw that the other party was so direct, so she didn't hide it, and told her about coming to ask them to help save Danqing.

After hearing this, this Xiaoqing did not give an immediate reply, but frowned and thought about it.

Because she heard that this matter actually involved the princess of the Hu people, Xiaoqing didn't dare to make a rash decision to take over the business.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond after hearing this, Jinwan was worried that they wouldn't make a move, so she urged, "How about it? Are you willing to take this business here?" But you don't have to worry about money. ”

Hearing Jinwan's words again, Xiaoqing had no choice but to speak, "Shangguan Gongzi, this is the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit on the throne in this matter, and I have to wait for my master to come back and let her decide for herself." Let's see, if I can wait for that day, because my master will be back tomorrow. ”

When Jinwan heard this, she was a little disappointed, but she had no other way but to agree, "That's the case, then I'll wait here for a day, when will your master come back tomorrow?"

"My master usually comes back around midnight before a game, and if there are no accidents, you will be able to meet my master tomorrow. Xiaoqing replied frankly.

"Well, I know, you can get busy, I'll wait here for him to come back. Jinwan knew that Xiaoqing still had something to do, so she asked her to leave, because she was afraid that after a long period of contact, her situation of dressing as a man would be discovered.

Hearing this, Xiaoqing was surprised and said, "Shangguan Gongzi is not going to spend the night here, right?"

"Well, you're right, I'll wait here until your master comes back, and I'm in a hurry when human lives matter. By the way, do you have food here? I still want to eat rice. Jinwan said firmly when she heard this.

Xiaoqing was amused by Jinwan's last words, but she couldn't help but smile and replied, "Shangguan Gongzi, we not only have food here, but also a place to sleep, I think Gongzi should go to the guest room and wait, and we will send the food directly to the guest room for you later." ”

"What? You still have a guest room here? Isn't this a chess garden?" because after coming in and when she came up, Jin Wan had observed that the downstairs here was a hall, and the upstairs was full of such private rooms, and there were no guest rooms for people to live in, so she was surprised.

"That's because Childe is not familiar with us here, our guest room is not on this building, but in the back, so I'll take Childe over. After speaking, Xiaoqing got up and invited Jinwan to accompany her.

This time, Xiaoqing led Jinwan across a long bridge in the air before coming to the guest room she was talking about.

It turned out that the house at the back of this chess garden was for people who had business dealings with them, and the one in the middle was for customers who came to play chess and entertainment.

These two houses and the chess garden are distributed in a triangular pattern, with the chess garden at the front, the general customers in the middle, and the special customers at the end.

When Xiaoqing took Jinwan to cross the bridge in the sky, they were seen by Haohan and Xuanzhi who came out, and the two of them came out to find Xiaoqing, but they didn't expect to see her leading the son across another bridge to another house.

After seeing this situation, Hao Han opened his mouth and asked, "Why did you say that Xiaoqing led that person there? Could it be that she has been lying to us all along and led that person to meet the owner of this chess garden?"

"What do you say, although people are also here to participate in the competition, you don't need to suspect Xiaoqing, anyway, she still sued us so much news. I think you are obviously 'living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain', not to mention that she is just a woman. When Xuan Zhi heard this, he made a mockery of the vastness.

"How can you turn your elbow out, thinking about outsiders, you shouldn't be taking a fancy to this Xiaoqing, right?" After speaking, Haohan pointed at Xuanzhi and laughed, "Haha...... Look at it, I said it, and even my face turned red. ”

Just when the two were laughing and playing, Na Xiaoqing had already arranged things over there, and walked towards this side, until they came to the two of them, and the two of them were still playing there.

Seeing that the two of them didn't even notice their arrival, Xiaoqing coughed lightly, "Ahem, cough." Then he said, "That, the two sons are so Yaxing, but you can't ignore me like this, everyone has been standing here for a long time." ”

Hearing the voice, the two immediately stopped what they were doing, turned to stand upright, and said at the same time, "Where, we really didn't find out." After saying that, they looked at each other.

"You two really have a tacit understanding, let's go, please drink tea and make amends for your mishospitality. After a meal of contact, they were already familiar with each other, and Xiaoqing's tone of voice became that of friends.

"Okay, we just happened to have something to do with you. Haohan was afraid of Xuanzhi's refusal, so he opened his mouth first, and after speaking, he pulled Xuanzhi and walked towards the Lan Pavilion private room.

Seeing this situation, Xiaoqing just smiled bitterly and shook her head, and then followed them.

On the way, Haohan couldn't help but let go of Xuanzhi, came to Xiaoqing's side and asked, "Miss Xiaoqing, did the son you brought over just now also come to participate in the competition, why did you lead him to another house?"

Hearing such a question, Xiaoqing was not surprised, because this had long been expected by her. However, she pretended to be mysterious and did not answer, but just left the vastness and quickly caught up with Xuanzhi.

Leaving Haohan in the back and shouting, "Hey, I said, why are you like this? ”

The two people who walked in front of each other, after hearing the words, peeked at each other, and found that each other was shy, so they distanced themselves from each other.

Seeing this situation in the back, Haohan smiled and said, "Don't pretend, don't you two have three hundred taels of silver here......?"

It wasn't until they entered the room and sat down that Xuanzhi and Xiaoqing hadn't recovered yet, but Haohan didn't care what they were doing, and hurriedly asked, "Come, tell me quickly, what's going on with the boy who was looking for you just now?"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Xiaoqing replied, "That's the case, what should I say, in short, that person is not here to participate in the competition, not your competitor, you can rest assured." ”

"Didn't you say he was here to participate in the competition when you were downstairs?"

Seeing that the vast expanse was unrelenting, Xiaoqing had to open his mouth and introduce the other identity of Qi Xiangyuan to the two of them.

......

After Shi Jin took Danqing, she went out of the city from the north gate of Jiankang, because she came to negotiate as an envoy this time, so she was not stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

After going out of the city, Shi Jin ordered everyone to speed up, take the official road and go straight to Huaiyin, and then rest there.
