Gusu snow

Qianqiu followed Yun Shen, taking half a step behind him, while secretly looking at Yun Shen with his head down.

I saw that there was a spring breeze between his eyebrows and eyes, his face was like a flawless crown jade, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He is more like a scholar who is modest, polite and calm and refined, which makes people feel close to him involuntarily.

Qian Qiu bit her lower lip, her heart beating a little fast.He was thinking about whether Yun Shen had seen through his intention just now.

Probably not, Qianqiu comforted.I don't know when it started, he especially dislikes people who have too close contact with Yunshen. Sometimes when people who come to visit talk with Yunshen over a few cups of tea, his heart will start to have mixed feelings, and he can't wait to use the already born Beautiful eyes put people to death one after another.

At first, this strong feeling was defined by Qianqiu as brotherhood, but until the winter nights a few years ago, he made a mistake and deserved to be punished to kneel on the snow.

Originally, it was just an ordinary kneeling punishment, but it was in winter.He had suffered from the root of the disease in the previous winter, and he couldn't stand the cold, let alone this punishment.

And Yun Shen never condoned Qianqiu's mistakes, and basically never pleaded for Qianqiu's mercy.That's why when he saw Yun Shen taking all the responsibility on himself, kneeling on the snowy ground for him without fear or regret, he came to his senses.

It's just that breaking the sleeves and dividing the peaches, in today's world, is still contrary to the principles of ethics.

What's more, he is the son of a general in the current dynasty, and he is a talented person admired by scholars all over the world.

The three sat down, but Zhu Jiang came out from the side and put on the chessboard.

Qianqiu took a deep breath.

When Zhu Jiang retreated, he always felt a look of strong resentment staring at his back.

He really wanted to turn around and go back to find out, but Yun Shen and Qi Beisheng were already sitting at opposite ends of the chessboard, so it was inconvenient to disturb them.

Qianqiu is not good at chess, but he can usually play a few games with Yun Shen. Now he saw that his position was occupied by someone else, so he was so angry that he had to stand beside Yun Shen and pretend to watch the chess while staring at Qi Beisheng. .

Qi Beisheng's chess skill is slightly inferior to Yun Shen's. Although he is the first player, but with such a gaze, it is difficult to survive more than a dozen moves even if he is handicapped.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead during the break, looked up complicatedly at Qian Qiu, who glared at him fiercely without avoiding it.

Qi Beisheng couldn't figure it out.

On the contrary, Yun Shen was not affected in any way, he still played the chess leisurely, and deliberately gave way to Qi Beisheng, allowing this game to last.So much so that Qi Beisheng couldn't concentrate later, he threw himself in and said, "You won..."

While laying out the chessboard, Yun Shen smiled modestly and said, "Victory is not martial."

The second game of chess was played for an hour, and the dense chess pieces almost covered the entire chessboard. Yun Shen held the chess and calmly dropped it, sealing the last way out for Heizi.

Qi Beisheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I've been taught..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sleeping Qianqiu suddenly woke up and looked around in confusion.

Yun Shen calmly moved his numb shoulders pressed by his head, and smiled softly, "Qianqiu is awake?"

Qianqiu said in a daze, "Hmm..."

That is not awake.Yun Shen stood up clearly, and then moved his shoulders that were numb by Qianqiu.

Qi Beisheng looked out the window and said unintentionally: "It's almost time for lunch."

Qian Qiu woke up abruptly, and said vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"

Qi Beisheng: "..."

"We won't keep you for dinner!"

"I finally found out..." Qi Beisheng said sadly, "You don't have a lot of opinions on me, but you are very specific. Why, are you afraid that I will take away your Yunshen?"

His words were purely unintentional ridicule, but Qianqiu's ears had a different taste, and when he was about to cover up his guilt with a roar, Yun Shen had already spoken first: "Second prince, why don't you come back after lunch?" Waiting for sister-in-law."

The intention of seeing off the guests was very obvious, Qianqiu's furious roar that was about to blurt out turned into a huff that he had to hold back with difficulty.

Qi Beisheng coughed dryly: "This prince thinks that Yunfu's hospitality should not be bad."

Yun Shen smiled unchanged: "You're not going fast."

"Uh..." Qi Beisheng gritted his teeth and stared at Qianqiu, who was so gloating that he was so happy: "I didn't expect Yun Hanzhi, the number one talent in the capital, to be so unreasonable."

Yun Shen said: "Now my father and mother are both in the capital city of Gusu, so it's very inconvenient."

Qi Beisheng thought he didn't have a thick skin, bowed and said goodbye, then turned around and suddenly remembered something: "I'll come back after lunch."

Qian Qiu's complexion is not good: "Yun Mansion closes its doors and sees no visitors in the afternoon."

Yun Shen said: "Second Prince, do as you please, Yun Shen Yufu is waiting."

Qianqiu stared at Yun Shen with rare grievance.

Qi Beisheng took pleasure in other people's misfortune, but fortunately the royal dignity was still there, so he held back the burst of laughter, pretending to be calm and said: "Please also tell Xiuxiu that I have come to look for her."

As soon as Qi Beisheng walked away, Yun Shen turned around on his back, and met Qianqiu's still angry eyes with a smile.

That smile was too gentle, Qianqiu's anger disappeared without a trace in an instant, and at the same time, a sense of guilt quickly rose in his heart.

Yun Shen's eyes were gentle and smiling, he looked at Qian Qiu and said, "Qian Qiu doesn't like me being friends with him?"

Qian Qiu was afraid that he would say something shocking without restraint, so he just shook his head and didn't answer.Yun Shen smiled slowly and said, "Are you afraid that I will make friends with him and ignore you?"

Don't tell me it won't work.Qian Qiu jumped up and stammered: "No, it's not..."

However, the corners of Yun Shen's mouth turned up: "It's okay, he is a member of the royal family after all, so there is no taboo to come and go. I treat him as usual. Although he is not fast, he is still a guest. Don't lose Yun Shen. Mansion demeanor. And you, it's different."

His words stunned Qian Qiu, and he walked away without waiting for Qian Qiu's answer.

But Qian Qiu was still in a daze, replaying Yun Shen's last words over and over again in his mind.

no the same?What's the difference?Thinking of his own thoughts, Qianqiu became nervous for a while, afraid that he would reveal some emotions that he should not reveal.

Anxious Qianqiu trotted to keep up with Yunshen: "How am I different?"

Yun Shen said: "You are from the Yunfu."

After getting the answer, Qianqiu felt relieved, but there was a flash of disappointment, and said: "Actually, you don't need to explain it to me, I understand."

Yun Shen stopped, looked back at him, and said with a smile: "I see that you endured really hard."

Qianqiu: "..."

In the afternoon, Qi Beisheng did not break his promise and came early.And Qian Qiu also didn't give him a good face, but he restrained himself a little.

But Yunxiu still didn't come back.

After eating lunch, Yun Shen rested in the bedroom, leaving Qian Qiu and Zhu Jiang to do the rest.

Zhu Jiang dutifully arranged a guest room for Qi Beisheng and left, leaving only Qianqiu and Qi Beisheng staring at each other.

Qi Beisheng coughed dryly and said, "How are you doing?"

"See if you are suitable to marry my sister."

Qi Beisheng's mouth twitched: "Can't you think of something better?"

"No." Qianqiu said firmly.

Qi Beisheng straightened his posture: "Seriously, why are you so hostile to me?"

Qian Qiu stared blankly, snorted and left angrily.

Leaving Qi Beisheng confused, Zhu Jiang came in to deliver tea and asked, "What's wrong with your young master?"

Zhu Jiangxi took it for granted and said indifferently: "The second prince has come to Yunfu to look for my young master too frequently recently. My young master has eaten and lived with the young master since he was a child. Naturally, he doesn't like other people to get too close to the young master."

Qi Beisheng expressed his feelings in every possible way: "Including this time, I came here three times in total, how can it be considered frequent?"

Zhu Jiang was about to answer, when he saw a shadow from the corner of his eye, he turned his head to Qi Beisheng and said, "My lord is up, Second Prince, please go to the hall."

Qi Beisheng nodded, and Zhu Jiang led the way.

Qi Beisheng casually shuttled back and forth in the corridor, and the scene of Yun Shen playing chess with him in the morning repeatedly appeared in his mind.

Yun Shen plays chess like a human being, gentle and gentle, he hesitates to retreat at every step.Once the opponent reveals a little flaw, he can turn things around, step by step fiercely, and never turn the tide.

The reason why he put down his identity and said "teachable" is because Yun Shen also told him with chess that it was dangerous for him to go this way.

But who in the world doesn't covet the throne?

While thinking back and forth, the lobby has arrived.

Yun Shen stood up and saluted, Qi Beisheng returned the salute, and Qian Qiu stood aside indifferently.

The few people just took their seats when they heard Zhu Jiang say outside: "Young master, young master, Ms. Mu from the Mu family is here!"

Several people had to go out again, Qi Beisheng was obviously a little excited, probably thinking about Yunxiu.

The young lady of the Mu family, Mu Pingting, is also well-known in the capital. She is proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

When he opened the door, he saw Mu Pingting and his servants, but did not see Yunxiu.

Mu Pingting was a little shy, and saluted: "Second prince, brother Yunshen, brother Qianqiu."

"Miss Mu." Several people saluted.

Qianqiu looked at Mu Pingting's eyes that had been glued to Yun Shen, and immediately felt uncomfortable, because she didn't want to be rude in front of her daughter's house, so she retreated to Yun Shen and didn't speak.

Yun Shen said gently, "Miss Mu, please come in."

Mu Pingting blushed, waved her hands again and again and said, "No, no, I, I came here to find Xiuxiu..."

As she said that, she took out an invitation card and handed it to Yun Shen: "In a few days, I would like to invite your father Lingtang to visit the residence with his two elder brothers and Xiuxiu."

Qianqiu frowned: "Miss Mu came to look for Xiuxiu? But isn't Xiuxiu in Mu's residence?"

Mu Pingting was startled, then shook her head and said, "Xiuxiu already left Mu's residence last night."

Qi Beisheng's heart skipped a beat, his face changed slightly, and he asked anxiously, "Where did Xiuxiu go?"

Mu Pingting's face turned pale, obviously aware of something, and she hurriedly said: "Last night I wanted to keep Xiuxiu to rest at the mansion, but Xiuxiu insisted on going back, and don't let anyone see her off... Could it be on the way What happened?"

Qian Qiu raised his eyebrows anxiously, and was about to say something, but Yun Shen frowned and said to Zhu Jiang: "Send someone to the capital immediately to inform father, keep quiet."

Qian Qiu said anxiously: "I'll go find it now! Zhu Jiang, if you go again, ask a few more servants to go with you!" Qi Beisheng quickly agreed.

Yun Shen said, "Don't disturb the others."

The two turned and ran.In just a few words, Yun Shen's mind was already full of thoughts.

Yunxiu is the daughter of the General's Mansion of Yunfu in Lin'an, and everyone in Lin'an City knows everyone, not to mention that Yunxiu has practiced martial arts since childhood, and ordinary people are no match for her at all.Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid it's not as simple as disappearance or kidnapping.

It should be... deliberate...

Yun Shen frowned.During the Lin'an Peach Blossom Festival in the past few days, many outsiders came to Lin'an City, among them were rich children and dignitaries from the imperial court in the capital.

So, what is the intention?
