Chess game

In the garden of Bailu Villa, there were people coming and going at this time, their clothes fragrant and their temples shadowed, it was extremely lively, and an extremely luxurious banquet was being held.

Mao Xuecheng was half lying on a deck chair beside the flowers under the tree, resting his stomach on one hand, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, squinting his eyes and shaking it gently.And around him, surrounded by a group of beautiful and enthusiastic women, all smiling, looking for a gap to talk to him.

"His Royal Highness Mao Xue, I would like to present you with a glass of wine, can I accept it?"

"Your Highness, you have come from a long way, do you know about this Baizhi City's Huanfeng Cake? I made it myself, how would you like to try it?"

"Young Master Cheng, can you dance with me?"

"---------"

Surrounded by a group of Yingying and Yanyan, the surroundings are chattering, the atmosphere is noisy, and it sounds annoying.But Mao Xuecheng always smiled slightly from the beginning to the end, and answered or shirked all the requests gracefully, without the slightest hint of impatience in his expression.Even Bai Lugeng, who was walking slowly from a distance, had to admire his unique self-cultivation at this moment, which was beyond compare!

Because Bailu is the lord of this place, when she appeared, everyone hurriedly retreated after saluting, and scattered like birds and beasts, but within a few seconds, there was no one around Mao Xuecheng.It was only at this time that Mao Xuecheng's eyes finally fell on her, but he didn't get up, just looked at her directly with a slight smile.

"So it's Miss Bailu, are you also interested in inviting me to dance?"

Hearing what he said, Bailu's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth deliberately curled up into a smile, looked at him and said, "Your Highness Maoxue, since you came here, you have been holding a dance every now and then, and almost all the girls in the city They're all here, haven't you danced enough?"

Mao Xuecheng shook his head and smiled disapprovingly when he heard the words, "How can they compare with you, Miss Bailu? So, if you invite me, I think I'd still like to show respect!"

Is there anything more narcissistic and shameless than someone who says such things?Bai Lu even felt that his back molars were a little sore. Although he wanted to tear him into pieces, he still had to maintain a demeanor on his face, trying to make himself smile pleasingly.

"If there is an opportunity, it would be my honor to invite His Royal Highness Mao Xue to dance with you! But with all due respect, what is the important thing for you to travel through mountains and rivers to come to my little Baizhi City? It must not be to come Are you playing?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Mao Xuecheng was obviously surprised, and looked at her innocently with a pair of beautiful eyes wide open, "You are so smart! You guessed right? I just came to play, don't you?" Say, is there anything wrong with this?"

This will not only hurt the back molars, Bai Lu tried harder to calm down, forced himself to smile and look at him and said: "Of course there is nothing wrong---but we are open-minded people who don't speak secretly! You are here , What exactly is—what is the intention?”

"Purpose! Naturally, I heard that you have the most beauties in Baizhi City, so I came here to take a look!! However, I only realized it after seeing it—it's really disappointing!"

He actually let out a long sigh!

Are you saying this to deliberately satirize that she is not as good-looking as him?Seeing his disappointed face at this time, Bailu felt even more distressed, his liver hurt, and every internal organ was in pain, and he was almost so angry that his seven orifices were smoked.Just as he was about to say something, he saw a subordinate running over in panic, shouting and coming forward to report: "My lord! It's not good! The Qingshuang villa is on fire!!"

"What's going on?" Bai Lu was furious and asked immediately.

"The cause of the fire is still unknown! But Master Yamazaki is rushing over! The fire will be brought under control soon, and the damage will not be too great!!"

This is not a question of loss or loss at all!

Bai Lu stood upside down on his eyebrows, and suddenly turned his head viciously to look at Mao Xuecheng who was lying leisurely, and said angrily: "Your Highness Mao Xue, is it interesting to do this?!"

"Oh?" Hearing what she said, Mao Xuecheng finally sat up to look at her, with a look of surprise on his face, "What are you talking about? I don't understand now, it's none of my business that your garden is on fire! !"

This look!This breath!As innocent as possible, Bai Lu was finally discouraged, turned around and left angrily!

Turning out of the garden, Bai Lugeng's expression was finally completely serious. The raging anger just now was almost gone. He just frowned and asked the people beside him: "What do you think of this man?"

The person next to him immediately bowed and replied seriously: "On the surface, you pretend to be stupid, but in reality it is unfathomable! Be careful!"

Bai Lu narrowed his eyes even more, obviously agreeing with him, and did not refute.Then he asked again: "Then what do you think he came here for? What is he looking for if he is so deliberate here?"

The person next to him seemed to be silent for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This person is not easy to offend, but according to the information we have, this person is the most indifferent, never willing to pursue fame and fortune, nor to indulge Yu Quan has always held the attitude of being idle and playing with life! Ordinarily, there are not many things that can tempt him! ---"

Bailu finally squinted his eyes at this moment, and realized something in an instant.Said: "What he cares about the most in his life is his appearance, so he came this time, could it be said that he is going for that god?!"

"It shouldn't be wrong! Yan Lingzhu is a sacred object that warms and nourishes spiritual power, and it also has the miraculous effect of self-cultivation and beauty. Did he come here to steal Yan Lingzhu?!"

Bailu sneered even more sternly: "He dared to make such a calculation, how brave he is! He has a special status, if there is no evidence, I really can't do anything to him!! But if he really dares to do this, I will definitely Let him look good!!! So, from today on, send me someone to keep an eye on him!!"

On a dark and windy night, the Egret Mansion sings and dances, and the cups and plates intertwine, talking and laughing.At the same time, a black shadow entered the Sujing villa, and finally sneaked into the attic.

With extreme care, he removed the dangerous prohibition all over the building, entered the room, and finally successfully walked to the table.

When I opened the box to look at it, the golden strands inside were shining brightly, and it was an extremely dazzling mass, which was exactly what I wanted.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, so he closed the lid again, picked it up, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Papa!" In the boundless shadows, someone suddenly clapped their hands twice.

"That's not bad! Mr. Cheng, your method of repairing the plank road and concealing Chen Cang is so beautiful! While you are making a big splash to attract everyone's attention, you are using Yan Lingzhu to seduce people's hearts and confuse the audience, but now you put your real purpose behind you. On the soul of the curse, I would like to ask, how many substitutes do you have available? Who was the drunk at the banquet? Who was injured by Yamazaki Yasushi? Now I went to Haitian Pavilion to attract pursuers Who is it?"

Mao Xuecheng turned around, didn't answer all his questions, just sighed softly, stared at him and said, "Why do you bother with these insignificant things? You know, the time they left us Not much!! There is still half a minute before the defense change! I advise you to be careful!!"

As he spoke, he threw the box in his hand towards him suddenly, and Zhui Sheng caught it subconsciously, with doubts clearly rising in his brows, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

Mao Xuecheng looked at him with a slight sneer, "Are you doubting me? You even think this thing is fake? But I still advise you not to use unnecessary thoughts in unnecessary places. Being too confident is nothing Good thing! In the past few days, I have screened all the places, and there is nothing wrong with it here! If Bailu wants to cheat, he will definitely work hard on the prohibition! So, the next step is your own business, please Do it yourself!"

As he said, he was about to turn around and leave. Before he left, he couldn't help but turn around and say, "Oh! Actually, I don't want to take the risk to help you! But, I always keep my word and I am entrusted by others , must be loyal, so you don't need to ask me for anything!"

Seeing this person's ups and downs, and his back going away, Ji Shengling frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that there was something he couldn't figure out.Because he had deliberately touched this man's neck out of suspicion at first, but he didn't find any trace of disguise!So, what method did he use to make all the doubles exactly the same?

However, as the man said, the enemy didn't give him any more time, so half a second later, when he heard the flames in the west rising into the sky and making chaos, he also tapped his toes and left the place quietly.

Ups and downs, no surprises! !

Mao Xuecheng stood on the edge of the window sill, looked out the window coldly, there were obviously traces of worry floating between his brows.Fortunately, after a while, a familiar figure finally jumped in from the outside.

Then the air drifted into bits and pieces, a very faint smell of blood.

"Are you injured?" Mao Xuecheng's expression suddenly became serious. "Is it very dangerous inside? What's going on?"

"They are in the light, we are in the dark, so things are not as difficult as imagined! So, don't worry!" The person who came waved away the few remaining smells in the room.At this time, there was almost no worry on his face, which was the same as that of Mao Xuecheng, and he said seriously: "As we expected, the egret will not let us get it easily, but fortunately now Lu is here. Everything in the open is useless! And what is buried in the dark should also surface! Therefore, what I have said before still counts! Regardless of success or failure, you will have no regrets!!"

This should be an extremely chaotic night, with the whole city in chaos.And when everyone was in a state of panic, fear, or clapping their hands in celebration, they turned their backs on their backs.In Bai Lugeng's main mansion, the hall is still singing and dancing, drinking and drinking, and the music is extremely beautiful and moving.And from the beginning to the end, there was no unsightly person or thing to disturb her!

Egret seemed to be half-drunk. She was half-reclining on the chair, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were slightly narrowed.When she became interested, she suddenly raised her hand and made a toast to Mao Xuecheng who was sitting across from him.

He chuckled lightly and said, "Your Highness Maoxue, today's entertainment program is unexpectedly wonderful, have you watched enough?"
