Chapter 163: Encountering a Shipwreck on the Road
It would be a waste of time to reason with Qin Xiao, so Jin Xi had no choice but to tell Qing Xing the secret code.When it was inconvenient for her, she asked Qing Xing to stay by the bed and be ready at any time.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if Qin Xiao goes crazy and breaks in, she won't be able to find the tune of crying!
Fortunately, everything was just Jin Xi's assumption, after half a month's walk, Qin Xiao hadn't tried that code once.

The farther north you go, the cooler the wind on the river, and the speedy boat that was originally riding on the rising peach blossom water in spring gradually slowed down.After Danling County, the river blocked by the towering main peak of Wudan Mountain has not completely melted away, only a waterway artificially opened in the deep water of the middle of the river.The ships coming and going are blocked on both sides of the gorge, waiting in line to cross the gorge.

"When will our boat arrive?" Jin Xi dropped the chess pieces in his hand, slightly opened the window, and looked out with his chin propped on his arm.The window was so small that the line of sight was obstructed. From her perspective, she could only see the densely packed sails on both sides of the gorge.

A cargo ship in the middle of the river was struggling to go upstream, the chant of the trackers on the shore and the chant of the sailors on board were connected together.Hundreds of people exerted all their strength to the peak, and the boat only moved slowly inch by inch.Suddenly more than a dozen arm-thick fiber ropes snapped, and the big boat tipped to the side with a muffled creak, and the river was filled with voices.

The sailors on the boat jumped into the bone-piercing river one after another, propping up bamboo poles to withstand the other side, and the merchant ships accompanying them also threw iron cables to help drag the boat, and the boat stopped slowly.Although it didn't tip over, the hull was damaged and it would be impossible to go for a while.

There are many sailboats in front and heavy sailboats behind, and the narrow river is completely blocked, let alone going forward, it is impossible to go back.

At this moment, let alone the dark blue Yunlong flag flying on their boat, even if the bright yellow Shenglong flag of Dao Zong Qinlin is flying, they will not be able to get through here.

Jin Xi looked worried, so he closed the window and lay down on the table to transfer the black chess piece in his hand.

Qin Xiao kept staring at Jiang Xin's boat with cold eyes, then glanced back at Jin Xi, who had no image at all, and sneered, "Why are you rushing back to Beijing? The wedding date of the surname Zhao is scheduled for April next year, so you can go back a little later." New Years, also catch up with the wedding wine."

Jin Xi gave him a blank look and didn't speak. Since she smashed the house in a rage that day, she confessed in front of Qin Xiao that the relationship between her and Zhao Tingxuan had ended before it even started.These days, whenever this guy appeared in front of her, he would deliberately bring up the engagement between Zhao Tingxuan and Princess Ninth and talk about it twice, stabbing her a few words.

At first she was furious and reacted fiercely, but later she didn't know whether she got used to it or accepted the reality, and when she heard Zhao Tingxuan's name, she actually felt the same as hearing Zhang San and Li Si, nothing special.

I thought I would remember the relationship forever, but now I'm starting to forget it?

"You lost two games in a row, and if you lose another game, you have to cook dinner yourself!" Jin Xi's ecstasy does not mean that Qin Xiao was in a daze with her, the white chess piece in his hand fell on the chessboard with a bang, and he smiled happily Looking at Jin Xi with a smile.

"It's not over yet, how do you know I've lost!" Thinking of the oily kitchen in the bottom cabin, Jin Xi cheered up immediately.Returning to Beijing is different from going to Anyang. At that time, the weather became warmer and the scenery on both sides of the river became better.She had a novel journey, and she didn't feel how irritable it was to sit on the boat for more than a month.

Going north in the cold spring, the colder you go, the balder you get on both sides of the river.The river is windy and there is no scenery to see, staying in the cabin every day, even if Qin Xiao doesn't drag her to play chess, she has nothing else to do.

I thought that a son of a family like Qin Xiao had a special chess master who taught him to play chess since he was a child, and he was not only a national player but also a master over the years.With the mentality of risking her life to accompany the prince, Jin Xi concentrated on playing a few games with him.You don't know if you don't know, and you know what it means to not look like a person.

This guy's chess skills are as bad as his temper!

With this understanding, Jin Xi will naturally not let go of the chance to bet.I also feel that gambling with money and silver is unreliable, this product must be a bad debt.After much deliberation, come up with the idea of ​​whoever loses will cook dinner!

I thought that with Qin Xiao's chess skills, it would be no problem to win the dinner he cooked, as long as he stopped in the kitchen, the whole life would be in her hands.She didn't expect that God would look down on her wishful thinking, since she made the bet, she actually lost to Qin Xiao every time by one or two pips.

It provoked her into a panic of hatred and anger, and every time she finished cooking and was picked on by Qin Xiao, she couldn't help but want to get it back.

There is no reason to lose so little all the time, this luck is too bad!

After playing chess for more than 20 days, my cooking skills have improved rather than chess skills.It is estimated that it is not a problem for her to arrange a banquet by herself now!

Jin Xi speaks forcefully, but has no idea in his heart.On the chessboard, Qin Jue's big dragon has become powerful, disrupting the situation of the stars gathering the moon that she managed earlier.Especially for the chess piece in the northeast corner, it takes a lot of effort to save it, and it may not be able to save it. If you don't save the whole board, you will lose your support.

Qin Xiao looked up to see her green and jade-like fingertips twirling the black chess piece, thinking about answering the robbery and trying to make up for his eyes, but he was still indecisive for a long time, and his smoky brows became more and more wrinkled.The delicate nose actually wrinkled a few tiny wrinkles because of nervousness.I couldn't help being in a good mood and laughing loudly.This idiot is so entangled in playing chess.With her stinky chess skills, even if she wants to break her head, she is not her opponent!

But this silly girl's dishes are getting more and more delicious!

Jin Xi was startled by his sudden laughter, and the chess piece in her hand fell to the board with a 'ding', which coincidentally blocked a long tendon that was still alive in her eyes.

There is no need to save it now, the entire northeast corner suddenly fell.I have to go to the oily kitchen to cook again at night!
"This game doesn't count!" Jin Xi shouted angrily, reaching out to disrupt the game.Qin Xiao grasped her wrist quickly, and said with a smile: "I would like to admit defeat, you are a majestic princess, you can't play tricks. I still want to eat that fried green bamboo shoots at night, and put chili on top, I can't spare you!"

Qin Xiao's fingers were slender and strong, and the back of Jin Xi's hand felt a little painful from the calluses on his palm.At this moment, he was thinking about Jin Xi's dissatisfaction after losing chess last time, and secretly put a few spoonfuls of chili oil in his dish, but he didn't notice that he was holding Jin Xi's hand tightly.

After being reminded by him, Jin Xi also remembered Qin Xiao's embarrassment of tearing and snot running after eating a bite of food, and couldn't help laughing.I was still thinking secretly, should I also put some chili oil in all the dishes today, and then watch him make a fool of himself, but I also didn't realize that my hand was still held by him.

Qing Xing came in with tea, and saw the two of them holding hands tightly, Jin Xi couldn't breathe from laughing, Qin Ze gritted his teeth angrily, he was saying something but he didn't notice anyone coming in.

Holding the tea, Qing Xing neither entered nor retreated, her face was burning hot, and she wondered to herself, although the girl usually has a good relationship with Qin Shizi, she never went overboard.Why are they on the boat these days, the two of them...

Mama Ai just came in with the list and asked about the menu for the evening. Seeing the two of them like this, their scalps turned cold, and three souls left two and a half in shock.I'm really afraid of something, the girl is now a princess, and she is the daughter of the uncle of the Zhou family. If she pays more attention to the queen mother this time, what kind of royal family and relatives are not worthy of her, so how can she provoke Qing? Waiting for the prince this magic star?
"Girl...the tea is here!" Taking the tea tray from Qing Xing's hand, Mama Ai stepped into it.He secretly said that he could not let the girl suffer even if he tried his best. He was firm in his mind, but he stuttered a bit when he spoke.After all, Qin Xiao has a reputation for being moody, she is just a woman in the inner house, how could she not be afraid.

Jin Xi turned her head and saw Mama Ai staring at her hand in panic, only then realized that Qin Xiao had been holding her hand, and quickly pulled it back.He obviously didn't do anything shameful, but his cheeks turned red and purple uncontrollably.

"Put it down!" Qin Xiao emptied his palms, squinted at Ai's mother, and said in a calm voice: "It's cold, tell the kitchen to make a pot at night."

Even though she was not Qin Xiao's servant, Mother Ai did not dare not to listen to his orders. She raised her head and glanced at Jin Xi, and saw that her face was blushing fiercely, but her expression was not too flustered. Shouldn't be a big deal.

Mama Ai breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly winked to indicate that Qing Xing was standing by her side, and Jin Xi must not be put at a disadvantage.

Qing Xingchu was at the door, even though Zhou Qingniu gave her winks, she pretended not to see it.On the first day of boarding the ship, the girl was smashed into the house by Qin Shizi angrily, she was afraid and didn't go in to stop her.After Ai's mother found out, she pinched her waist so that there was no good skin. It happened just a few days ago, and she didn't want to be pinched again.

Jin Xi knew what Mama Ai was afraid of, but she hadn't cared about it for a long time.She was on the same boat with Qin Xiao, a lonely man and a widow, and stayed together day and night for more than a month. What reputation did she have?

Before, she didn't realize that there was something wrong with the queen mother asking her to go back in such a hurry. Since she knew that Zhao Tingxuan was engaged to the ninth princess, she realized that there was an ulterior motive hidden here.

Regardless of the idea of ​​letting her go back to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, whoever came up with it first, Mr. Zhao Ge or Concubine Yun, the purpose was to destroy her.Rushing back to celebrate his birthday, his reputation was ruined.If you can't go back, you are resisting the decree, and your life is on the line.

There is no choice left or right because the result is the same!

Jin Xi was annoyed for a while, and felt headaches from the burning charcoal fire in the cabin, so he pushed the window open a crack.At this time, the big boat in the middle of the river was still not coming straight, and two anxious small boats tried to squeeze past the side by chance, but they got stuck between the boat and Bing Lingzi, which not only squeezed the boat even more, It also blocked the rescue space.

"When do you think this boat will be repaired?" Jin Xi frowned. This is called haste makes waste!

Qin Xiao glanced in the direction she was looking, and said with a sneer, "Let them repair it, it will take at least three to five days."

"Ah?" This was really beyond Jin Xi's expectation. After walking for more than 20 days, she only walked half of the distance. If she was delayed for a few more days, would she still be able to return to Beijing on time?
"Do you want to watch the excitement?" Qin Xiao closed the window and asked Jinxi slyly.
