Confused

Xue Xiu was so frightened that she exclaimed: "Madam."

The painting corner stared quietly at the sword that was stabbing rapidly, blinking his eyes, but his body did not move at all.

Pei Ruji's sword point was held an inch away from the painting horn's shoulder, and the cold sword energy blew the moon-white embroidered gauze covering the painting horn into the air.

She raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, her eyes slightly curved, half-smiling.

Xue Xiu was so frightened that she rushed forward and asked: "Madam, are you okay?"

"Xue Xiu, General Pei is dancing with his sword. He's not trying to kill me. What are you afraid of?" Huajiao turned his eyes, his clear eyes fell on the tip of the sword that was very close at hand. He stretched out his fingers and carefully pinched the tip of the sword.

Move away.

Xue Xiu said anxiously: "Madam, if General Pei is sober, he will naturally not kill you, but didn't he say that he has weird habits when he is drunk? He just drank a bowl of strong wine, and I am afraid he is drunk now. The sword has no eyes,

Let's leave and go back to discuss with Aunt Lin and break off the engagement. We can't marry such a person."

Huajiao smiled softly, shook his head, turned to Pei Ruji and said: "General Pei, I have heard that you are an excellent swordsman. It is rare that the general is interested today, please continue."

Pei Ruji was stunned for a moment. He never expected Huajiao to be so courageous. If so, don't blame him for being rude.

Pei Ruji chuckled and made a sword dance with the sword in his hand. In an instant, the sword light was bright. He seemed to be very drunk. He was swaying on his feet and moved around the small space in the room. The sword light was flying in his hand. The air in the room was strong.

The stirring of the sword energy was like a strong wind blowing into the water, causing waves in the still water.

He looked like he was about to fall down. The long sword in his hand was messy and unorganized, and he stabbed towards the table, sweeping the dishes on the table to the ground.

Huajiao calmly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish fillet before the plate fell to the floor, put it into his mouth, and said with satisfaction: "As expected of Fengyanglou, this fish fillet is very delicious."

Pei Ruji was so angry that the hand holding the sword trembled slightly. She really used her sword dancing as a way to entertain herself. He didn't believe that she, a weak woman, was really not afraid.

He waved his long sword, and an invisible coercion crossed the corner of the painting and struck the wall on one side, making several gentle strokes along the wall.

Huajiao was startled and screamed secretly. She dropped the chopsticks in her hand, grabbed her snow sleeves and ran away to the side.

There was only a slight crackling sound, and a few cracks opened in the wall in an instant. Then, with a sudden sound, the wall completely collapsed.

The two rooms were originally a large room, separated by thick wooden boards. Pei Ruji's sword energy split the wooden wall into several pieces and scattered them all over the floor.

This time, the two Accords were connected.

At a glance, Huajiao saw Yu Taiqing and Cui Lanshu in the Accord next door, and was suddenly shocked.

The postures of Yu Taiqing and Cui Lanshu at this time looked a bit ambiguous.

The two of them were very close, he leaned forward, she raised her head, and he held her chin.

As the wall collapsed, Yu Taiqing suddenly let go of his hand and looked over. Pei Ruji's two brothers who were hiding in another room heard the movement and rushed over. Seeing the situation in front of them, they were all shocked.

Startled.

"General Pei, what's going on?"

Pei Ruji had a sullen face and said nothing. He glanced at the corner of the painting secretly and saw that she was holding the maid's wrist and hiding in the corner of the Accord. She seemed to be frightened.

But for some reason, he knew in his heart that she was not really afraid.

He was so angry that he wanted to scare her, but he didn't want to hurt her. So before the wall collapsed, he had already reached out to pull her. Unexpectedly, she was faster than him, got up, grabbed the maid and hid quickly.

Got up.

His fiancée really impressed him today.

Pei Ruji turned around and looked at Yu Taiqing, realizing that he seemed to have ruined someone else's good deeds. With a look of guilt on his face, he stepped forward and apologized: "Yu Dujian, I just drank a few glasses of wine and am a little drunk.

, I hope you will supervise Haihan if you are discourteous."

Yu Taiqing's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at Pei Ruji lightly, with a smile on his lips: "General Pei does not need to apologize to me. You damaged the wall of Fengyang Tower for no reason, so you should apologize to the owner of Fengyang Tower."

His eyes fell on Huajiao intentionally or unintentionally, and he saw that her face was covered with a veil. She seemed to be frightened, her head lowered and she said nothing.

Cui Lanshu was originally ill and came out to meet Yu Taiqing despite her illness. At this time, she was frightened repeatedly and could no longer hold on. Her body was shaky.

Yu Taiqing stepped forward and hugged her, and saw that her face was flushed and she had fainted.

Cui Chong, Cui Yushi, followed Di Chen up from downstairs. When he saw the situation in front of him, he ran over quickly and called out: "Lan'er, what's wrong with you? Yu Dujian, what happened to the little girl?"

Yu Taiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, pointing to the collapsed wall and said: "Ms. Cui must have been frightened and felt unwell, so she fainted. Cui Yushi will take Mrs. Cui back to her house first. Everything will be taken care of."

Let’s talk about it after you get well.”

Cui Yushi nodded and was about to leave with Cui Lanshu in his arms.

Yu Taiqing suddenly asked: "Cui Yushi, does Mrs. Cui have a sister who looks very similar to her?"

Cui Yushi shook his head: "My daughter has only one brother and no sisters. Why did Yu Dujian say this?"

Yu Taiqing remained silent.

Who is the woman who looks exactly like Cui Lanshu in the peach forest?

At this time, one of Pei Ruji's brothers also walked in quickly: "General Pei, it's bad, something happened."

A guard hurried over and reported: "Prison Yu, it's not good. The chess official Yin Niang in the chess room downstairs is dead."

Di Chen and Cui Chong were both surprised: "What, when we saw her downstairs, she was still fine, why did she suddenly die?"

Restaurants in Lang'an City often hire storytellers, singers and even jugglers, just to attract customers. Fengyang Tower is unique. It has a chess room and hires several chess officials. Some nobles and talented people come here to have meals and often invite chess players.

A game of official chess.

Yin Niang is the most skilled chess official in Fengyang Tower. Some people once said that her chess skills are almost as good as those of Xiao Sujun back then.

Xiao Sujun is the direct daughter of Ningping Bo Xiao Yong. She once served as a female official in the Queen Mother's Palace and is the Queen Mother's goddaughter. Even now she is married, and she still has the imperial title of the fourth rank. Back then, when she was not married, she had

She disguised herself and went to Fengyang Tower to play chess, and defeated all the chess officials in Fengyang Tower and all the guests who came to challenge her. Even Li Cong, the current emperor's uncle who was the best at chess, lost to her.

It's a pity that Xiao Sujun has never been to Fengyang Tower since she got married.

It is said that Yin Niang's lifelong wish is to play a game of chess with Xiao Sujun.

At this time, Pei Ru looked at the corpse in front of her and thought: Her wish has finally come true.

Yin Niang died in another room connected to the chess room. This room was where Yin Niang rested after playing chess on weekdays. Yin Niang was probably killed while drinking tea. She fell to the ground and a tea cup was left behind.

It fell into pieces not far in front of me, and there was tea spilled on the ground.
