Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 111

...

Considering that staying in Qingfengzhai for a few days would be beneficial to win over Huarong, and if the encirclement by the government and army would just happen to take Huarong up the mountain, Li Yan settled down in Qingfengzhai.

By the way, because of my negligence, when Li Yan introduced Ruan Xiaoqi and others to Huarong, Wang Ying, who had been pretending to be dead, jumped into the river and escaped.

Don't bother talking.

When Li Yan arrived at Qingfeng Village, Hua Rong, his wife, and his younger sister Hua Baoyan ate a few mouthfuls. They were perfect day and night, offered wine and food, and waited on Li Yan. They arranged a bed tent that night, and invited Li Yan to rest under the back hall. The next day, a feast of food and wine was prepared.

Li Yan finally got to see Hua Baoyan's true face.

I don't know, I was shocked when I saw it, this Hua Baoyan was very similar to a later actress surnamed "Liu" that Li Yan liked very much!

Thinking about it, if Hua Baoyan wasn't pretty, would Qin Ming be so determined to work for Song Jiang?
After drinking for four or five days in a row, Hua Rong and Li Yan chatted all the gossip and all the tricks in the world, while Li Yan showed Hua Rong his extensive knowledge, which made Hua Rong not only worship Li Yan Besides, he began to admire Li Yan again.

this day.

Huarong is away on business due to business.

Without incident, Li Yan and Li Shishi played Go.

Because of the favor of the leader, Li Yanzheng has studied Go for a period of time. Although his level is not up to a professional level, he can be regarded as a leader among amateur players.

Compared with the chess skills of 900 years later, the difference between the current chess skills is not 01:30 points. This is not the wisdom of individuals, but the wisdom of the collective. The opponent of the skilled Li Yan.

Chess is something like this, if you meet your opponent, there is still some meaning. If you always win, and if you win without any challenges, then it is meaningless, not to mention that Li Yan doesn't really like playing chess.

Therefore, Li Yan was absent-minded.

Li Shishi couldn't help giving Li Yan a blank look - no one had ever been like Li Yan, who was absent-minded when she was with her, and Li Shishi couldn't help but think: "Could it be that house flowers don't have the fragrance of wild flowers?"

Chen Liqing, who liked being by Li Yan's side more and more, ran over after practicing sword for a while and said, "Guards teach me how to play chess."

There was nothing left and right, so Li Yan taught Chen Liqing how to play Go.

But I don't know if Chen Liqing's talents are all allocated to practicing martial arts. No matter how Li Yan teaches, Chen Liqing can't learn Go.

Although Chen Liqing couldn't learn it, Li Yan still took the trouble to teach her.

Finally, Chen Liqing said: "I'm too stupid, otherwise, I'd better not learn."

Li Yan said with a smile: "If you are stupid, how can you practice martial arts so well?"

Hearing Li Yan mention her most proud point, Chen Liqing swept away her previous depression, and said, "I can learn martial arts or something as soon as I learn it. I feel dizzy just looking at this black and white."

Li Yan said: "There are too many rules in Go, um... let me teach you backgammon with simple rules."

"What is backgammon?" Chen Liqing looked at Li Yan in confusion, never heard of this kind of chess...

Li Yan picked up the chess pieces one by one, and then explained the rules of backgammon to Chen Liqing.

Compared with the complicated rules of Go, the rules of backgammon are much simpler, so simple that Chen Liqing, who is not interested in black and white pieces, can quickly learn it.

Li Shishi also came over, and then learned backgammon with Chen Liqing.

What fascinates Li Shishi the most about Li Yan is that Li Yan can always make Li Shishi feel novel and surprise Li Shishi. Ever since Li Yan and Li Yan left Tokyo Bianliang, Li Shishi feels that her life has become more and more interesting, and it is no longer the same as before. She has been living a boring life over and over again, and she is really free, so free that she can do whatever she wants. Li Yan not only ignores her, but sometimes encourages her. The most fortunate thing for Li Shishi is that he left Tokyo with Li Yan. Leaving the birdcage that almost imprisoned her for the rest of her life!

Soon, Chen Liqing's heartless cheers came from the courtyard where Li Yan lived, "I won, I won", occasionally mixed with Li Shishi's chuckle, "Officer, you and I will come again!" How's the situation?"

Hua Baoyan passed by Li Yan's small courtyard, endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but look into the courtyard!
Immediately, Hua Baoyan saw Chen Liqing sitting on Li Yan's lap playing chess with Master Li, and the three of them enjoyed themselves happily.

Seeing Chen Liqing sitting in Li Yan's arms regardless of etiquette, righteousness and shame, Hua Baoyan was ashamed at first, and then a little curious: "Is it so interesting to play chess?"

Suddenly seeing Hua Baoyan looking at her at the door, Li Yan waved at Hua Baoyan and said, "Come in and have a drink."

Li Yan, a modern person, does not have the concept of male and female defense, which does not mean that Hua Baoyan, a conservative ancient woman, does not have either. What's more, the two have been very close before, and they have surpassed etiquette. It is no exaggeration to say that until now Hua Baoyan Yan didn't even get out of that incident, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the scene when Li Yan rescued her that day, how dare he meet Li Yan again?

Hua Baoyan said a million blessings, and then said: "Let's go down with the two sisters-in-law, the servant's family still has..."

At this time, Li Yan had realized what Hua Baoyan was really afraid of, so he interrupted Hua Baoyan and said, "I'm going to the backyard to practice swordsmanship, not in the front yard, you can just play."

While saying this, Li Yan patted Chen Liqing's waist lightly, motioning for Chen Liqing to get off him, then Li Yan got up and walked towards the backyard.

Seeing Li Yan went to the backyard, Hua Baoyan couldn't help hesitating!
Li Shishi walked over and took Hua Baoyan's hand, saying: "The official taught us a new kind of chess called 'Gobang', it is easy to learn, let's play one piece for a while."

Chen Liqing also said: "Yes, it's very fun, I'll teach you!"

Entertainment in ancient times was extremely scarce, especially for women who did not leave their homes.

What's more, Hua Baoyan was also very curious, what could make Chen Liqing and Li Shishi smile so happily?
In the end, Hua Baoyan still failed to overcome her own curiosity, entered the courtyard with Chen Liqing and Li Shishi, and then came to the edge of the chessboard...

……

Let’s say that because Bai Sheng was fond of gambling, He Taohe, the observer who was in charge of investigating the loss of the birthday card, got all the stolen goods, and then took him to the Jeju lobby overnight for interrogation.

At first, Bai Sheng denied it and refused to recruit Chao Gai and the other seven people.

After three or four consecutive beatings, Bai Sheng's skin was torn apart and blood gushed out. Bai Shengcai recruited Chao Gai, the Heavenly King of Tota, and the others did not know.

Here is a fair word for Bai Sheng. It is not easy for Bai Sheng to withstand three or four severe beatings, especially when the governor of Jeju and He Tao are eager to know who has robbed the birthday card. The tough man only received a severe beating before he recruited everything.

Knowing that the person who robbed the birth plan was Chao Gai Chao Baozheng from Dongxi Village, the Governor of Jizhou immediately ordered someone to take a [-]-jin death shackle, and Bai Sheng was shackled, his wife was also chained, and taken to a women's prison. The prison supervisor took it in, and then sent an official document, and sent He Tao to personally lead twenty sharp-eyed officials to Yuncheng County to arrest Chao Gai and the six unknown thieves...
