Just as the saying goes, those who stab a brother in both sides will often be stabbed twice by his brother and his sweetheart. Lu Xian felt that his life was over.
He felt depressed and didn't dare to throw the pot back.
Just kidding, the elbow surnamed Xie has turned out of the sky, can you believe him? He dared to say Jiang Xuening, God knows what will happen later.
Lu Xian racked his brains, trying to find a suitable excuse for himself.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wei didn't seem to have any abnormalities, instead he smiled lightly like floating dust, and continued: "Since you are not free, why don't you hurry back and get busy?"
Lu Xian was stunned: "Huh?"
Xie Wei didn't even look at him anymore, he turned directly to Jiang Xuening and said, "I'm going back to Jinling this trip to worship my ancestors. I'm on the same road with you, and I only said that we met by chance. My lord has old friends, so I will give you a ride along the way. So this road does not go straight to the border, go back to Beijing first, and see when you will change to the west."
Jiang Xuening was also taken aback for a moment before she understood what he meant.
Originally, she was puzzled that Xie Wei, a close minister of the emperor, would be stared at by countless pairs of eyes once he left the capital. If there was no suitable reason, it would be bad. But I forgot, this person is obviously a descendant of the Xie family in Jinling, and returning to Jinling to worship his ancestors is a perfect excuse.
And walking with her is easy to explain.
After all, it has been two years since she left the capital, so it makes sense for Jiang Boyou to take her back.
This guy is always thoughtful...
Use yourself as a shield.
Jiang Xuening muttered in her heart, but quickly agreed on her face: "Okay."
Xie Wei said quickly, "Let's set off now."
Jiang Xuening didn't get out of the car at first, but now she promised again and wanted to get back into the car.
But when he turned around, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Xian.
Really, looking at this man's posture as if he was facing a big enemy, she thought that they had unintentionally violated Xie Wei's taboo, and something big was going to happen, which made her nervous.
In the end nothing happened.
Is there anything wrong with this person?
Although this glance was simple and brief, what kind of shrewd person is Lu Xian? After being taken aback for a moment, he immediately came back to the memory and tasted the suspicion and disdain in it. For a moment, he felt so bitter that he couldn't express it, and stared blankly with anger.
I don't know if he thought this scene was funny, Xie Wei smiled.
Lu Xian felt even more bored and panicked.
There are swords, zithers, swords and books, one drives the chariot and the other rides the horse.
Accompanying them were the dozens of well-dressed guards I saw at the Guanlan Tower earlier, all of them were masters, and they all followed beside the two carriages.
It was just dawn at this moment, and there was a thin layer of mist at the gate of the city.
Xie Wei also got into the car and went.
A group of people left the city swaggeringly like this.
As Xie Wei said, if they go straight to the border and fall into the eyes of interested people, they will inevitably show their clues, and they may miss a big deal. Therefore, this trip did not go to Chuzhou in the northwest, but took the official road to Yangzhou.
Jiang Xuening didn't sleep well last night, so she happened to make up for it in the carriage.
She has traveled a lot in the past two years, so the cabin is very comfortable, and there are no bumps to get used to.
It's just that after waking up, I feel bored.
At first, I lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, but the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is nothing more than this. There are no trees growing in the sky, and there are no clouds floating on the ground.
In addition to hurrying along the way, it is a rest.
People are in the car most of the time.
She just had to read.
After all, I also expected the long journey in advance, so I brought a few idle books to read on the way.
But reading one book in the car is particularly taxing for the eyes, and the other book is not forbidden to read, and she has almost finished reading it in only six or seven days.
"Oh, boring..."
Lying in his own compartment, Jiang Xuening threw the last book into the corner, stared at the wooden texture on the roof of the compartment, and sighed long.
When I opened the curtain of the car, I saw that the outside was full of dead grass.
During this period of time, they went all the way north, and had traveled thousands of miles. The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River gradually changed, and the weather became colder and colder. A thin layer of frost condensed on the red leaves of the distant mountains.
Xie Wei's carriage was not far ahead.
Apart from stopping at post stations or inns along the way, they almost stayed in their own cars, and it was difficult to bump into them.
When she was really free, Jiang Xuening would occasionally think of this person and think about issues related to this person.
For example, does she really know what kind of person Xie Juan is?
There is no doubt that this person is like the fog on the mountain.
Unfathomable, unfathomable.
He behaves well, rarely contemptuous, and has an innate dignity in his body. Even if she knew how many murders he had committed in his previous life, and how merciless he was, it was hard to deny that he was indeed worthy of being called the "legacy of a sage" by the world.
Sometimes, she even wondered, was she more angry or disappointed when facing Xie Wei in the other hall?
Overpowering others, scheming and ruthless, she took her to the border to rescue the princess in order to protect the overall situation. Of course, she felt a kind of anger at being played and applauded. But thinking about it deeper, it might not be because she has hope for Xie Weicun.
As if he didn't think he should.
Although he is by no means simple, Jiang Xuening subconsciously seems to think that Xie Juan's dangers are dangers, and calculations are calculations, but he has his own bottom line and principles, and he will never be in the same class as those real sinister villains.
Staring at the carriage in front of her, Jiang Xuening lost her mind for a while, and it was only when a gust of cold wind hit her face that she regained her senses.
What is she thinking so much about?
After all, after saving the princess, the bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road. It is good to hide far away, and Xie Wei has nothing to do with her. It is more appropriate to think about how to spend this long and boring journey.
After thinking about it like this, Jiang Xuening's eyes naturally fell on Dao Qin.
The boy in blue, carrying a bow and arrow, followed her carriage on horseback.
She leaned on the window frame and shouted: "Daoqin."
Daoqin turned her head and saw her hooking her hand towards her. Subconsciously, she glanced at Xie Wei's carriage in front of her, hesitated for a while, then turned the horse's head, walked side by side with her carriage, got closer, and asked: "Miss Ning Er, do you have any orders?"
Jiang Xuening blinked: "Can you play chess?"
Daoqin froze and said, "Yes, a little."
Jiang Xuening's eyes lit up immediately: "That's really great, you get in the car!"
Dao Qin's eyelids twitched: "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Xuening didn't know what kind of reaction he was, why did he act like Lu Xian's coward as if he was facing a big enemy? She was puzzled, but she lifted up a chessboard in her carriage and said, "The road is too boring, come and play two games with me."
Daoqin: "..."
He glanced at Jiang Xuening faintly, and felt that he had been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and he really didn't have the guts to say another word, so he didn't answer at all, and just clamped the horse's belly, urging the horse to go forward.
Jiang Xuening originally thought that the people around Xie Wei would give him some face, and obeyed what he said, but when he saw Dao Qin's movements, he thought he was going to agree, how could he have thought that he would just leave?
Taking a closer look, this guy actually went to the front to thank the carriage!
The man moved closer to the window, and seemed to say a few words against the inside of the car.
I came back in a while.
Jiang Xuening didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so she said speechlessly, "Did you ask your husband for instructions just to play a game of chess?"
Daoqin looked at her: "Sir, please go over."
"..."
For a moment, all her expressions froze on her face, and then slowly cracked.
Facing Jiang Xuening's staring and even accusing eyes, Dao Qin felt inexplicably guilty, slowly lowered her head, and repeated in a low voice: "Sir, please go over, right now."
Jiang Xuening felt the long-lost feeling of wanting to die.
Dao Qin didn't dare to reply.
Jiang Xuening went to Xie Wei's car.
As soon as he opened the curtain of the car, he saw a chessboard in the car, black and white pieces were scattered on the chessboard, Xie Wei was still holding a volume of chess records in his hand, he was actually studying the chess game.
As soon as she got into the car, her arrogance disappeared, and she whispered: "Sir, do you need me?"
Xie Wei rolled his eyelids and looked at her: "Didn't you want to play chess?"
Jiang Xuening suddenly seemed to have eaten Coptis chinensis.
Xie Wei Xianxian pointed to the seat in front of him: "Dao Qin said you are bored, sit down."
I'm bored, I don't want to court death!
What did Dao Qin say?
Jiang Xuening roared in her heart, but facing Xie Wei, she sat down like an eggplant beaten by Shuang.
Xie Wei asked, "Do you want to be white or black?"
Jiang Xuening looked at the chessboard and felt dizzy.
Xie Wei said: "Baizi has a great chance of winning, you should hold the white."
Jiang Xuening felt very tormented: "Yes, don't you want to play Go?"
Xie Wei was going to get the baizi box and handed her a hand, looked at her, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then what do you want to play, chess, Shuanglu?"
Jiang Xuening weakly raised her hand: "Is backgammon okay..."
Xie Wei: "..."
Why did she suddenly have the urge to throw the box of white paper in her face?
Jiang Xuening felt that she was not far from death.
Thank you!
This is Xie Wei!
Strategize and decide to win Xie Ju'an who is thousands of miles away!
How dare she suggest to Xie Wei to play this kind of backgammon that children only play!
Can…
Go is so brain-intensive.
She really doesn't want to.
After saying the words "backgammon", Jiang Xuening buried her head down, trying to avoid Xie Wei's almost substantive gaze.
Xie Wei didn't speak for a long while.
After a while, she began to tidy up the chess pieces that were originally placed on the chessboard, divided the white pieces into the black pieces, put a box of white pieces on her hand again, and said, "Let's play."
Jiang Xuening raised her head: "What's next?"
The corners of Xie Wei's eyes twitched, and he said lightly, "If you don't get off, I'll throw you out of the car."
Jiang Xuening shuddered, touched a white piece without saying a word, and pressed it in the middle of the chessboard.
This is Tianyuan.
In Go, anyone who dares to play in this position is either a fool or a genius.
But it's clear she's neither.
She looked at Xie Wei cautiously.
Xie Wei stared at the chess piece for a while, then took out a black piece and put it next to her chess piece.
Jiang Xuening took a look: It's done, how to play backgammon!
She felt a little happy in her heart, and immediately followed suit skillfully.
Xie Wei is very good at Go, Jiang Xuening knows it.
However, she thought that backgammon was simpler than Go, and although Xie Wei's chess strength was higher than that of Go, it might not be useful for such a simple game. It was equivalent to pulling Xie Wei to her own level, and she could completely defeat the opponent with experience.
Just playing, there are more and more chess pieces, and there are more and more places that need to be considered. She only pays attention to the upper right corner, but she does not expect that the left and left chess pieces have already formed a formation. Xie Wei has another black piece on the board, and then There were five in a row.
She lost.
Jiang Xuening took a deep breath, thinking that she was not far behind, and was not reconciled, so she said, "Come again."
Xie Wei glanced at her, didn't say anything, and shared the chess pieces with her.
The two played another game.
This time Jiang Xuening was still close, Xie Wei took a step ahead of her, she was very embarrassed, and she was very unconvinced.
Until the third game, she worked hard, tried her best to cover up, racked her brains to move forward, and finally let go of the move she made to induce Xie Wei to make a mistake, and then looked at Xie Wei calmly, to see if he would find out .
Xie Wei didn't seem to notice, and really placed the chess piece in the position she wanted.
When his finger left the chess piece, Jiang Xuening finally couldn't hold back a laugh, and immediately put the next move he had prepared on it, saying: "Haha, sir, you have caught the trick, I won this game!"
Xie Wei still didn't say anything, his face was calm.
But in Jiang Xuening's eyes, this is trying to save face.
She doesn't care.
He happily packed the chess pieces, but he forgot his reluctance when Xie Wei just picked him up, and he was so absorbed in calculating the outcome in front of him.
In general, Xie Wei won more.
But after three or four games, he would occasionally lose.
When Jiang Xuening lost, she frowned, and when she won, it was not easy.
It is also because of this that it is extremely difficult to extricate oneself.
It's addictive.
Especially when I can win a game from Xie Wei occasionally, I can't hide my joy, and the boredom and depression are swept away, so I can't even mention how happy I am.
In the thirteenth set, he finally won again.
When she let go of the decisive victory to decide the world, Jiang Xuening's eyes and brows were filled with joy.
She was very happy: "Mr. Go is amazing in chess. It would be useless to change it to a child's play like backgammon, right? You call it, a wise man thinks a lot, and he will make a mistake; and I call it, a fool thinks a lot. There must be something."
Xie Wei looked at her, and then looked down at the chessboard.
The wind blows the curtain of the car, and the late afternoon sun lazily shines on a corner of the black and white chess pieces, each chess piece is flowing with a lustrous luster.
So following the light, he looked out.
Mountains and rivers, fertile wild thousands of miles.
The wild geese flying south passed by in the distance.
Hearing her words "A fool who thinks a lot, he will gain something", the corners of his lips finally curved slightly, and the bright light fell into his eyes, and in the depths of the pupils, there was only an unprecedented gentleness and peace brewing. Even the clear eyebrows and eyes drawn in ink are like the undulating outline of distant mountains, slowly stretching.
Jiang Xuening was about to pack up the chess pieces, when she looked up, she felt a ball of ice and snow melt in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help being dazzled by it.
This kind of Xie Wei is really too good-looking.
At this moment, she was in a strange situation, and she didn't know where her mind was lost, so she murmured sincerely: "If Mr. will always be Mr., it will be fine..."
"..."
Xie Wei heard it and turned to look at her.
The curvature of the lips slowly faded away.
Jiang Xuening was really stunned just now, and didn't know what was going on in his heart, until his gaze fell on his face, and he suddenly realized that his figure immediately became stiff.
Xie Wei has no expression on his face.
The intoxicating gentleness before seemed to be a human illusion, he lowered his eyes indifferently, and said: "Get out."
