The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 222: They Are All Chess Pieces (3)
At this time, it seems that he has no room for retreat and choice——

After a little hesitation, Chu Qiyan finally walked over with a cold face.

At that time, the gate of the city was in chaos, because the distance was such that they couldn't hear what was arguing over there, but they could only vaguely tell that there was a conflict between a funeral procession and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate. At this hour, the city gate had just opened, and there were many pedestrians waiting to enter the city inside and outside. For a while, the entire city gate was very congested, and it became a mess.

Chu Xunyang watched with relish, even smiled, commenting from time to time.

Chu Qiyan's face was stern, and she sat on the chair next to her.

Lord Yanling, who has nothing to do with himself, has been drinking tea calmly. At this moment, he suddenly said casually: "Since the assassination incident on New Year's Eve was over, His Majesty has replaced all the guards at the three city gates in the name of tracking down the assassins." , the infantry yamen has been ordered to return to the inner city yamen because of poor handling of business affairs. All the city gates are under the full responsibility of the troops of the Jiucheng Bingma Division under the control of His Royal Highness. Today is such a rare and auspicious day. The field is also a icing on the cake, and it is really worth the great time calculated by the Qin Tianjian."

Chu Qiyan's complexion changed slightly, his eyes turned sharp, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, and said coldly: "Master Yanling is really in a good mood, but you can't be idle, since you came to Beijing, you really have nothing to do There is no place without you to intervene!"

"Thanks to the absurd praise of the prince, I am ashamed to accept the title!" Lord Yanling pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his words, and smiled gracefully.

"Now that the fun is over, Xunyang, if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Chu Qiyan didn't argue with him too much, and was about to get up after speaking.

Chu Xunyang turned around from the window, just passed him in front of him impartially, blocked his movement, and said with a smile: "You guys drink tea, it's rare to have such a lively event, I'll go over and have a look .”

As he spoke, he went downstairs briskly without looking back.

Chu Qiyan's gaze froze, revealing a bit of doubt——

At this time, she didn't avoid suspicion, why was she rushing to join in the fun?
What is this girl thinking?
Responding quickly, Chu Qiyan got up too.

Lord Yanling at the table had already smiled and said, "It is said that there is no turning back when you open the bow. Don't you think it is more appropriate to stay with the lower officials at this time? At least when the Dongchuang incident happens in the coming day, we can have a good relationship with each other." Witness, isn't it?"

Chu Qiyan stopped halfway up and frowned, looking at him.

Lord Yanling smiled slightly to meet his gaze, and said without hesitation: "There is no room for maneuver in this matter. If you do more and make more mistakes, your son should stay calm and not be impatient!"

In a word, it is secretive, but it carries a strong sense of warning.

Chu Qiyan looked at him, and the fingers under the sleeves were slowly clenched into fists. He was quickly weighing something in his mind. Lord Yanling had already got up and walked over, put a cup of tea in front of him, and said with a smile: "The next official cooks tea. His craftsmanship is indeed passable, you might as well give it a try!"

Chu Xunyang kept Lord Yanling here just to trip him up!

Chu Qiyan is very sure of this, but that girl seems to have seen through his intentions, and with this clue exposed, it seems that there is no room for him to refuse at this time.

After much deliberation, Chu Qiyan finally calmed down, took the tea bowl in her hand, and said coldly: "Master Yanling is very kind, but he is disrespectful. It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

Lord Yanling smiled slightly, turned around and sat back at the table.

Chu Qiyan glanced at him, then suddenly smiled and said, "Sitting is boring, Li Lin, go down and ask the shopkeeper for a chessboard."

After speaking, he turned to Lord Yanling again and asked, "Master Yanling, do you have the pleasure to play a game of chess with this son?"

"Of course!" Lord Yanling nodded, and gave him a deep look——

This man's ability to stay calm in the face of danger is really not to be underestimated.

It's almost time, Li Lin didn't know why his master suddenly had the leisure to play chess with Lord Yanling, but he was always convinced by Chu Qiyan's decision, so he obediently went down and borrowed the chessboard.

The fragrance of tea wafted in the room, and the two sat opposite each other and played chess.

One is unrestrained, with a handsome expression, and the other has a snowy face and contemptuous eyes. At first glance, it looks delicious, and it is really exquisite.

Lord Yanling's chess moves have always been casual, but Chu Qiyan is meticulous in his thinking and moves steadily with every step.

After such a completely different way of chess, neither of them dared to take it lightly, so they were evenly matched.

After falling for a few minutes, it was Lord Yanling who broke the silence first and said, "Your Majesty, you are calm and composed, it seems that you have a certainty about the outcome of this round?"

"It can't compare to Master Yanling's courage to enter the game before it even starts." Chu Qiyan replied coolly, with a mocking tone.

Lord Yanling smiled and didn't care.

Chu Qiyan rubbed a chess piece in his hand for a long time, but finally couldn't help raising his eyes to look at him, and said: "There is a sentence that I have never had the opportunity to ask you. Today, by chance, I ask you to explain my doubts in person. The situation is chaotic, it's just a messy water, I can see that you are willing to enter the game because of Chu Xunyang, but don't you think it's too risky to put all your eggs in one basket?"

"Your Majesty is already in the middle of the game, yet he came to preach to me? Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Lord Yanling asked back, raised his hand and tapped the chessboard, indicating that it was time for him to make a move.

Chu Qiyan placed the chess pieces in the positions that had been planned long ago, and said slowly, "I'm a fan of the authorities, so you, the so-called outsider, are as clear as a mirror, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

His tone suddenly turned cold, and his cross-arm stopped Lord Yanling from making a move.

The wrists of the two people touched each other, refusing to give in to each other.

The air in the room suddenly became cold, and there was a vague murderous aura boiling and scattered in all directions.

Lord Yanling lowered his eyes slightly, his thick long eyelashes concealed the true expression in his eyes, and Chu Qiyan sat opposite, but he couldn't observe the expression in his eyes thoroughly.

"Heh—" After a moment of stalemate, he heard a slight smile from the depths of his throat.

Lord Yanling raised his head slowly, met Chu Qiyan's gaze, and the smile in his eyes was as bright and unrestrained as usual, and said, "You don't have to try to find out my bottom, I have never denied that I do have a hole card, as for whether you can Whether we can find out or how much we can find out, we each rely on our own ability, this kind of play of testing and testing, it doesn't matter if we don't play it in the future!"

His expression was magnanimous, that kind of overconfident expression made Chu Qiyan's heart instantly on deep alert.

Two people, looking at each other.

The murderous aura dissipated, and the leisurely scent of tea in the elegant room returned.
