The muscles on Mr. Liu's face were loose and he looked unusually stiff. He forced a smile and said, "He is your brother. You... you can't watch him die."
"Everyone in the Black Scale Battalion is my brother." Qi Ning said calmly: "If you want your Fu'er to really experience it, he must rush to the front in every fight. If you don't worry, you can send him over at any time. , otherwise don’t mention this matter again in the future." After a pause, he said: "There is one more thing I want to make clear. If he really enters the Blackscale Camp, I can treat him as a brother, otherwise the Jinyi Hou Mansion will not be with you. The Qi family has nothing to do with it, so don’t talk about family members and brothers in the future."
Qi Song looked embarrassed and could only say: "Then... let me think about it again." After looking at the pile of gifts on the table, he finally left dejectedly.
As soon as he left, Gu Qinghan had already come in from the side door. When he saw Qi Song leaving in front of the door, he said angrily: "Now I recognize my kiss."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about if you follow the trend."
Gu Qinghan twisted his waist to the side and said softly: "When the general was still alive, they always wanted to enter the military camp to get promoted and make a fortune, but they were all rejected by the general. These people are ignorant, eat, drink and whoring... He is so proficient in prostitution and gambling that he can’t even last a day in the military camp.”
"Don't worry, Sanniang. If they really want to enter the military camp, I guarantee that Guaiguai will be able to leave in one day." Qining laughed and asked, "Where did Duan Canghai and the others go?"
"Oh, they said they were going to recruit people." Gu Qinghan put his plump buttocks on the edge of the chair and sat down, "There are still dozens of old troops in the Black Scale Camp. Duan Canghai means to bring all those old brothers back. As long as If we can find all these people, the soul of the Blackscale Camp will be there.”
Qi Ning said: "I heard that those people have been relocated to various places, and many have been promoted. Are you willing to return to the Blackscale Camp?"
"I don't know either." Gu Qinghan said softly: "Duan Canghai is full of confidence. He said that although those people went their separate ways, no matter where they went, they were still thinking about the Black Scale Camp. As long as the Black Scale Camp was rebuilt, they would Even if you leave behind a high-ranking official and a generous salary, you will definitely come back." He sighed softly and said, "I think it's not that easy. The Blackscale Camp has... not existed for many years, and not everyone will remember it."
"That's true." Qi Ning nodded slightly, then smiled softly, and said: "But many things vary from person to person. Some people can't remember it, but some people will keep it in mind. Just like me, some things once It's burned into my mind, I think about it all the time, and I can't forget anything." As he spoke, he looked at Gu Qinghan's fair and tender face that could squeeze out water.
Gu Qinghan felt that there seemed to be something behind Qi Ning's words. She glanced at Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning looking at her with a half-smile. Her heart skipped a beat and her face felt slightly hot. However, she still tried her best to show that she didn't understand anything and said calmly: " The General put a lot of effort into setting up the Black Scale Camp back then, and you...if you put all your thoughts into it and don't think too much, you will always be able to accomplish something."
Qi Ning was so smart. Of course he could hear the meaning in Gu Qinghan's words. He smiled and asked: "Sanniang, is there nothing to do today? It seems that you are very free?"
"Hey, you have to be busy all the time to make you happy?" Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes at Qining with a charming look.
"No, no." Qi Ning smiled quickly and said, "I just don't have anything to do, so why don't we play chess?"
The entertainment of this era cannot be compared with that of later generations. It is very poor. Qining suddenly proposed to play chess. Gu Qinghan was a little surprised and felt very surprised.
Gu Qinghan was born into a local gentry. He had been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. He was proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his chess skills were not weak. However, after getting married, he had to manage a large family, so he really didn't have time to relax. Occasionally, he would just paint a few pictures when he had some free time. It's just a painting, I haven't played chess in many years.
Originally, she had been wary of Qi Ning recently. After what happened that night, she knew that the relationship between the two was already very dangerous. Since Qi Ning dared to do that that night, no one could guarantee that there would be another spark. Something irreversible happened, so he was always on tenterhooks. He dared to meet Qi Ning during the day, but if it got dark, he would not dare to be alone with Qi Ning no matter what.
I couldn't mention this kind of thing to anyone, so I had to be careful on my own.
In fact, Qi Ning's pursuit of her still made Gu Qinghan feel a little panicked. But deep down in her heart, although she knew that she could not make any progress with Qi Ning, she still felt strangely exciting, and it was as if there was no place to stir her heartstrings from time to time. , which made her feel a little excited, but more worried.
It’s just that she knows better that since she has entered the Qi family, the third master of the Qi family has gone, and she has not given birth to a son or a half, she will completely count on Qi Ning for the rest of her life. The two of them live in the same courtyard. If you keep your head down and don't see you when you look up, the relationship will probably become more and more tense.
Qi Ning naturally saw that Gu Qinghan was evasive towards him, and it would not work if it continued like this, so he wanted to ease the relationship.
The two of them had their own thoughts. Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, but then smiled brightly and asked, "Can you play chess?"
"Of course." Qining felt a little relieved when he heard Gu Qinghan's relaxed tone, and smiled: "But I don't dare to play Go with Sanniang. I know that Sanniang is proficient in chess, calligraphy, and painting. Playing Go with Sanniang is... Disgrace yourself.”
Gu Qinghan's charming eyes turned, and her eyes moved: "You don't play Go? Then what do you know?"
Qining laughed and said, "I'll tell you later."
There is a special chess room in the side hall. It is not very spacious, but the layout is very elegant and full of ancient charm. Gu Qinghan was careful and did not dare to stay alone with Qining in the chess room, so he called a maid beside him. When serving, with such a maid beside him serving tea and water, Gu Qinghan felt much more at ease. He thought that no matter how brave Qining was, he would not dare to do anything wrong to him in front of the maid.
"We don't play Go, we play backgammon." Qining picked up the black box and pushed the white box in front of Gu Qinghan.
Today, Gu Qinghan was wearing a white smoked plum blossom skirt, with a moon satin embroidered magnolia flying saucer cloak on the outside, and a pale pink brocade lining to wrap the chest. The cuffs were embroidered with delicate golden butterflies, and a few lace lines were outlined on the chest. The hem of the skirt is as thin as mist, and the waist is tied with a light green belt. It looks noble and slim, as if it is orchid.
There is a pair of silver butterfly jewelry hanging next to her ears. She uses a silver hairpin to hold her black hair and twist it into a delicate willow leaf hairpin. She looks fresh, beautiful and elegant. Her eyebrows are light, her cherry lips are unstained and red, and her whole body It exudes the sweet aroma of orchids, which is beautiful yet charming.
Qining glanced at Gu Qinghan's neck and was a little disappointed when he saw that Gu Qinghan was not wearing the heart pendant necklace he gave her, but this was also expected.
A smart and mature young woman like Gu Qinghan, of course, knows the meaning of wearing that necklace. If she really wears that necklace in front of Qi Ning, her intentions will be self-evident. At this time, Gu Qinghan cannot avoid Qi Ning. , where is it possible to wear that necklace in person
I don't know whether it's because the weather is getting colder or for other reasons, but Qining obviously feels that Gu Qinghan's clothes are much tighter than before in the past few days, but even so, no matter what clothes he wears, his plump and undulating figure It couldn't be concealed. Although the neckline was also tight, the plump and straight breasts still held up the front of the dress.
"Backgammon?" Gu Qinghan smiled brightly and charmingly, "I thought you had some wonderful ideas. You are no match for Sanniang in Go, so you can't win in backgammon."
Backgammon originated very early, and it is said that it appeared as early as Yao when he created Go.
"I'll go first." Gu Qinghan picked up a white piece with his jade-like green fingers and was about to place it on the chessboard first, but was stopped by Qining with his hand. Qining smiled and said: "Sanniang, since you are so good at chess, If you are taller than me, you should let me go first. Men should always take the initiative, don’t you think?"
He smiled and looked at Gu Qinghan, but Gu Qinghan did not show weakness and said: "I am your third mother, and you are my junior. Of course, the juniors must listen to the elders. If the elders say no, then it won't do."
The maid next to her was a little dizzy, thinking that it was just a game of chess, and it was necessary to fight for the first move and the second move.
Gu Qinghan couldn't help but pressed Bai Qi on the chessboard. Qining had no choice but to take back his hand and sighed: "Sanniang, there are some games that do not distinguish between elders and juniors. Look, the black piece in my hand is the same as yours." The white pieces in your hand are just different colors, not big or small. Since we are playing chess, we can no longer talk about big or small."
"Who said that?" Gu Qinghan glared at Qining, "The elders are the elders, and the juniors are the juniors. Although the chess pieces are the same, the identity of the person holding the chess pieces must be understood. And when playing games, you must abide by the rules. If you break the rules, If there are no rules, the game will not be played.”
Qi Ning laughed and said: "This is a game played by the two of us. We don't have to abide by the rules set by others. The rules we say are the same and no one can control them." He pressed the sunspot in his hand, "Just like when we make a move, if I let you, you can move first."
Gu Qinghan lowered his head to look at the chessboard, not looking at Qi Ning, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter who takes the lead in the beginning, what matters is how to move next. Your chess skills are still very young, and your skills are far from good. I play chess except for you. Uncle, I have never lost to anyone else."
"I know Sanniang is very good at chess." Qi Ning smiled and said: "A frontal attack may not be possible, but there are many ways to win chess. If a frontal attack fails, there will be other ways."
Gu Qinghan shook his head, raised his head slightly, raised his charming eyes slightly, glanced at Qining, and said: "I don't play chess to attack, but to defend. I have a copper wall and an iron wall here. Although it is golden, except for your third uncle who won back then." If you pass me once, no one can beat me even half a step. If you admit defeat, it's still too late, otherwise no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain."
