The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Tang Ci quickly found Shao Qingge's contact information, and used his communicator to call, and after two beeps, a gentle mechanical voice came from his ear: "Hello, the master is not at home, please leave a message if you have anything to do. "

Tang Ci left a message for Shao Qingge, asking him to call him back.Immediately afterwards, he called the company again, and the assistant said that Mr. Shao was not in, but he still couldn't connect to Shao Qingge's personal phone.

Tang Ci looked at Xiao Lou: "Shao Qingge is not at home, not in the company, and I can't get through the private number."

Xiao Lou guessed, "Will he be with Ye Qi?"

Tang Ci glanced at the searched information, and said: "Ye Qi is currently a freshman in the Department of Mecha Control of the Ninth Military Academy. It is now July, and their school happens to be on summer vacation these few days. Mr. Shao may pick up Ye Qi himself. gone?"

Hearing the "Ninth Military Academy", Lu Jiuchuan said, "We also graduated from this school, right?"

Tang Ci nodded: "Yes. You are from the Military Command Department, and I am from the Mecha Control Department. I am Ye Qi's senior."

Xiao Lou said: "If Mr. Shao goes to pick up Ye Qi, the Southern Cross where the military academy is located is far away, and it will take two days and two nights to get to the Capital Star. The phone can't get through, maybe it's because the signal on the Southern Cross is blocked. ?”

Tang Ci asked: "By the way, Professor Xiao, isn't your Taohuayuan able to forcibly summon your teammates? Can you try to pull your teammates over directly?"

Xiao Lou thinks this is unlikely. When pulling teammates in the past, everyone was in the same city, or even the same maze, and the distance was very close.Now is the interstellar era, you can't teleport across the planet, right?That's so unscientific.

Starships and high-intelligence armor need space jump technology to shuttle between the stars. If human beings can teleport directly between galaxies tens of thousands of light-years away, what do they need these armors for?

Although rationally he felt that it was unlikely that Taohuayuan would summon his teammates, Xiao Lou still wanted to try.He activated Tao Yuanming, released Tale of the Peach Blossom Spring, and extended an invitation to his teammates.

Soon, six people appeared under the peach blossom tree.

Besides Xiao Lou and the others, there were also Long Sen and Qu Wanyue.

Qu Wanyue walked over and said, "After Long Sen came home just now, he asked me a bunch of things about my college days for no apparent reason. He believed me to be true only when I could answer them well. He also nervously told me that this Does the dungeon have duplicators?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Yes, we found Xiao Lou's clone in the palace."

He couldn't help but glance at Long Sen, this guy is enough, his daughter-in-law still has to rely on past experience to distinguish between true and false, compared to Yu Hanjiang who can recognize a replicant with his eyes in 3 seconds, Long Sen's rank is too low, I have to practice again.

Sensing Yu Hanjiang's disgust, Long Sen scratched his head and asked with a smile, "Professor Xiao suddenly summoned his teammates, is there something important?"

Xiao Lou explained: "We couldn't find any information about Liu Qiao, Lao Mo, Sister Huaying, and Senior Gui. We wanted to see if we could use Taohuayuan to gather other teammates."

Long Sen looked at Tang Ci: "Can't even find Mr. Tang?"

Tang Ci said: "There are no names of the four of them in the federal identity database."

After waiting for a while, there were still only six people under the peach blossom tree, and there was still no sign of Liu Qiao and the others.Xiao Lou said helplessly: "It seems that there is no way to teleport across the universe and interstellar space. You must be on at least one planet to enter the Taohuayuan."

This was also expected by Xiao Lou, so he was not too disappointed.At least the fact that the four of Liu Qiao couldn't enter Taohuayuan also indirectly proved his conjecture: "The six of them are not currently in Capital Star."

Lu Jiuchuan touched his chin: "So, there must be another plot line?"

Xiao Loudao: "Mr. Shao and Ye Qi should come back. Their home is in Capital Star, and they are probably on their way back. But the remaining four have not been able to find any clues, and they don't know what roles and tasks they have been assigned?" He looked at Qu Wanyue: "Does Teacher Qu have any news about Xiao Liu and the others?"

Qu Wanyue shook her head: "I haven't come into contact with them in this world. I'm a dance teacher at Pathers College of the Arts, and among my students and colleagues, I don't have any information about the four of them. By the way, I know General Lin daughter, Lin Yan. It is said that she is the fiancée of His Royal Highness?"

Lu Jiuchuan glanced at Yu Hanjiang: "Xiao Lou has a fiancee?!"

That look is very complicated, as if to say, he already has a fiancee, why don't you hurry up? !

Yu Hanjiang ignored his brother's gaze, and asked calmly, "What kind of person is Miss Lin?"

Qu Wanyue found that he didn't mind, so she said honestly: "Lin Yan is the most talented student I have ever taught. She has been in ballet since elementary school. She has a good figure and a gentle and generous personality. Her father is a three-star general in the military department. , Mother is the dean of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, His Majesty chose this young lady as the prince's fiancée, probably because of her relatively strong family background."

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou: "It sounds like the right family."

Xiao Lou rubbed his nose: "Cough, I'm not familiar with her."

Qu Wanyue wondered: "But in my impression, Lin Yan seems to like His Royal Highness very much, and often tells people how good His Highness is. Professor Xiao, are you sure you are not familiar with her?"

Xiao Lou shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."

Qu Wanyue was silent for a moment: "Could it be that Miss Lin knows that replicant?"

Xiao Lou only remembered that his father had mentioned to him that he had a fiancée, and the marriage was arranged when his mother was still there. As for what the girl looked like, Xiao Lou had never seen it before.

Yu Hanjiang also noticed that something was wrong: "Let's leave first, everyone be careful, leave the code of the communication device, and keep in touch at any time. Teacher Qu, you can talk to that Miss Lin again, and let us know if you have any clues."

Qu Wanyue: "Understood."

Everyone saved each other's numbers.

After coming out of Taohuayuan, Yu Hanjiang followed Xiao Lou's suggestion and used the "Thumbelina" card in Lu Jiuchuan's hand to make Xiao Lou smaller and put it in his pocket; at the same time, he used "Qin Guan" to connect each other's consciousness.

Yu Hanjiang drove back to the palace.

As he approached the gate of the palace, Xiao Lou was unavoidably nervous. If all the card effects within the palace area automatically expired, wouldn't he become bigger as soon as he entered the gate?

Yu Hanjiang calmly passed the inspection of the guards and walked into the gate of the palace.

Fortunately, what Xiao Lou was worried about didn't happen, and he still stayed in Yu Hanjiang's pocket.

Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Yu Hanjiang's voice in his head: "You guessed right, as long as the card is used outside the palace, the persistent effect will still take effect after entering the palace. However, new cards cannot be used inside the palace. , it will be more difficult to deal with emergencies.”

All instant cards cannot be used within the scope of the palace. The cards that can be used are "card effects with a relatively long duration". For example, Thumbelina's transformation lasts for 24 hours, and the channel of heart-to-heart also lasts for 24 hours. It is activated outside the palace, and it is still valid after entering the palace.

Yu Hanjiang brought the shrunken Xiao Lou back to the twin wombs, and then released the card's deformation state, and sent a message to his teammates: "I tested it with Xiao Lou, the card is used outside the palace, and the continuous effect enters the palace still in effect.”

In this way, on the day of the birthday party, Qu Wanyue can use the [Chameleon Card] to sneak into the palace in advance.

-

That night, Yu Hanjiang slept in Xiao Lou's bedroom.

Since there is no guest room, he and Xiao Lou can only sleep in the same bed.

As early as in the secret room of 8 of Hearts, they had been a married couple for the rest of their lives, sharing the same bed every night.It's just that at that time Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang hadn't communicated with each other, and they were embarrassed to touch each other.So, every night, the two of them lay on their backs on the bed, posing for sleep, as if they were lying dead side by side.

It's different now, the two of them have already confessed to each other, they sleep in the same bed, they are both young adults, if it becomes difficult to control themselves...

The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the hotter his face became. After taking a shower, he immediately went to bed and turned around to pretend to be asleep.

Yu Hanjiang also took a shower in his bathroom.

When he came out, he found that Xiao Lou's back was facing the bathroom, occupying only a quarter of the space beside the bed, leaving a large space for him.Yu Hanjiang lifted the quilt, got into the bed, stretched out his long arms, and gently hugged Xiao Lou from behind into his arms.

A man's deep voice came from next to his ear; "Sleeping on the edge of the bed, aren't you afraid of falling?"

The roots of Xiao Lou's ears were hot for a while, and moved in to cooperate with Yu Hanjiang.Yu Hanjiang hugged him from behind, both of them had the same scent of shower gel, Xiao Lou thought to himself, now they seem to be more like a couple than when they were 8 of hearts?Nestled in Yu Hanjiang's arms, with his back against the man's strong chest, the heat from him made his heart beat faster.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a low laughter suddenly came from his ears: "Well, it really looks like a husband and wife."

Xiao Lou: "..."

Forget that there is still a tacit understanding.

Whatever he thinks can be conveyed to Yu Hanjiang's mind.

Xiao Lou's face turned red, he didn't dare to think about anything, and quickly closed his eyes.

Yu Hanjiang simply turned over and pressed him on the bed, looked at him with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lou, we have experienced so many secret rooms together, do you know which one I like best?"

Xiao Lou was embarrassed to answer, but an answer couldn't help appearing in his mind.

8 of Hearts.

Yu Hanjiang put his lips close to his ear, and said word by word: "I also like the 8 of hearts the most - because in that world, we were husband and wife for the rest of our lives, and there are memories of weddings in the bridal chamber."

Xiao Lou: "..."

With a tacit understanding, I always feel a little ashamed, and I can't hide anything from Yu Hanjiang.Xiao Lou simply stretched out his hand and gently hugged the man on his body: "You know what I think, but in fact, I already liked you at that time."

Yu Hanjiang's voice was gentle: "Me too."

The kiss came unexpectedly, the moment his teeth were pried open, Xiao Lou's mind went blank, he didn't know when Yu Hanjiang's hand got into his loose pajamas, and he took off his clothes.

This is the first time Xiao Lou has been honest with someone.

Naked and hugged by Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou looked like a cooked shrimp, looking at him with lowered eyes in embarrassment.Yu Hanjiang's burning kiss was imprinted on his lips, and gradually went down...

Xiao Lou was so nervous that his whole body stiffened, feeling a little sudden?

An ambiguous voice came from the bedroom, Xiao Lou closed his eyes and grasped the bed sheet tightly with both hands.

But Yu Hanjiang didn't make it to the end.He knew that the current environment was not suitable for burdening Xiao Lou's body.Yu Hanjiang stepped on the brakes calmly, took a deep breath to stabilize his violent heartbeat, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Don't worry, I have my own measure." He paused, and then explained: "Leave some marks on your body, so that you can Distinguish between you and replicants."

Xiao Lou's face turned red: "This is for the benefit of the public."

Yu Hanjiang admitted frankly: "Well. Actually, I just want to stamp it to prove that you are mine."

Xiao Lou: "..."

Use the "full body stamp" method to prove it?

In fact, Xiao Lou knew why Yu Hanjiang did this - because he had a fiancée and Yu Hanjiang was unhappy, so he gave him hickeys all over his body.

Don't look at this man's usually indifferent appearance, but he is extremely possessive.

But Xiao Lou can also understand that if Yu Hanjiang had a fiancée, he would definitely not be happy either.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, Xiao Lou had no choice but to hug Yu Hanjiang, and promised: "The fiancée is just a setting. I don't know her well, and it is impossible to marry her. If my father forces me to marry her, I will confess to her. Say I like you."

Only then was Yu Hanjiang satisfied, leaned over and kissed Xiao Lou's lips, turned over and lay beside Xiao Lou, and hugged him tightly: "Go to sleep."

Xiao Lou closed his eyes in peace.
