On the second day of hunting in Baiyan Mountain, it started to rain suddenly. The rain was quite heavy, and it didn't seem to stop until the morning of the third day.

Normally, heavy rain in the mountains will always cause some stagnant water and mudslides, but hunting in Baiyan Mountain is a royal tradition, and the camps are all on high ground, and there are ditches dug in the camps, so apart from the fact that the ground is a bit muddy, it is really not a big problem.

Qi Xiao stood at the entrance of the tent and looked at Yu Luo in a daze.

The sky was gloomy, the rain was dripping and the wind was noisy, the camp was silent only the sound of armor rubbing faintly from a distance, it was the imperial army patrolling the camp.

Qi Xiao suddenly remembered Fenglin Mountain more than a year ago, the scene at that time was actually quite similar to this moment.

He pretended to be a hunter in the mountains and was brought into Lu Fangjin's camp to be Lu Fangjin's guide.

It was also a rainy day and the sky was dark. Lu Fangjin's troops were well-trained, and the camp was silent and solemn. The only clear sound in the heavy rain was the sound of armor rubbing against each other, which was cold and piercing.

The rainy season in Fenglin Mountain is very long, almost as long as half a year, just because Fenglin Mountain is so big, heavy rain in the west mountain and scorching sun in the east mountain are common.

Lu Fang received the emperor's order to send troops to Fenglin Mountain to suppress the bandits. It happened that it was raining continuously and the mountains were difficult to walk. It was impossible for a large army to enter the forest to suppress the bandits.

Fenglin Mountain is densely forested, and people can hide almost everywhere. Not only are wild animals and poisons infested, but it is also easy to get lost. Therefore, the Yuanzhou Mansion has "suppressed bandits" for several years, with little success, and can only ask for troops from the court.

Fenglin Mountain has the Dingyuan Army stationed all the year round. Originally, Lu Fangjin was asked to lead the troops here without looking far away. The Huwei Army is good at water warfare and is not familiar with mountains and forests. When Lu Fangjin received the imperial edict, he was confused. Only then did the state know that the Dingyuan Army was confronting the Qi State Army on the southwest side of Fenglin Mountain. Dingyuan Army.

Lu Fangjin was unfamiliar with the place and needed a guide, so Qi Xiao was brought here, speaking Yuanzhou dialect that made Lu Fangjin's ears hurt, and almost told Lu Fangjin to kick him out.

"Zong Sheng, it's so boring."

The rain was too heavy, hunting was impossible, and Qi Xiao was not interested in playing games like Cuju with the elders.

He wanted to play with Lu Fangjin, but on the surface, Qi Xiao and Lu Fangjin should have met for the first time in Wanqin Studio, and they were not very familiar with each other, and they had to "avoid suspicion", which made it even more boring.

In the hazy rain, someone came out from a tent not far away, and the oil-paper umbrella opened to cover his face. The portrait of the person who walked into the rain melted into a drop of ink in the landscape painting, becoming a trace of aura in that silent world, revealing an illusory fairy tale. gas.

The corners of Qi Xiao's mouth raised involuntarily, waiting for someone to approach.

Tang Ling walked up the steps and arrived under the tent, only then did Qing Lan put away the umbrella.

"How did you come?"

"I have nothing to do, so I come to play chess with you."

"Young master Tang knows that I'm not good at chess, so you're here to bully me?" Having said that, Qi Xiao lifted the curtain sideways to invite Tang Ling in.

Seeing Tang Ling, Bai Xiqiao stood up, glanced at Qi Xiao and couldn't help frowning.

The chess game was laid out, Qi Xiao took the sunspots first, and his fierce chess style was still sharp. Tang Ling played steadily as always, but he couldn't be fooled by Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao played with Heizi in his hands, hesitated for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Tang Ling: "You won't let me go again, will you?"

Tang Ling just smiled.

Qi Xiao's chess skills are good, but Tang Ling is at least [-]% to [-]% sure of winning, so she needs to put more thought into how to win.

Qi Xiao shook his head repeatedly with a bitter face: "Ah, this is so boring."

"what happened?"

"What's the matter?" Qi Xiao tossed the black stones, and snatched the white stones in Tang Ling's hand, "If you want to compete with me, do you think it's interesting?"

Tang Ling laughed: "If you let me win, it should be quite interesting."

Hearing what Tang Ling said, Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing, and stuffed Bai Zi back into Tang Ling's hand: "Okay, I'll let you go."

Qing Lan couldn't help rolling her eyes while listening to it, Qi Xiao is always shameless, he is ashamed to say that he is not good at chess, and it is his reason to lose. It's not pleasant.

But there was no displeasure on Tang Ling's face, she was clearly overjoyed, and Qing Lan was even more uncomfortable, her heart was scratching her lungs, her son was usually very indifferent, and he hated people who made jokes and played tricks the most, why did he treat Qi Xiao in all kinds of ways? , it seems that it is good for Qi Xiao to play a scoundrel no matter what?

The chess game was interrupted by a visitor in the middle, and Zong Sheng came to report: "Master, His Highness Fifth, General Lu, Young Master Qin and Young Master Lin are here."

"So many people?" Qi Xiao didn't even have time to ask who Qin Lin and the two of them were, so he got up and went to meet them in person.

It doesn't matter to the people around, the fifth prince, Qi Li, he still can't afford to neglect.

Tang Ling got up and followed.

"Why is fifth brother here? It's windy and windy outside, please come in quickly."

Qi Xiao greeted the fifth prince very affectionately, as if he were a real brother.

"See Your Highness Fifth."

Tang Ling followed closely behind and greeted the Fifth Prince first, "General Lu."

"At the end of the day, I will meet His Royal Highness Ninth Prince and have met Mr. Tang."

"See Your Highness Ninth Prince, I have met Mr. Tang."

The Fifth Prince and Lu Fangjin were followed by two people, and there were servants accompanying them, and the crowd packed the entrance of the camp to a great extent.

"Let's all avoid this false gift."

Fifth prince Qi Li waved his hand and said to Qi Xiao, "I came here uninvited, I'm afraid I will disturb the chess game between my ninth brother and Mr. Tang."

"How could it be, fifth brother, please come in.

Mr. Tang is good at chess, I am overwhelmed by my overreaching, so I just ask Fifth Brother to come and rescue me. "

The fifth prince, Qi Li, smiled, and secretly scolded Qi Xiao in his heart for trying to trick him into making a fool of himself in public. Tang Ling played chess with three of them at the same time in the chess pavilion, and they all ended in a draw, which made those Tai students lose face, and even raised their hands to make a fuss. So that everyone in the whole Yuan capital knew everyone, and he didn't have the intention to make fun of himself.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Ninth Brother, let me introduce to Ninth Brother first, Qin Zhao, Qin Muyun, the uncle of the country, and Lin Yue, Lin Wenxi, the eldest son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Curious to be a spectator."

Qi Xiao followed suit with a laugh, it turned out that he was the one who came to Tang Ling's tent and didn't find any talent.

However, if the fifth child said he was asking for advice, he might not have good intentions. Qi Xiao glanced at Tang Ling, wondering how he had provoked Qin Zhao and Lin Yue, and how could the fifth child follow him?But before that, what Qi Xiao was even more curious about was how did Lu Fangjin come?

So Qi Xiao turned to Lu Fangjin and asked: "General Lu also has research on chess?"

Lu Fang shook his head: "I came to make amends to Mr. Tang, and I happened to meet His Highness the Fifth Highness, so I came together."

Qi Xiao took a look at Tang Ling, it turned out that they were all here to look for him, and it was quite lively.

"How can General Lu make an apology?"

Lu Fangjin looked serious, not joking, and held a box in front of Tang Ling with both hands: "Before, Su Qin was escorted by our military order to escort Mr. Tang to Beijing, but he suffered many grievances and dangers for no reason. Your Majesty did not punish me. Mr. Tang was magnanimous, but Lu Fang did not dare to be perfunctory and treated him poorly, and he intentionally pleaded guilty to Mr. Tang early in the morning.

But Huaxi Bieyuan has never had a chance to thank guests, so please forgive me for disturbing you. "

On the first day of entering Yuanjing, Tang Ling's affairs in Wanqinzhai made a big fuss, and she has not been idle since then. Even the Capital Protectorate had to send people to follow her. Lu Fangjin never found a chance.

It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. It's raining today, and Lu Fangjin will come.

Lu Fang bowed his head, Tang Ling hurriedly helped her, and took the gift box over: "General Lu, please worry."

The fact that Su Qin put Tang Ling in shackles is known all over the world. Tang Ling did not mention it, not because she decided to swallow her anger, but to wait for Da Chen to give an explanation. His Majesty promised to thoroughly investigate the assassination. When the results are found, Tang Ling can make use of the topic. .

But the Ministry of Rites didn't mention it, and His Majesty didn't mention it, because he wanted to show Zhou Guo his power, and he also wanted to see how Tang Ling would do it.

Lu Fangjin came to make amends suddenly, so he shouldered the guilt alone. If Tang Ling wanted to talk about this matter in the future, it would be Lu Fangjin and Su Qin who would be punished.

Qi Xiao was watching the play from the sidelines. Lu Fang had planned this episode long ago. He kept "Chenyuan" in Su Qin's hands in the first place to embarrass Tang Ling.

Lu Fangjin fought against Tang Ling in the Taihua River for half a year. He hated Tang Ling so much that he wanted to kill him. A pair of shackles was nothing.

Qi Xiao walked with Tang Ling all the way back to Yuanjing, and he didn't think it was wrong to lock Tang Ling up with that "mortal fate" all the way, and even because of the "mortal fate" Tang Ling was able to escape from the assassin's knife by luck... and At this time, Qi Xiao suddenly frowned, silently glanced at Tang Ling's injured arm, and couldn't help sighing silently, Lu Fangjin was indeed deceiving people too much.

Tang Ling took the gift box and said nothing, she didn't say a word, she was not curious about what was in the gift box, and she made up with Lu Fang ambiguously, which made Lu Fang at a loss.

Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "The last general didn't dare to disturb the two highnesses and the three young masters Yaxing, so he took his leave."

As soon as Lu Fang left, a moment of embarrassment suddenly surged in the camp. Tang Ling handed over the gift box to Qing Lan, her face pale, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

This room is either the prince of Da Chen or the son of the family, everyone should be Tang Ling's enemy, the fifth prince Qi Li secretly regretted it, why did he come with Lu Fang?They didn't have any good intentions when they came to Tang Ling to play chess, and they had to pretend to be harmonious, but at this moment they suddenly felt guilty.

"Zong Sheng, serve tea."

Qi Xiao broke the silence with a voice, and led the Fifth Prince Qi Li to the upper seat with a smile.
