Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 94
Zhou Xiang was curled up on the wooden bed in the house at the moment, staring at the white moon outside the window in a daze, frowning and thinking again and again, without even guessing where Su Jiu went that night.

Thinking that she would have the same thoughts as him, she ran to the army to look for Nie Wuhuan.But he didn't want to, he turned around, but there was no sign of Su Jiu.Nie Wuhuan couldn't get away because of urgent matters in the imperial city, so he sent people to bring Zhou Xiang and Xiaoshan into the imperial city overnight, but he was at a loss when he asked about it.They sent people everywhere to inquire, but who knows, Su Jiu just disappeared out of thin air, where could she go?
"Dong dong dong!" Xiao Shan knocked on Zhou Xiang's door.

Zhou Xiang lazily turned over, got up and went to open the door, and saw Xiao Shan standing at his door with something in his arms, "Xiao Shan?"

"Brother Zhou, I'm here to play chess with you."

"Hey, why would you want to play chess like this? Miss Su hasn't heard anything yet." Zhou Xiang's expression was hopeless, and he felt so guilty that he couldn't help him. He couldn't sleep at night, sleep well, or eat. taste.

"Brother Zhou, I know you are worried about my sister. I am more worried than all of you, but now I can only wait for the news. Brother Zhou doesn't need to blame himself."

"How can you not blame yourself? In the final analysis, you also happened to go to my place that day. It must have something to do with Su Jiu leaving home. You said, why didn't she say where she went when she left home? Woolen cloth?!"

"My sister is used to being erratic, and no one can find her, hehe..." Xiao Shan held the chess pieces on the chessboard and enlightened Zhou Xiang pretending to be a joke.

"Hey..." Zhou Xiang leaned against the door and shook his head weakly.

"Brother Zhou, won't you let me in?" Xiao Shan tiptoed into the house.

Zhou Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Look at me, fast forward, fast forward, hey...I've been a little distracted recently, and I've lost my mind on many things."

"Hey, Big Brother Zhou is so worried about my sister. My sister must be very touched when she finds out."

"Xiaoshan is still in the mood to joke now, sit down, and I'll make tea for you."

"No, Brother Zhou, I came to you just to pass the time. I don't have the time and mood to go out for a walk when I come to the imperial city. I'm bored in the palace all day long, especially I don't want to cause trouble for the prince, so... I know you It's hard like me, but ah, you still have to relax, let's play chess!"

"Okay!" Zhou Xiang put down the teapot and sat down weakly.

The chessboard was found by Xiaoshan from the palace. Although it looks a little small, the texture of the chessboard is very good, and the ivory is polished and pieced together. The elegant texture seems to be a red koi fish swimming at the bottom of the river, as if it is alive.

Xiao Shan looked down at the chessboard, and couldn't help frowning. The falling force was much smaller, for fear of breaking the chessboard.

When Baizi fell, Heizi was not in a hurry.Arranged among them, it is even more organized and orderly, and the two sides confront each other, but it is a game of draw.

Xiao Shan couldn't help curling his lips, "Brother Zhou, you let me on purpose."

Zhou Xiang shook his head, "It's because you are very talented. You have read all the chess records? You are much better at chess than before, and I can't match it."

"Well, I have read all the books Brother Zhou lent me, especially the chess book. I have studied it specially, and it is more exciting than those military books."

"That's natural, it's my father's treasure, hehe..." Zhou Xiang smiled mysteriously, remembering that he would snatch that chess book when he was a child, and was beaten up by General Zhou because of it, but he still couldn't. Stop him from playing chess.The son of the family went out to find a woman and was happy and happy, but he held the chess record all day long and didn't let go.

General Zhou worked hard for this matter and ordered Zhou Xiang not to go out, but he didn't stop him.Afterwards, he held onto the chessboard and learned how to dispatch troops. The splendor on the small chessboard was several times more exciting than the myriad worlds. Later, because old General Zhou always said that he was talking on paper and could not become a big weapon, he would not be able to become a big player. Even Zhou Xiang was not an official in the court, and the old general Zhou didn't like him to read around with books, and they were abandoned after many years.

Zhou Xiang recalled the trifles of the year, while making moves, after rounds, he found that he had been won by Xiao Shan. He shook his head helplessly, "Xiao Shan is still strong. This trick is difficult and dangerous, but it is also the key to turning defeat into victory. It's amazing." !"

"Hey..." Xiao Shan blushed when Zhou Xiang praised him, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother Zhou, if you praise me like that again, I won't be able to play chess with you."

"Hey? Why be modest, Xiaoshan is smart, he can understand everything, I admire you."

"Hey..." Xiao Shan continued to giggle.

"Hey! Lost again." Zhou Xiang tossed Heizi away, and leaned on the back of the chair helplessly, adding to his annoyance.

"Brother Zhou, let's not go down, let's talk with you."

"It should be you who should be the most uncomfortable about this matter, but you are the one who enlightened us everywhere. I am ashamed to say that the Zhou family has fallen, and I have very few relationships in the imperial city. My father is stubborn. Over the years My friends don't keep in touch with each other, otherwise I can't just wait here. I can't help you, so I can only wait here, which is really torture. Tell me, where will Miss Su go? Why did she leave that day? Could it be that the members of the Liu family went to cause trouble again? But the Liu family has been relocated for many days, could it be threatened by the barbarians? Alas..." Zhou Xiang sighed several times, and Xiao Shan's heart sank when he heard it.

"Brother Zhou, I guess my sister went to the Northern Dynasty, and she may have heard about Xiao Gong. My father said that he found out that I was kidnapped by a few men from the Northern Dynasty, so he went back and said, maybe my sister just went there. Beichao is looking for me. I left at night not because I ran away, but rather because I didn’t want my parents to worry about going out to look for me alone. My elder sister is most concerned about my achievement in the exam. Maybe she thinks that the time is coming and she doesn’t want to delay it. Said Come, also because of me."

"The Northern Dynasty is far away from the frontier fortress. Needless to say, how can she survive even if she passes through the frontier fortress?! Hey, why didn't the prince's people find any clues in the frontier fortress?"

"Because the prince was so busy with the barbarians in the past few days, he didn't care about so much. The deputy general temporarily removed the manpower of the frontier, so the interrogation was slack in those few days, and the veterans were guarding them, and everyone was together. It's just a coincidence that no one pays attention to drinking and chatting."

"Hey!" Zhou Xiang sighed again, "It's been so many days, how can Miss Su live alone?" Zhou Xiang continued to sigh.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou, my sister is very powerful, she usually bullies me at home, hehe, she won't be bullied when she goes out."

"Your sister..." Zhou Xiang hesitated to speak. Su Jiu has a hot personality, is straightforward, and doesn't know how to look at people's faces, especially if he has a straightforward personality. There are many villains with ulterior motives.

Running away from a girl's house alone, the consequences... are hard to imagine.

"Brother Zhou, you are so kind to my sister. I am happy for my sister to have a friend like Brother Zhou."

"Friend..." Zhou Xiang silently read these two words in his heart.

"Brother Zhou, let's play chess! Hehe... I just became interested. I used to be superficial, and I didn't have the opportunity to find someone to learn from. Now that I have someone to accompany me, I'm a little addicted." Seeing Zhou Xiang's mind, Xiaoshan, Deliberately shifting his attention, he did not forget to put away the chess pieces and push them towards Zhou Xiang.

Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Forget it, I'll play chess with you tonight."

Playing chess at night is the most nerve-wracking thing, especially since Zhou Xiang has not touched this thing for many years, he has long forgotten all the tricks and strategies in his mind, and because he has no sleep at night, eats little dinner, and even the tea is cold, He looked at the chess pieces in front of him, which looked dizzy and out of shape, and he didn't know where the fallen pieces were placed.

Xiao Shan enjoyed it, pointing Zhou Xiang where to put that one from time to time, after several twists and turns, Zhou Xiang still lost three rounds in a row, he touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, "Xiao Shan, I'm afraid this is going to break Your interest is gone, and my chess skills have regressed a lot."

"Hey, no, Big Brother Zhou taught me a lot, come again!" Xiao Shan couldn't finish it.

Zhou Xiang bit the bullet and responded, "Okay, come again!"

At dawn, Zhou Xiang had already fallen asleep, snoring one after another, but Xiao Shan sat there with great energy and continued to study the mess that Zhou Xiang gave him before going to bed, asking him to solve it within three steps.
Shan experimented a hundred times but it didn't work. This stumped him, but it also aroused Xiao Shan's fighting spirit. He couldn't write a thousand words a hundred times. At the time of the news, Xiao Shan was still studying the endgame with his head down.

"Really?" Zhou Xiang, who heard the voice and sat up, yelled and asked the maid.

The court lady nodded again and again, with a look of joy on her face, "Miss Su is in the Northern Dynasty, and the prince is preparing to go to the frontier to pick her up."

"Where is my sister?" Xiao Shan came back to his senses and asked Zhou Xiang excitedly as he pushed the unraveled mess to Zhou Xiang.

"In the Northern Dynasties."

"Great, it can be considered that she has been found, but there is other news, is she safe now?" Xiao Shan exclaimed.

"Safe and safe, the two of you can rest assured!" the palace maid replied repeatedly.

Zhou Xiang held the broken piece that was solved by Xiao Shan in his hand with a face full of injuries. It took him several years to solve it. How could it be solved overnight by Xiao Shan? While admiring Xiao Shan's strength, he grabbed his hand , messed up the chessboard, got up and put on his clothes, "Xiaoshan, let's go, and set off for the frontier."

"I don't have anything to pack, so I can leave now." Xiao Shan took a sip of herbal tea, immediately rejuvenated, and got up to leave.

Zhou Xiang only wore a coat, and he kicked on his boots and pulled the hill outside.

But I heard the maid who delivered the letter say, "You two gentlemen!"

"What's the matter?"

"My lord told you to wait in the mansion. My lord will pick you up in person, and you can't bring anyone else."

Both of them were taken aback.

Zhou Xiang scratched his slightly messy hair, thinking that he had been a stinky chess basket all night in exchange for the good news about Su Jiu, so why did he hit him in the head again? What does this mean?
"Well, the prince said that there are some things that are inconvenient to say, but I believe you will understand the clues. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, I don't want you to go together, so I can only ask the two of you to wait for the good news here. The prince promised that you will definitely I will bring Miss Su back safely...the palace is Miss Su's home."

The reason why Nie Wuhuan didn't tell the story last night was because he was afraid that there would be unnecessary troubles caused by two people rushing there. After all, his letter had just been sent out, and Liao Xuanyi was not sure how to make a decision on Nie Wuhuan. , but he just stationed troops in the frontier fortress, riding a white horse, guarding outside the gate of the frontier fortress, waiting for Liao Xuanyi to come with Su Jiu. This was the first condition for the two to reach a consensus.
