After eating, the family sat in the main hall and chatted for a while. Mrs. Lin always had the habit of taking a nap. After sitting with them for a while, she got up and went to the bedroom. However, Lin Haisheng wanted to play chess with Xiao Chengyu again. Losing three games in a row is a bit embarrassing. If you don't win a game with this son-in-law, wouldn't it be a loss of face?

"You won't let daddy play a game? Why do you play so carefully." Sitting beside Xiao Chengyu, Lin Xueman knew that Lin Haisheng had lost the game, and was unwilling to do so. Seeing that Lin Haisheng had already got up and walked towards the chess table, she said in a low voice, " We still have to go to Bingzhou!"

She knew that the two of them couldn't talk, since they couldn't talk, just leave quickly, what else is there to play?

"Playing chess is based on real skills, how can there be any reason to give way?" Xiao Chengyu put down his teacup, looked at her, and said seriously, "I don't have the time to play with your father, I just want to kill his vigor, you wait , it won’t be too late to leave after my husband wins three more games.”

Said, walking towards the tea room.

"You are really..." Lin Xueman couldn't help feeling a little anxious when he saw the two sitting down and starting to fight again.

Lin Xueyi smiled and said, "Sister, they've got theirs, let's go back to the house, stay for one night, and leave tomorrow!"

At this time, a guard came to report that it was Miss Ali who came!

"Ali? Why is she here?" Lin Xueyi muttered.

"Please." Lin Xueman said happily, and walked out with ease.

The sun was just right outside, even a little dazzling, very clear, the flowers in the yard had already bloomed, a gust of wind blew by, and there was a faint fragrance around me.

"Ma'am." Ali saw Lin Xueman.Carrying a bundle, she ran over from afar, and said happily, "I heard that Madam is back, so Ah Li hurried over." Saying this, she hurriedly took the child from her hand.

"I just wanted someone to find you, but you just came." Lin Xueman handed the child to her, rubbed her sore arms, since she left the house.She felt that she was a little nervous, and she didn't dare to let the child out of her sight for a moment, as if the child would disappear if she turned around.

Lin Xueyi saw that the master and servant were chatting happily, so she turned around and went back to the house, this Ali is clumsy.It's better to change to a smarter one.

"The servant is waiting for news from Madam day and night at home!" The two walked slowly in the yard, A Li smiled, "My mother said that I should follow Madam well and do my best to help Madam take care of the child."

"Ali. Thank you for being willing to follow me, just this time. We are going to Bingzhou, we can't stay in Yuzhou, and we may leave tomorrow!" Lin Xueman looked at her with crooked eyes, "You must know Bingzhou, I heard that It’s far less prosperous than Yuzhou, and it’s a remote place.”

"Madam is going to Bingzhou?" A Li's tone was filled with surprise, "My maidservant's grandmother's home is Bingzhou. When I was young, my maidservant's family often went to Bingzhou. Although Bingzhou is remote, the folk customs are simple and the people there are easy to get along with, let alone Bingzhou. Even in the ends of the earth, slaves and servants are willing to follow wholeheartedly."

"If you say that, I'm so happy!" Lin Xueman smiled, "I'm not familiar with the place where I live, so if you go, you will be my guide."

"Of course." Ali replied.

Lin Xueman smiled, but now she had something on her mind, and took Ah Li around the yard for a while, then returned to the main hall, saw Weng and his son-in-law were still playing chess, so she stepped forward, looked at them, and said: " Dad, it's getting late, Cheng Yu and I should go!"

"I'm not busy. It's not too late to leave tomorrow. It's rare for our family to get together. What's the rush? Cheng Yu and I will meet good opponents in chess. Let's kill a few games." Lin Haisheng stared at the chessboard intently and said without raising his head.

"My son-in-law is willing to accompany you." Xiao Chengyu raised his head, looked at Lin Xueman, then at the chessboard, with a smile on his lips, and said, "Don't worry, let's go later, why don't you all come and watch us play chess , so you won’t be bored in the house.”

Lin Xueman glanced at him and had no choice but to back out. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard Lin Haisheng say, lose, lose.

"Father-in-law accepts it." Xiao Chengyu said calmly.

Lin Xueman shook her head, dumbfounded.

Lin Xueyi jumped in, leaned against Lin Haisheng, looked at the chessboard, and shouted, "Father still plays chess in the old way, it's no wonder if you don't lose! Change it, this one, go here!"

"Watching chess without saying a word is a real gentleman, why are you so ignorant of the rules!" Lin Haisheng scolded, frowning, "I'm not afraid of your brother-in-law's jokes!"

"I'm not a gentleman, am I! Brother-in-law." Lin Xueyi looked at Xiao Chengyu, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm just a little girl!"

Xiao Chengyu smiled without saying a word.

The sun shines in softly through the window lattice, and there is a breath of spring in the quiet tea room.

"The weather is getting warmer, and Princess Nalan's health will naturally get better." Lin Haisheng took a move and said calmly, "The emperor does not have many adult heirs, so he naturally loves the only adult princess. Plus, as long as you have power, you don't have to think too much about other things, and Xueman, I will talk to her carefully, don't miss the opportunity for a name!"

Xiao Chengyu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Father, do you want your brother-in-law to marry the Princess Nalan?" Lin Xueyi said dissatisfiedly, "You all know about being promoted, have you considered my sister's feelings? You are still my own father!"

"Presumptuous, I'm talking to your brother-in-law here, you don't have the right to talk, why don't you get out of here quickly." Lin Haisheng said angrily, "There are more and more no rules. From today on, you have to shut yourself up at home and think about your mistakes. Not allowed to go anywhere."

Lin Xueyi stomped her feet angrily and ran out.

"Father-in-law calm down, I've accepted it!" Xiao Chengyu smiled lightly, thinking to himself, daughter-in-law, you only have fame and wealth in your heart, and you really don't have much affection for you!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and bowed, "I'll come to see my father-in-law to play chess some other day, but I'm on official business, so I really don't dare to delay, so I'll leave here."

"Alright." Lin Haisheng also got up and said, "I'll send a few people to see you off. Although the road is difficult, it's not very far from Yuzhou, and it's only about two hours away!"

"Thank you, father-in-law."

When the carriage left Yuzhou, the sun gradually turned westward, and the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and there were some bumps from time to time. The mountain road was indeed rough and difficult.

Lin Xueman lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. As expected, the road became more and more desolate. There were not many people on the way. The surrounding area was surrounded by rolling low hills. There were a few families scattered on the hills. Occasionally, the sound of rooster crowing could be heard from afar. I feel even more desolate on those hillsides, there are one or two small roads, twisting and winding among the mountains, and the smoke from the cooking has already risen up, and the light smoke is straight up, a picture of a desolate pastoral.

Xiao Chengyu, who was riding a horse slowly, saw Lin Xueman raised the curtains, so he rode his horse to the window and said, "After passing this mountain, there is a town. Let's stay there for one night and go to the government office tomorrow."

"You didn't listen to me when I told you to leave early, look, it's getting dark!" Lin Xueman scolded, she was away from home and had children, so it was natural to rush early rather than late, even though it was March, it was still a bit chilly at night.

"If you leave early, you have to stay in a hotel. Do you think that the government office in Bingzhou is like Yuzhou, and you can live there?" Xiao Chengyu smiled, "I went to that government office a few years ago. It was dilapidated and not cleaned up. Now, how do you live?"

"Ma'am, what your lord said is right, that's what the government office there is like." A Li whispered beside her, "We have to tidy up before we can live in."

There is a mouthful in front, and the strange rocks on the hillsides on both sides seem to collapse at any time, which makes people feel a little shocking.

"My lord, this is already the boundary of Bingzhou. After passing this awkward mouth, go a little further and you will see people!" A few guards behind him immediately said, "The subordinates will send you a little further, and then go back. Already!"

"Thank you, everyone." Xiao Chengyu cupped his hands and said.

As soon as the words fell, the horses raised their hooves and neighed. A dozen masked men in black stood in the middle of the road as if they had descended from the sky. A frightening light.

"Ma'am." Ali glanced out, leaned against Lin Xueman in panic, and said tremblingly, "Someone is robbing the road!"

Lin Xueman's expression changed when she heard the words, and she hurriedly picked up the child who was sleeping on the couch, and hugged her tightly in her arms. Fortunately, she didn't put those bank notes in her bag, but hid them in the child's quilt ....

"Sensible, leave money, we don't want to hurt people's lives." The leader said with a sneer, "If you want to cross the border of Bingzhou, even the wild geese flying in the sky have to leave a feather."

"Aren't you afraid that the government will investigate you if you block the road and rob?" Xiao Chengyu asked coldly, listening to the accent, these people are locals, just some gangsters who don't do their jobs properly.

"Government? Haha, he said government?" The leader looked at the others and laughed loudly, "We Bingzhou people are not afraid of the government. If you have life, go to the government. There is nothing but a sour and old man there." My master, where is there any other adults, the magistrate resigned a few days ago because of illness, you want to sue the officials? I think you are impatient!"

The other men in black also laughed.

"I think you are impatient to live. Do you know who he is? He is..." the guard behind him slammed his horse and whipped his whip.

"What are you talking to them about?" Xiao Chengyu hurriedly interrupted the man, rushed up first, kicked the knife of the man in front of him, held it firmly in his hand, and said loudly, "These people won't give them some Look at the color, and you don’t know what it means to live impatiently!”

The people behind also hurriedly rushed up, and the two sides immediately became one.

The groom who was driving the carriage took the opportunity to bypass the crowd and passed the difficult entrance. A man in black caught up with him, kicked the groom out of the carriage, and drove the carriage forward.

Seeing the groom fall to the ground in response, Lin Xueman and Ali screamed in fright. She lifted the curtain of the car and shouted behind her in panic, "Cheng Yu, come and save us."

"Stop screaming, believe it or not, I will kill you at any time." The man in black roared in a rough voice while driving the carriage. If you hand over the money, I will let you get off."
