Zhao Layue raised her hand very powerfully, because she held the sword all the year round, her calloused fingers slid across the air on the stone steps at high speed, bringing the sound of the wind and whistling, like a flag hunting on the battlefield. It has the meaning of being decisive, and even has the meaning of obliterating the decision.
What is more decisive or determined is her eyes.
With just one look and one movement from Jing Jiu, she knew the meaning.
And vice versa.
Jing Jiu didn't continue talking, but he didn't understand why she didn't want to hear it.
He knew very well that Zhao Layue wanted to know his true identity the most.
Although she never mentioned it, she only occasionally mentioned Lian Sanyue and other names inadvertently in the conversation with him.
—This may be a temptation, or it may be the natural expression of her inner thoughts.
Today she came to see Tianjinren, just to ask this question, why didn't she ask? Jing Jiu was going to say it himself, why didn't she want to hear it
"I have had a lot of guesses about your identity. I thought you might be a demon from the evil sect, and I even had even more bizarre guesses."
Zhao Layue said: "But I didn't ask today, because I figured it out. I don't really need this answer."
Jing Jiu asked, "Why?"
"Because I don't want to hear a bad answer, and I don't know what to do if it's the answer."
When saying this, Zhao Layue looked a little timid.
If the disciples of Qingshan Sect saw this scene, they would be so shocked that they could not speak.
This is something that shouldn't happen to her.
Jing Jiu understood her feelings and said, "I promise you, it won't be a bad answer."
Zhao Layue was startled, not daring to think about it any further, and said, "That's good."
Jing Jiu said, "Is this enough?"
Zhao Layue said seriously: "It doesn't matter who you are, I only know that you are very important to me."
Jing Jiu thought for a while and said, "That's right."
Zhao Layue looked at him and laughed, the little flowers on her temples trembled in the wind.
Jing Jiu reached out and touched her head.
Zhao Layue's eyes were wide open, black and white were distinct, extremely agile, very moving.
Jing Jiu thought to himself that he would probably hear the mantra of the Qingshan School again.
"do not do that."
Zhao Layue was not angry, but a little uneasy.
She carefully took his hand off the top of her head.
Then, it didn't let go.
She pulled him up from the stone steps and walked towards the street above the plum garden.
In the past few years, they have traveled around the world, and occasionally when they needed to control their swords, their hands would be held together.
But that's holding, not pulling—holding is holding the sword, pulling is pulling.
And in normal times, they naturally wouldn't do this.
Today is mainly because Jing Jiu was injured.
Maybe so.
The two walked to the street.
The street next to Gumeiyuan has become empty, and the chess stalls have been removed, leaving only some scraps of paper and a few old benches overturned on the ground.
The front is still lively, and the crowd gathers together, exclaiming from time to time.
The young man was standing in front of a chess stand, his immature face was no longer so indifferent, but more bored.
It was hard for him to play chess with the bosses of these chess stalls.
This is easy to understand.
It's just why he came here and insisted on driving away these chess stalls in this way
Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue walked on the street without stopping or looking over there.
They knew who the young man was, but were not particularly interested.
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting had nothing to do with their lives.
Until a few exclamations sounded from the crowd.
Then they heard a word.
…
…
Mr. He of the Chunxi Chess Hall had an ugly expression on his face, especially when he saw the tired look on the young man's face.
Just now he went off in person and suffered a disastrous defeat. What made him even more frightened was that he didn't understand how he lost at all, and he couldn't even tell the depth of the opponent's chess strength.
Footsteps came from outside the crowd. He looked back and saw Mr. Er, who had the most friends in the chess hall, walking in the front, he was relieved immediately.
Chunxi Chess Hall is quite famous in Chaoge City, and it must have invited a powerful chess player.
When he saw the old man in commoner clothes with a long beard facing the wind, he gasped in shock and wondered why he was invited here
More and more people saw the old man, and the crowd parted like a tidal wave. The low-pitched discussions and guesses kept ringing out, and finally they couldn't hold back any longer and turned into exclamations.
"Scholar Guo!"
"Why did the old man come here?"
The old man is called Guo Qi, and he is an important official of the imperial court, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and has a very high status.
For the people on this street who make a living by playing chess, another identity of the old man is even more famous.
Master Guo is a national chess player! He was even recognized as the first person in the court!
"Next."
Just at this moment, the young man ended the current game without raising his head, and said directly.
Master Guo walked to the chess stand and said, "Please enlighten me."
The young man raised his head, seeing that he was a little surprised, his expression finally became serious, and he raised his hand and said, "My lord is well informed."
"I can only say that I was lucky today."
Master Guo stroked his long beard lightly, and said with a smile: "Because of the Meihui, the court meeting was cancelled, and I went to Ruixiang Building for dinner. After a few words, it sounds like you are described, so naturally I have to take a look."
Only then did Mr. He know why Master Guo appeared.
The Qing Ke in the scholar's mansion is very good at chess, far better than the ordinary chess masters in Chaoge City, but he can't match the scholar himself.
It's just that how can such a big man as Master Guo be recruited by his own chess hall
Just thinking about this, he heard the young man say, "It's not like that."
Master Guo said sternly: "I don't know how many people in Chaoge City want to have a hand-to-hand conversation with you, but you haven't said it all the time. Today is a rare opportunity, how can I miss it?"
Listening to the conversation, the crowd was in an uproar, wondering who is this young man? After all, Mr. He was different from the people who set up stalls on the street. He guessed the identity of the young man, his expression changed suddenly, his clothes were wet with cold sweat, and he thought that he had actually played a game of chess with this man? Isn't this courting death? But the next moment he was happy again, losing to this player was a matter of course, it was not a shame to talk about it, the key was how many people had the chance to play chess with this player? What a glorious thing it is.
"I just don't understand why you come here to play chess?"
Guo Dashi looked at the simple environment and the extremely ordinary chess equipment, and frowned, very puzzled.
"I don't want these people to play chess, especially here," said the young man.
Senior Scholar Guo's eyes fell on Mei Lin in the distance, he was slightly startled, and understood what he meant.
The Gumei Garden has been gradually forgotten by the world, but it has witnessed the most important events in the history of the human race, and those people.
A place like this shouldn't be disturbed by the noise of chess scrambles and charlatans.
"It's really ugly."
Master Guo looked around and said, "If you beat me, I will clear this place."
As a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, he certainly has this ability.
The young man didn't accept it, and said, "You can't beat me. As for clearing the venue, these stall operators won't be convinced, and there will be many dissatisfied people in Chaoge City."
The crowd exclaimed again, thinking how arrogant this man was.
Master Guo, however, heard other meanings and said solemnly, "Please."
The young man said: "Please wait a moment, I have something to do first."
Senior Bachelor Guo said, "Please."
After saying this, his eyes fell on a relatively clean stool.
The steward of the Bachelor's Mansion hurried forward to wipe it off and brought tea.
Master Guo sat down, wondering what the young man was going to do.
The young man looks down the street.
A couple of young men and women wearing hats passed by.
The young man said, "Would you like to come and have a try?"
The sun shone on the hat, glowing slightly.
The two stopped and did not speak.
The young man said: "I mean you come and see if you can understand my chess."

(I thought I would be able to go back to Daqing in ten days, but now I can’t at all. I seriously underestimated my father’s pleasure in traveling. These days, I have driven two to three thousand kilometers. It’s really magnificent. Not only the beautiful rivers and mountains, but also the playfulness of our family. I drive hundreds of kilometers every day, and then travel to a place for a day or two. If I take any time to code, I’m tired and crazy. It’s good to keep updated. There must be many things wrong with the words and sentences. I apologize to everyone. I will come in a few days Repair. The good news is that our two cars parted ways in Luoyang yesterday. I was in the Hengshui Hotel, which I had never been to before, thinking about Lao Baigan, which I hadn’t actually drunk. I should be able to drive back to Daqing in three or four days. I drive slowly, safety first. It is said that every time I drive long distances from north to south, I always want to chat with everyone, and every time I persuade everyone to go out more when they have time, but often I don’t have anything to say because I am too lazy. Before A few days ago, when I was traveling from Sichuan to Xi’an, I passed by a place called Chaotian. The Qinling Mountains were full of wild cherry blossoms. It was so beautiful. Today, I stopped at the Hebi service area for dinner and found Mr. Li. I was pleasantly surprised. I got back in the car and saw that the car was facing the tourist. The billboard reads the word Chaoge... It was a surprise again. I took a photo. If I remember it, I will post it on the WeChat official account in a few days. In addition, I went to the Longmen Grottoes yesterday, looked at those Buddha statues, and thought The Holy Empress felt a little bewildered, but also felt incomparably awesome, just like Jing Jiu.)
