After most of the performance, Kang Xian got off the boat from the main building and went all the way back to his boat. He greeted some people on the first floor, and then went upstairs to greet the juniors he met above, and looked at Huafang Yi. When I turned to the side, I realized that the situation was a little strange.
There were actually two pairs of people watching the performance by the window and playing chess.
"It's really strange, why every time I see you, the most leisurely person is always a young boy like you. It's really annoying. The girls below are working hard to perform. You are distracted here, not afraid of being seen and scolded. Are you blind to such a good seat..." Every time he saw Ning Yi, Kang Xian had to say a few words, and when he saw the chessboard, he wondered, "Hey, this game is really weird..."
Turning his head to look at the window on the other side, the chess game in front of the two siblings was equally strange. The elder sister frowned unhappily, holding chess pieces as if calculating, while the younger brother looked a little excited: "Sister, if you don't block here, you will lose."
This is the first time Kang Xian has seen such a situation. After Ning Yi smiled and told him the rules of Gobang, he suddenly realized: "You can always find something like this to play." When he went to look over there , Between the two children, the elder sister has already lost, and when she sees Kang Xian, one calls: "Grandpa aunt."
"It seems that you already know each other. These are the Ning Yi and Ning Liheng you often ask about... Liheng, these two are juniors in the family, the elder sister Xiaopei and the younger brother are Junwu, one is thirteen years old and the other is ten years old. One year old. Xiao Pei is a famous and talented girl in the family, and I have long seen that you are not convinced. "
Kang Xian had a pleasant introduction, but the two children over there had dark faces, especially the elder sister, who turned her head to be rather unhappy. The younger brother complained: "Grandpa, he lied to me just now that he was not Ning Liheng."
Kang Xian was slightly stunned, and when he talked about the ins and outs, he just smiled and said, "You kid will have to take the test as soon as you come here, and the result will not be good, so you have to remember the lesson in the future... Liheng is also the king of children all day long. I've been thinking about how to entertain the child... uh, Xiao Pei Junwu, do you still have any questions to ask at this time, I promise to let him answer you."
The elder sister named Xiao Pei turned her head and said, "Hmph, I'm afraid that people will test him, since I don't have true knowledge and I have a guilty conscience. At this time, I have a conclusion, so don't ask!" She said and went to the side to collect the chess pieces. Jun Wu then smiled: "Then I won't ask anymore, I'll go play chess with my sister." In the past, if he played Go, he and his sister would have lost or won against each other. After a few rounds, I was quite happy, but I didn't feel bad about Ning Yi. And that Xiaopei's dissatisfaction with Ning Yi estimated that half of it came from backgammon, but she was also tenacious. At this time, she continued to play backgammon with her younger brother, and she wanted to master it and pull back the situation directly.
Since someone came to talk, Xiaochan actually got up from her seat, Kang Xian sat down on the chair with a smile, watched the endgame of Gobang, dropped a piece at will, and said with a smile: "It's interesting to say, Xiaochan If you call your uncle, they have to call me my uncle. I used to be called Concubine Consort, but now I am called Grandpa Concubine. Haha, in this generational matter, adding a single word makes me one generation older..."
After thinking of it, he gestured to the two children over there and lowered his voice: "The two children of King Kang's Zhou Yong's family are full of praise for you on weekdays. Knowing poetry, poetry, writing and ink, many skills can be mastered after learning, but the most powerful is arithmetic. Last year, the little girl had nothing to do with the account book at home. She calculated all the numbers without abacus. There is a great elder sister who is always sent to and fro on weekdays, hehe, quite interesting..."
Ning Yi looked back, the girl named Zhou Pei was facing this side, frowning and thinking about chess, she couldn't help but glared at Ning Yi, Ning Yi smiled: "It seems that he is the only one who can It's better than my sister's game."
The performance below continued. Naturally, it was impossible for Kang Xian to keep interacting with several juniors here. After playing the half-game, he probably understood the concept of backgammon and left. Then Ning Yi and Xiaochan watched the performance, and the siblings next to them were still playing Gobang. The girl named Zhou Pei is also strange. In the first few rounds, she didn't say that she changed to Go or not at all, but kept playing. In the end, it seemed that the situation had been slightly restored.
The one-night performance came to a successful conclusion, and then the appearance of the four leaders was announced with great momentum. They were Feng Xiaojing, the oiran of the previous session, Qilan, who was supported by the Puyang family, Yuan Jiner and Yuan Jiner of Jinfenglou. A rookie named Luo Miaomiao, Lu Caicai, who was one of the four leaders last year, fell off the list.
Ning Yi just came to watch the performance, and things like these rankings had nothing to do with him. In short, the performance was quite pleasant to watch, and everything went smoothly tonight, and then the whole venue began to end. After Ning Yi and Xiaochan got off the boat, a vague confusion came from the door. Hearing others talk about it, it was probably because a group of people who supported Lu Caicai over there were unhappy and had quarrels with others, resulting in a small-scale fight.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. It happens almost every year, big and small. It is not a big problem. The soldiers who maintain order have already rushed over, and they will be calmed down soon. On the side of the main building ship, many dignitaries are chatting. In fact, this lively and carnival tonight is not over for many people, and there is a later banquet to go. Kang Xian was also saying goodbye over there, but when Ning Yi and Xiao Chan passed by, he smiled so that the two of them didn't have to go too busy: "My boat is also going back, it's okay to go together later, you two didn't drive Come, if you go back, I'm afraid you will be a little tired."
The crowd gathered and dispersed from far and near the venue, and the lights began to stretch from the road to Jiangning City. After a while, the crowd here dwindled, and another accident happened on the side of Ning Yi's field of vision. Maybe it was because the weather was a little hot. Someone in a large tent behind the stage thought someone knocked down the candle, and a fire appeared on the beach, igniting the tent and the surrounding items, and it was burning brightly.
People from various brothels ran out from there. Fortunately, there are not many people in this area. Most of the people who are left are celebrities, officials, dignitaries, their followers, soldiers and a very small number of spectators who have not left. , it is unlikely that any stampede will occur. Someone was instructing: "Go and put out the fire..." Many people went over there. Ning Yi thought of Nie Yunzhu and asked Xiaochan to stay here for a while. After following him, he met Nie Yunzhu heading this way. Yuan Jin'er, she got the four heads of the line, and she was going to celebrate. At this time, she was surrounded by a large group of people on the other side, but it was nothing.
"That's the big tent of Piaoxiangyuan. It's far away from us, but it was a little scary to hear that the water was running. But in fact, no one was burned, and they all ran out. It's just that the tent is so big. Now I want to put it away. It's not easy to put out the fire..."
From a distance, the fire on the beach looked amazing, mainly because the tent was large and there were many items around. But if it really spreads too far, it's actually impossible. At this time, it was just watching the grand occasion of a group of people fighting the fire heroically. Ning Yi returned all the way to the hillside, found Xiaochan, and looked back at the play leisurely. Everything was normal tonight, and the flames didn't have any effect, so I was just waiting to go back.
He stood there thinking about it, almost yawning, when a cool wind rushed towards him, something suddenly crossed his mind, leaving him stunned for a while.
Looking at the fire field below, and looking at the people here, looking for the target, some clues became three-dimensional in my mind. That's right... When the flames were burning just now, Chen Yong, the commander of Wu Lie's army, called out, "Go and put out the fire..." Active around that fire...
The reason why they were asked to go is because a large number of people outside are leaving, and because of the accident of the fight, the arrangement of the yamen will not be able to keep up for a while, and there are not many soldiers here at this time...
"That's the big tent of Piaoxiangyuan..." Yunzhu said. Piaoxiangyuan, Chen Yong of the Wu Liejun previously supported the top girl of Piaoxiangyuan. At this moment, that girl... Ning Yi turned to look... The top card of Piaoxiangyuan was standing beside Chen Yong... That's why he called the guard over there...
Can't find Song Xian, Song Xian probably has something to do, and when the crowd disperses, he is ready to leave to deal with it. Then there was a fire. Chen Yong ordered his guards to put out the fire. Song Xian left some of his guards, but he had already left...
The strong wind blew over, and the wind on the distant river beach helped the fire, raising the flame abruptly. Ning Yi's face flickered. When he was in the crowd last night, he had considered many plans. If he wanted to kill Song Xian, what should he do. It's just that the situation last night was different from now. He didn't think about these things tonight, but now that he thinks about it, if he wants to kill Song Xian, if these two small accidents are not a coincidence...
For a moment, he took Xiaochan's hand and walked towards Kang Xian not far away. Xiaochan's face was flushed: "Auntie, Auntie, Auntie..."
"Elder Kang, do you have a carriage here?"
"Is something wrong with Liheng?"
"I remember an urgent matter, I'm afraid I have to go back with Xiaochan first."
"Okay." Kang Xian didn't say much, nodded, "I'll ask Agui to take you there."
Not long after, the carriage with the Consort's House logo left the venue and turned onto the main road. Although there were many pedestrians returning to Jiangning on both sides of the road at this time, there was still space left in the center of the official road, so that the carriage could move forward at a moderate speed. Ning Yi occasionally waved his whip and looked at Jiangning City on the other side of the road. The front end of this crowd after the meeting has begun to approach the city gate...
Two carriages with the logo of Wu Liejun entered Jiangning City and passed through all the way.
At this time, the competition on the Bailuzhou side had dissipated soon, and most of the people had not returned to Jiangning. It was already late. If they stayed in Jiangning, those who should have slept had already slept. The two carriages passed through the bright or dark city streets and drove all the way to the city gate at the other end of the city. The sound of wheels, the sound of horses' hooves, and the clack of flying, quickly left the bright or dark road behind. About halfway through, this is a relatively open but quiet road. The shops on both sides have been closed, and all kinds of shelves. , garbage, signboards, lights in some rooms, a few dimly lit lanterns hung on the corners of the street, and the moment after the sound of whipping the whip sounded, the driver of the carriage in front shouted: "Who!"
The answer will come in the next moment, like two rays of light colliding together, and at the moment of contact, they are torn apart from each other!
Destruction, shattering, disintegration, bloodshed—
