Yan Cigui.

Taohezhai.

Xu Jian is in the study.

The chessboard is placed on the table, with a chess basket on the left and right, and it is still playing against yourself.

Hearing footsteps, Xu Jian raised his eyes and looked at the person who pushed the door.

It was Lin Yunyan who came.

As she opened and closed the door, the cold wind and thin snow leaked in.

Lin Yunyan took off her snow gown, took off the chill for a while, and then sat down at the table.

Taking a hasty look at the chessboard, Lin Yunyan could only think of one word: the stars are densely covered.

Black and white interlaced vertically and horizontally.

Unless she can give her a quarter of an hour to analyze carefully, otherwise, she might not be able to see clearly who has the upper hand.

Xu Jian was holding the chess piece, while placing the chess piece, he was talking about something.

"Geng Baoyuan has already been buried. The handlebar has been in Beijing for more than half a year. He is a gambler of Geng Baoyuan. He is a bachelor. He has no mother and no wife and children. No one will report him to the government when he disappears."

"I don't know what to ask, and I owe Geng Baoyuan money, so I can do whatever I'm asked to do. I'm locked up on the mountain, and I can't run away even if I'm hungry. Let's keep it for now."

"Li Shaoying didn't know about it. I heard that there was a big fuss in the East Palace. Both Qian Hu and Liu Xun were kicked several times."

Lin Yunyan was listening, when she heard the words she raised her eyes: "You even know about the East Palace?"

Xu Jian slammed down a word, lowered her eyes, and said calmly: "You have an informant in the Compassionate Ning Palace, why can't I arrange it in the East Palace?"

Lin Yunyan stared at him.

It's two different things.

Xu Jian clearly avoided the important ones.

But after thinking about it, with Xu Jian's prudence and habit, it is reasonable to go to the East Palace to make arrangements in advance since he wants to fight against Li Shao.

Those few "loyal" ones could not move, and even showed the slightest sign, they could easily be turned against the general.

However, the humble servants, maids, and old mothers are easy to use.

Anzi buried first.

How effective is it?
Its position on the chessboard, the driving of other pieces beside it...

Big games of chess all start with humble and inconspicuous moves.

Lin Yunyan didn't ask who the informant was, but only said: "Liu Xun was kicked too? Just like Li Shao is now, can you get kicked hard?"

The current Li Shao and the future Li Shao also have many changes in stature.

As he grows older, his stature grows fast, before reaching the weak crown, he is half a head taller than his Xia family uncles in Uncle En Rong's mansion, and he looks like he will soon catch up with the tall sage.

The truth is, the growth is gratifying.

If you ask Li Shao like that to kick him, he will definitely be stronger than he is now.

Judging from Liu Xun's physique as a scholar, two bones might be broken.

"Unfortunately, I kicked him a few years earlier," Lin Yunyan muttered, and finally said, "Forget it, after a few years, Li Shao may have to continue kicking him."

If there is no opportunity, she just creates an opportunity.

Xu Jian couldn't help but laugh.

I haven't grown up myself, so I care about whether others grow up fast.

"It's not bad," Xu Jian said, "Liu Xun invited a doctor."

Lin Yunyan raised her eyebrows with a smile in her eyes.

Needless to say, the Liu family had to be careful when inviting a doctor this time.

Not only can't it be the same as before, but I can't wait to go from the Thousand Steps Corridor to the gate of the capital. Everyone knows that Liu Xun is seriously ill, and even the other way around, I have to keep my mouth tightly shut.

Dare to say that he was kicked by Li Shao?

Dare to say why he was kicked by Li Shao?

Liu Xun didn't dare to say a word, so he could only eat Coptis chinensis as a mute.

Xu Jian turned over the chess pieces in his hand repeatedly.

The little princess was in a good mood, and it was not in vain that he suppressed those teasing words.

"Liu Xun and Qian Hu went to Fa'an Temple, but they didn't gain anything, so they can only tell Li Shao that Geng Baoyuan owed a gambling debt and ran away."

"Qian Hu went to Geng's house to settle down."

"Thinking about it, after the seal is opened, Mr. Shan will not receive a report, and let him look for people all over the mountain."

Lin Yunyan knew it well.

The follow-up ending was also within her expectation.

That side will definitely send people to Fa'an Temple, and she and Jin Shu will go around the temple in the afternoon and go down the mountain together, which is the best ending.

Even if someone was suspicious, there was nothing he could do about her.

After all, she has no power to restrain a chicken.

If Jin Shu hadn't thought of going up the mountain because of his panic that day...

Lin Yunyan can also wipe things away, it's just a little more troublesome.

Can it be more troublesome than their step-by-step plotting against Li Shao?
"My aunt told someone to come to the house that Sister Ashu is in good spirits."

"The Jin family chose not to publicize it, a wise choice."

"Grandmother and father also know about this, they are very angry, and they are also very disappointed in Li Shao."

"They thought Geng Baoyuan was killed by Shen Chen."

Now, it was Xu Jian's turn to laugh.

Also.

No matter how capable and scheming the little princess is, she dared not let her grandmother and father know that it was her handwriting to seal the throat with an arrow.

It's his job to help the little princess clean up and deal with it.

Even, his quick shots and accurate timing can be praised as being timely and complete.

Teach the princess to use hidden weapons...

It is true that it is a self-defense technique, and they can distinguish between good and bad, but it is a bit scary.

After laughing, Xu Jian said again: "Geng Baoyuan, what a pity."

Geng Baoyuan is a bastard, and he has enmity with both of them.

But he could have been a useful pawn.

With such a bastard around, the evil in Li Shao's heart will be aroused even more.

Only when there are wolves and embarrassments can one be a traitor.

Get rid of all the bastards around Li Shao who are making trouble and causing trouble, so that he will lose his right-hand man who does evil, and this person will not be upright.

Li Shao cannot be saved.

Lin Yunyan understood the meaning of Xu Jian's words.

She had already had a face-to-face meeting that day, and the situation was critical, so she had no choice but to kill Geng Baoyuan.

This is certainly true.

That is, it is indeed a pity.

After thinking about it, she said, "That kick shouldn't kick Liu Xun away, right?"

Without Geng Baoyuan, there would be no less chess pieces.

Otherwise, the loss is quite large.

Xu Jian smiled lightly, and said lightly: "Liu Xun is hard to say, but don't underestimate Liu Jing."

A shortcut is at hand.

Unless the road is completely blocked and there is no hope in sight, Liu Jing will not give up.

Of course Liu Jing wouldn't be too concerned about driving Liu Xun to his death, but there was no absolute between father and son.

What will happen in the end is out of Liu Jing's control.

After the important matter was finished, Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan talked about something else.

"I looked at the mother of the He family in the morning, and she seemed to have something on her mind," Xu Jian said, "I asked her, but she was sloppy."

Lin Yunyan understood.

Although everyone has something on their minds, as usual, when Xu Jian saw that the other party didn't want to talk about it, she probably didn't ask any more questions, but it happened at this time.

In the past, why did the mother of the He family "die" and what happened before and after...

Lin Yunyan got up and went to the kitchen.

The mother of the He family sat in front of the stove, watching the fire.

Seeing Lin Yunyan coming, she hurriedly got up: "The princess and the Duke have orders, why don't you let Shen Chen come over?"

"I'm here to look for Mammy," Lin Yunyan smiled, she didn't go around in circles, and got straight to the point, "The Duke is very worried about Mammy."

The mother of the He family's smile froze on her lips, and rubbed her hands awkwardly.
