The two of them played chess leisurely. Qiao Liangjin, who could not understand a single piece of chess, had already yawned five times and drank three pots of tea. Finally, the two of them finished playing.
She got up and held Qiao Liangjin's hand. She bid farewell to General Wu and said, "General, I brought my beloved wife around your garden. Would General mind?"
The mighty general waved his hand and said with a chuckle, "Your highness and wangfei are both honored and deeply honored to be under my wing!"
Qiao Liangjin lowered his chin slightly. Then, he walked towards the garden together with Qing Shui.
When he reached the lotus pond, he cleared his footsteps, lowered his head, and stared at the reflection in the water with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Liangjin was standing not far from where he was standing. He raised his head and looked at the cotton-like clouds in the sky, and then looked at the city gate tower not far away.
Qing Qing turned her body to the side and asked, "Why didn't you come with me to look at the Golden Carp?"
Qiao Liangjin slowly moved over and stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Qing. He looked at the Golden Carp swimming back and forth in the water and muttered to himself, "I wonder if I can eat it …"
It was clear that Su Chen had heard those words clearly. His lips formed a very good curve as he said with a faint smile, "Why don't we capture a few and try roasting them?"
"Huh?" Are you sure you aren't mistaken? He had heard that there was someone who could pamper his wife into the heavens, but for a living person to be so obedient, other than the Ning Seal, that was probably the only way to purge her.
Thinking of Ning Xi, Qiao Liangjin suddenly felt like he was in a hurry to leave the Prime Minister's Palace. If he didn't notify him, could he have gone looking for him?
He suddenly asked after sensing her absent-mindedness, "Are you thinking about Prince Ning?"
Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes dumbly and asked in disbelief: "How did you know?"
The corner of his mouth slightly widened. The Southern Kingdom did not have a single person capable of saving oil.
A clear palm gently brushed Qiao Liangjin's face, the warm palm touched her eyebrows, eyelashes, and the tip of her nose.
He didn't know how to answer her question. His senses told him that on that long day when they passed through the long waterway, her heart must have secretly handed to him. However, he still cared about the impression Ning Xuemo left in her heart.
In her heart, she could not lie to herself. She knew that she had always said that clearing her heart was useless and useless, but she could not help but admit that in her heart, this handsome and extraordinary man had already quietly moved into his dwelling.
"When are you returning to the capital?" Sensing that Su Chen did not want to answer his question, Qiao Liangjin changed the topic.
"I'm going back tomorrow. What about you?" He cleared his throat and replied softly.
"Ten days later, we will set out on our journey back to the city. "I am now certain that my father has long since discovered that I am no longer in the Prime Minister's Estate."
She lowered her head to look at the Golden Carp in the water and suddenly squatted down. Her hands were as fast as lightning as she dived into the water. When she stood up, a plump Golden Carp was already in her hands.
Qiao Liangjin was dumbstruck as he looked at Su Qingqing.
After clearing up, he threw the fish in his hand to a guard not too far behind him. "Go to the kitchen and cook it well. Bring it to the pavilion later."
The guard quickly carried the live and lively Carp to the kitchen.
Qiao Liangjin lightly coughed, and with a helpless tone, he said: "Next time, what would happen? I don't dare to tell you, but what would you do if I told you that a woman's blood can retain her looks?"
He cleared his long eyebrows with a serious expression on his face.
Qiao Liangjin waved his hand and said, "That is a female Count's hobby, not mine, not mine. I was just casually saying."
"So what if you like it?"
Qiao Liangjin was once again flabbergasted when he heard those words.
Did he get it wrong? He was simply looking down on human life, so it didn't matter to him.
Qiao Liangjin's entire body shivered as he recalled the smell of his own body being soaked in human blood. He then continued to wave his hands and said, "Disgusting, disgusting. I won't do that."
Su Qing suddenly pulled Qiao Liangjin's hand, held her shoulder, and smiled at the reflection in the water: "Jin'er, look at our reflection. Isn't that a good idea? "
Qiao Liangjin suddenly pulled out his hand from her grasp and jumped behind with a vigilant look on his face. "Why are you so numb today? I can't take it anymore."
Not far away, Yu Sheng, who was still basking in the sun, shuddered.
Qiao Liangjin simply sat on a flat rock by the shore, picked it up, and threw it into the pond.
Su Qing also sat beside her and said in a small voice, "I've already sent people to abduct Xiao Hu's sister-in-law and children. We've already let the news out. We can wait for tonight's internet cafe."
Joy flashed across Qiao Liangjin's eyes as he nodded his head.
She knew that it was inconvenient for her to speak here. Even if her voice were a bit louder, it might just be heard by others.
Clearing his eyes with a smile, he continued to speak in a low voice, "Tonight, you and I will guard here. How about it?"
Today, there was an extra dish in General Wu's mansion, the Red Braised Carp.
It made General Wu's heart ache for a long time. He had spent a lot of effort to find this best golden carp from the Southern Kingdom. In the end, it had become a delicacy within the stomach of this woman before him, causing his heart to ache.
Qiao Liangjin shook his head and sighed as he ate the Golden Carp. Indeed, the food in the pond was not as delicious as that of the wild. The earthy smell was too strong.
So what if Qiao Liangjin eats it? He even commented on it: "Today, this golden carp in the General's Estate is truly horrible. To be honest, I don't want to eat it anymore. "General, get me some water, the fish from the water is delicious."
The corner of General Wei's eyes twitched, but he pretended to be magnanimous as he said, "Alright, alright, alright. Miss Qiao's words are correct."
Qing Shui quietly picked up another plate of fish and placed it on her plate. He said softly, "This is a fish from the living water. I instructed the kitchen to make another one. You can try it."
Qiao Liangjin also raised his chopsticks naturally and began to eat.
As the two ate, they commented on the chef's cooking skills.
The mighty general suddenly felt that he was unnecessary, but this was his own mansion, why did he have to go there?
Seeing that General Wei had not used his chopsticks, he raised his head and smiled. "What's wrong, is the general full?"
The mighty general immediately raised his glass and explained, "I am old and can't eat much anymore. "I'll have to ask the Seventh Marquis and Seventh Princess to continue eating. I'll go to the study to practice my writing first."
He finished the cup in one gulp, cupped his hands, and left the pavilion.
Qiao Liangjin looked at the valiant general's back and softly asked: "Which segment will he take?"
Qing Qing stuffed the fish into Qiao Liangjin's mouth and said with a smile, "I would also like to know that. I'll probably know it all by tonight."
Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and unknowingly opened his mouth, accepting the clean food.
Suddenly realizing that something was not right, the smile on her face that had been cleared was so warm that it was almost melting, she hurriedly waved her hands and raised her chopsticks to dance.
She didn't know what to feel even after eating the entire meal, but she had been anxiously waiting for the truth to come out.
After dinner, he leisurely fed the beef jerky that Yu Sheng had prepared. Soon, he felt bored and insisted on pulling Qiao Liangjin along to teach her chess.
Qiao Liangjin was absent-minded as he played two rounds of chess. He lost miserably and in his rage, he almost threw the chess board to the ground. However, he saw Su Chen smiling as he said: "Pay attention to your attitude and attitude."
Qiao Liangjin was not angry, instead, he smiled. He crooked his finger, and moved his head close to Su Moyu's ear, whispering: "How about we play a game where you take a big risk?"
Su Qingyun cleared his eyebrows and smiled, "Tell me, how do you want to play?"
Slashing your fist, whoever loses will have to listen to them. Honest words are what others ask you, and you have to answer them truthfully.
Su Qing slightly nodded her head and said, "Let's swing our fists then."
Qiao Liangjin immediately rolled up his sleeves, shook his fist and laughed: "Come on, I'll let you tell me all your little secrets."
Su Qing also rolled up his sleeves and smiled. "How do you plan on slashing your fist?"
"…"
"What's wrong? Look at your expression... It can't be that you don't know either, right? " The smile on his face deepened.
Qiao Liangjin laughed dryly, "Hur Hur, then we can cut stone cloth."
Her clear brows and eyes were all smiling as she nodded. "Alright."
Qiao Liangjin then stretched out his hand and told him what scissors were, what stones were, what cloth was, and which kind of paper was a 'gram'.
He cleared his mind and only said it once before he understood what it meant.
"Rock scissor cloth, ha, I won. Again, two losses in three rounds, you have to listen to me."
"Alright."
"Haha, I've won again. Then, let me ask you. How high are your martial arts skills?"
"It's so-so. Protecting you is enough."
"..." It's like there's no answer. "
"But that's my answer."
"Forget it, come again."
"..."
They had won the second round.
Su Qingqing's smile was still as relaxed as it was before, and she waved her scissors towards Qiao Liangjin.
Qiao Liangjin touched the tip of his nose and pouted as he said: "I'm willing to admit defeat, I lost. Ask away."
Su Yun was about to speak, but he suddenly stood up and pulled Qiao Lianjin away, rushing out of the pavilion.
Qiao Liangjin knew that Xiao Hu must be here to seek revenge, so he took the opportunity to grab her hand.
After flying past the small courtyard wall, in the next second, he was standing in front of Lee Yanyi's door.
Qiao Liangjin looked at Qing Shui silently. Qing Qing then gently pushed open the door to Li's room.
A black shadow was standing beside the bed with his back facing the door, holding a shiny dagger in his hand.
With just a wave of his sleeve, the candle on the table lit up.
The black shadow suddenly turned around, and without thinking, it chopped forward with its blade.
Qiao Liangjin was holding the chess piece he had used when he was playing chess. He swung his hand, and the chess piece struck the forehead of the black shadow with lightning speed. Blood splashed everywhere as the black shadow's head fell heavily to the ground.
Qiao Liangjin's foot landed on the hand of the black shadow that was holding the dagger. After a few heavy crushing sounds, the hand could no longer bear the pain and released the dagger. She then followed up by kicking the dagger away.
He cleared the black figure's collar that had collapsed on the ground and gently lifted it up. His long eyebrows furrowed as he said, "Xiao Hu."
