Chapter 1

Two months ago—

Jingchao border Yunzhou

It was July when the fire was flowing. Although the heat began to fade, the land of the scenery was still stuffy. However, in a small forest on the border, dense sky and trees rose and fell one after another, covering the earthy mountain tightly, without even a little sunshine and stars. Even the wind blowing into the mountains was filled with a cool feeling of being isolated from the world. The sound of horse hooves sounded in the quiet forest, and three men came in dust.

"Sixth Master, we have been traveling for a few hours. I think we are not far away. Why not take a break here?" The person who spoke was a burly man in black, probably in his early thirties, with a scar of long fingers on his rough face and a big knife around his waist.

He respected as Sixth Master, but he was a young man who was just as handsome as the twentieth prince. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked painful, "Okay, my bones are almost falling apart."

Following the back was a pretty servant. He looked ahead with sharp eyes and said, "Sixth Master, there is a pavilion there."

"Okay, go to the pavilion to have a drink."

The three of them whipped, and within a moment, they arrived at the simple stone pavilion that the servant pointed to. A white shadow appeared in sight. The three of them fixed their eyes, but unexpectedly, there was a person sitting in the desolate mountain pavilion, and they were also a famous woman.

The woman sat alone on the stone bench with her back straightened. She wore a long moon-white dress with a light breeze. Her long black hair that reached her waist was tied back behind her head with a moon-white ribbon. She raised her slender arms slightly, and her jade fingers fell lightly, as if she was playing... chess?

The man in black was surprised and asked loudly, "Girl, why are you doing here alone in such a deserted mountain or ridge?"

Hearing the call, the woman looked up in surprise, showing a beautiful little face, with only a pair of heroic eyebrows, and looked extremely angry. She looked at the three of them with bright eyes, and then slowly said, "I am playing chess with my husband."

"It turns out to be a wife, it's rude," the man in black was a little embarrassed. It seemed that the lady was a bride and she didn't even tie her hair up. "I just don't know where the husband is?" Isn't she a weak woman afraid of bandits?

With a pretty eyebrows raised, she said in confusion: "Isn't he just sitting opposite me?" She pointed to the empty position opposite her. Seeing the three of them with different expressions, she slowly showed strange smiles, "Huh? You can't see my husband, but you can see me?"

In an instant, the birds sing and insects cries suddenly stopped.

A gust of cold wind rose, and layers of green branches behind the woman swayed in the wind, and some stone tablets appeared high and low.

Therefore, the wife is...the tombstone! The servant couldn't help but gasp, and his hair stood up, and he said faithfully: "Sixth Master, be careful!"

"Hahaha--" A hearty laughter sounded in the quiet and gloomy woods, which immediately made people feel that the dark clouds faded away and saw the sunshine.

The master and servant looked at the woman who smiled so strangely that she had almost revealed her twelve teeth, and there was almost a black line on her forehead.

"Ouch," the woman stroked her stomach with a painful smile, "Young master, you really support me." Do you really treat her as a mountain girl?

The servant stared at the indecent lady in a daze, as if he couldn't believe there was such a woman in this world.

"Hahaha, little lady, your move is interesting." The young man in blue was also stunned, and then laughed. This move is good, not bad.

The woman in white lit up her eyes and sighed infinitely, "The mountains and rivers are flowing, and it is hard to find a soulmate!" Those people always don't understand her pleasure.

"What a pity, there are not many people who know about the fun in it." The young man expressed deep regret.

The woman in white met too late, "I didn't expect that she would meet her confidant by chance. This is fate!"

A black line appeared on the forehead of the man in black and the servant. This lady must be a businessman, right?

When he walked into the pavilion, the young man in blue looked closely. The woman in front of him was not considered as beautiful, but her pair of heroic thin eyebrows and bright eyes were extremely difficult to ignore.

"I wonder where the young masters came from and where they went?" Oh, she accidentally asked an ultimate philosophical question. She was so profound. But don't answer that comes from nature, and she will collapse.

"We came from Changzhou and wanted to go to Yunzhou to find people." said the man in black.

"Oh..." The woman nodded in a clear way. Usually, few people came to the small area of ​​the border, and most of them were looking for people like them, because Yunzhou was originally the place where Jingchao exiled. Except for the people who lived here for generations, they were all exiled.

"I think you are going to Yunzhou too, but a few of you took the fork in the road. The first fork in the forest turned left is the way to Yunzhou City."

"Huh?" The young man was surprised and exchanged a look with the man in black, "You little lady is serious about this?"

"Of course, you are lucky to meet me. If you walk straight on this road, you will break into the grave, which is a forbidden area that locals dare not break into."

"How do you say this?" The young man became interested when he heard this.

"Yunzhou has been fighting for many years, and there are too many lonely ghosts. I heard that the thousand-year-old ghosts in the mountains gathered a crowd of mobs, and they specifically found passers-by who broke into the mountains, ate their flesh, and then absorbed their souls to practice demonic techniques." The woman said mysteriously.

The servant looked bad when he heard this. He always felt that the forest was too gloomy. It turned out...

"Is there really a ghost?" Another hearing official was in a very good mood, and saw the young man whispering his hands and eager to try, "My master, I have never seen what a ghost looks like. Ziling, let's go and meet those ghosts!"

"Young Master is interested? Then I will go back and get the evil-proof sword from my family's ancestors. How about we go to catch ghosts together?" The woman happily suggested when she heard this.

"It's just my wish!" The young man stroked his palm.

The black line on my forehead was even worse, and the man in black had to speak, "Sixth Master, is there something wrong with this...?"

A faint sentence made the young master feel like a deflated ball, "Forget it, just don't go."

Seeing that handsome face showed a childish expression of agitated expression, the woman had a regretful expression on her face, she kindly advised: "It's not too late to go when she finds someone." She casually glanced at the rough man standing behind the young man in blue like a mountain, and suddenly stopped gaze. She didn't notice it when she was far away. There was a familiar atmosphere on him, which was nostalgic.

She let out a light breath, her eyes staring at him with a complex soft light.

It can be said that since he was injured, no woman dared to look directly at his hideous face, but he did not find any timidity and disgust in the sight of the woman in front of him.

But this look...is it too explicit for women? The man in black couldn't help but speak, "Madam, is there anything on his face?"

He suddenly returned to his senses, and the woman coughed lightly, "I'm rude, I just look at the face of the young master... If I join the army, I will definitely be the honor of the general in the future... I am really a good match for the woman!"

The three of them had a bit of weathered expression and no sense of inconsistency! This was clearly a conceited statement that was inconsistent with the foreword. Why was it accompanied by her kind and kind smile that almost seemed to help her daughter see her son-in-law, but it was very harmonious and harmonious.

In the end, the person involved was a little calmer, "With his wife's praise, Huang was ashamed of being accused of being a guard. He was just a guard and dared not imagine such ambition."

"Whether that is, it's good, it's good to be the top pick."

He seemed to feel a little strange, and the woman laughed dryly, "It turns out that the young master's surname is Huang, and his husband's surname is Li, just call me Mrs. Li. I wonder what these two young masters are called?"

"Huh? Are you really married?" The young man said with a straightforward and rude manner. He thought this was also her lie, after all, he had never seen such a woman without virtue.

Mrs. Li covered her mouth and smiled, "So do I look so young? The young man is really good at speaking. I am old and I have become an old girl before I get married!"

...The expression and tone look like a girl's house. She even said that she is old? It's probably just a young age.

Most noble women in the Jing Dynasty married at fifteen, while ordinary girls at most eighteen need to choose husbands, otherwise they may not be able to marry again.

The young master knew that he had made a mistake, so he touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "It's so rude, I hope my wife won't be surprised. Leng Ziqing, Changzhou, is polite."

"Young Master Leng, lucky to know." Mrs. Li smiled politely, looked up at the servant waiting for him to report his own home.

Unexpectedly, after a silence, the servant didn't even raise his head.

"Is there anything wrong with me, a little servant? Madam." Seeing that she looked at the servant for a long time, the young man Leng Liqing asked in confusion.

"Huh? I just..." I suddenly remembered something, and Mrs. Li's eyes flashed, and she smiled helplessly, "I just wanted him to hand me the basket, but I didn't know what to call it."

"Oh, Madam is so polite, just call him just by calling him." The young man in blue winked, and the handsome servant hurriedly brought the bamboo basket at his feet to her.

Mrs. Li smiled gratefully, took the basket and looked at him, "Thank you..."

"My wife has broken the young man, and her little man is famous for being a lucky man." The servant still lowered his eyes and looked down.

"Hello." Mrs. Li replied politely to the person who introduced her to her.

The servant Wanfu's head drooped even lower.

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the guard named Huang.

The young master looked down at a jade pot and two jade cups placed on the stone table. It was crystal clear and looked like a top-quality one. The noble master who saw many of these things skipped by indifferently. Seeing the chessboard carved on the table and the chess pieces placed on it, his eyes lit up, "Madam, are you playing chess?"

Chapter 2

"Well, yes." Seeing that he was interested, Mrs. Li seemed very happy. People who love chess really have a feeling that it is better to have fun with everyone. It is best for everyone to like to play, so it will be even more fun to play chess.

"Mrs. It seems that she is solving the endgame. If I don't dislike it, how about I share my worries for her?" Leng Liqing sat on the stone chair opposite her. Oh, it's still comfortable to sit still. Running around immediately is not a life that people live.

Mrs. Li was slightly surprised, "Are you guys going to rush for the road?" Could it be that she had met a chess fool, so how could she go out to find someone but play chess with someone in the wilderness?

"How many miles are there to go to Yunzhou?"

"If you walk, it will take half an hour."

"Half an hour?"

“…a quarter of an hour.”

“A quarter?”

“…half of half an hour.”

"Oh, it's only two quarters of an hour?"

...Okay, although that look was well covered, she swears that he was looking at an illiterate person.

She graduated from a military college student! She has a degree certificate! Mrs. Li roared in her heart.

Yes, this Mrs. Li Chen Ning was not a Jing Chao person, but traveled from China in the 21st century. Two years ago, she and a group of female soldiers were doing survival training on an isolated island. She picked up a piece of black jade with a bird-headed and beast-body in a cave to attract attention. When she was discussing with her companions how much it was worth, she was sent to this country she had never known. There were no ghosts, no gods, no monsters, and no imaginable inhuman flow to explain to her. When she blinked, there were only lush forests and absolute confusion.

"We still have some time, madam, please!" Leng Liqing just wanted to take this opportunity to rest.

Chen Ning burst into laughter, "That's fine." She lowered her eyes and swept across the chess game, with a soft light of nostalgia in her eyes.

Leng Liqing originally wanted to make a comeback, but after watching for a long time, he didn't know where to start. Suddenly, he felt a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and raised his head, "I... the young master suddenly became tired. How about the guard Huang staying in the bureau?"

It turned out that Ziling was the word Huang Guard. He was originally a tall man standing behind him watching the game and saw the chessboard. He hesitated for a moment, but hesitated for too long, "Yes."

So the young master asked to sit, accompanied by a silence, Huang Guard sat steadily in front of the stone table, "Please."

Chen Ning stared at him for a moment, chuckled, raised his hand and replied, "Please."

Young Master Leng sat aside and watched the two of them break the deadlock with interest.

It was getting dark, and the dedicated Mrs. Li seemed to feel someone blocking the sky light. She frowned and looked up, and she realized that the night had already arrived.

Just as I was about to speak, I blurted out but exclaimed, "Be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, a black shadow entered the air, and the sharp sword tip could be seen directly at the young master sitting next to him.

"Clang!" The iron blade and the iron blade burst out in an instant. The guard who was clearly addicted to the chess game was blocking the master with a big knife in his hand, and Wanfu had quickly protected the master and moved to a safe place.

"Who is yours? I have no grudges and grudges with you, so why do you kill me?" Leng Liqing was protected behind her and shouted loudly.

The man hidden in the dark turned a deaf ear and had tried more than ten moves with the enemy in the narrow pavilion, but he didn't even tell the difference between Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan. After a turn of sword flowers, he used a domineering move to stab the guard directly. The sword energy that cut through the air and the harsh Liyin left a long blood mark on the face of the tall guard.

This person has a very high internal skills and cultivation. It has been a long time since he met such a powerful person. Huang Guard's eyes were cold, his sword was standing upright, his body was bowed, and he shouted loudly. The six-foot sword was powerful and powerful.
