After most of the performance, Kang Xian just got off the main building boat, returned to his own boat, greeted some people on the first floor, then went upstairs, exchanged a few words with the juniors he met above, and looked at the painting boat.
When I looked to the side, I realized that the situation was a bit strange.
There were actually two pairs of people watching the show and playing chess by the window.
"It's really strange. Why is it that every time I see you, the most laid-back guy is always you? It's really irritating. The girls below are working hard on their performances. You are here to distract yourself. You are not afraid of being seen and scolded.
Did you waste this good seat for nothing..." Every time he saw Ning Yi, Kang Xian would inevitably respond with a few words. When he saw the chessboard, he said doubtfully, "Hey, this game is really weird..."
Turning his head to look at the window on the other side, he saw that the chess game in front of the two siblings was equally weird. The elder sister frowned unhappily, holding the chess pieces as if she was calculating, while the younger brother looked a little excited: "Sister, you
If we don’t block this place, we will lose.”
This was the first time Kang Xianke had seen such a situation. After Ning Yi told him the rules of backgammon with a smile, he suddenly realized: "You can always find something like this to play." When he went over to look over there,
, between the two children, the elder sister had already lost. When she saw Kang Xian, one called her: "Grandpa Aunt." The other called: "Grandpa Prince Consort." Then Kang Xian introduced both parties with a smile.
"It seems that we all know each other. This is Ning Yi, Ning Liheng... Liheng, who you often ask about. These two are the juniors in the family. My sister is Xiaopei, and my brother is named Junwu. One is thirteen years old, and the other is
Eleven years old. Xiaopei is a well-known talented girl in the family, and I have long seen that you are not convinced."
Kang Xian made a pleasant introduction, but the two children over there darkened their faces, especially the elder sister, who turned her head in displeasure. The younger brother complained: "Uncle, he just lied to me and said he was not Ning Liheng."
Kang Xian was slightly shocked. After he explained the whole story, he smiled and said: "You kid has to take the test as soon as you come here, so you won't get good results. You have to remember the lesson in the future... Li Heng, too, is the king of kids all day long.
I'm just thinking about how to entertain my children... Well, Xiao Pei Junwu, do you have any questions to ask at this time? I promise to let him answer you."
The sister named Xiaopei turned her head and said: "Humph, I'm afraid that people will test me, so I feel guilty because I don't have real knowledge. I have already reached a conclusion at this time, so it's okay not to ask." She said and walked aside to collect the chess pieces. Jun Wu then also laughed.
He smiled and said, "Then I won't ask. I'm going to play chess with my sister." In the past, when he played Go, he and his sister would always lose or not win. Now, after learning Gobang, he actually won several games in a row, which was quite impressive.
I am happy that my dislike for Ning Yi is not serious. It is estimated that half of Xiaopei's dissatisfaction with Ning Yi comes from backgammon. However, she is also tenacious. At this time, she continues to play backgammon with her brother, hoping to understand it and then directly play on it.
Turn the situation around.
Now that someone has come to talk, Xiao Chan has actually gotten up from his seat. Kang Xian smiled and sat down on the chair, looked at the endgame of the backgammon, dropped a piece at random, and said with a smile: "It's interesting to talk about it, Xiao Chan.
To call you aunt, they have to call me aunt. Some people used to call me Prince Consort, but now they call me Prince Consort. Haha, in this matter of generation, adding one word makes me older..."
Then he remembered it, signaled to the two children over there, and lowered his voice: "The two children of King Kang Zhou Yong's family are full of praise for you on weekdays. I have long wanted to meet you. Pei'er is indeed a talented girl of the Zhou family.
He is proficient in poetry and calligraphy, and is proficient in many skills as soon as he learns them. The most powerful one is arithmetic. Last year, when the family was doing the accounting, the little girl took an account book and calculated all the numbers without using an abacus. There was no mistake. The younger brother Junwu's qualifications were a little mediocre.
I have a powerful sister who is always being bossed around, haha, it’s quite interesting..."
Ning Yi looked back. A girl named Zhou Pei was facing this side. She frowned and wanted to play chess. She couldn't help but glared at Ning Yi. Ning Yi smiled and said: "It seems that he has found the only one who can
It’s better than my sister’s game.”
The performance below continued. Kang Xian naturally could not keep interacting with several juniors here. After playing half a game of residual chess, he roughly understood the concept of backgammon and left. Then Ning Yi and Xiaochan watched the performance.
The two siblings were still playing backgammon. Strangely enough, the girl named Zhou Pei couldn't play the first few games, either switching to Go or not playing at all, but kept playing, and seemed to have recovered a little in the end.
situation.
The night's performance came to a successful end, and then the appearance of the four top performers was announced with great fanfare, namely Feng Xiaojing from the previous session, Qilan with the support of the Puyang family, Yuan Jin'er from Jinfeng Tower and
A rookie named Luo Miaomiao, Lu Caicai, who was one of the top four players last year, failed to make the list.
Ning Yi just came to watch the performance, and things like these rankings have nothing to do with him. In short, the performance was quite comfortable to watch, and everything went smoothly tonight. Then the entire venue began to disperse, and some people were still socializing.
To build relationships, more people headed towards the exit. After Ning Yi and Xiaochan got off the boat, there was a slight confusion coming from the door. I heard others talking about it, and it was probably in the hearts of a group of people who supported Lu Caicai over there.
Unhappy, he got into a quarrel with others and a small-scale fight broke out.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. It happens almost every year. It is not a big problem. The soldiers who maintain order have already rushed over. I think it will be quelled soon. On the main ship, many dignitaries are chatting. In fact, tonight
For many people, the excitement and carnival are not over yet, and there is still a banquet to attend. Kang Xian is also saying goodbye to people there. When Ning Yi and Xiaochan passed by, he smiled and told them not to hurry up:
"My boat is also going back. It doesn't matter if we go together later. You two didn't drive here. If you walk back, I'm afraid you will be a little tired."
Crowds gathered far and near the venue, and the lights began to stretch from the road to Jiangning City. After a while, the crowd here gradually dwindled, and another accident happened on the side of Ning Yi's field of vision. Maybe it was because the weather was a little hot.
, someone seemed to have knocked down a candle in a big tent behind the stage, and a fire appeared on the river beach, igniting the tent and the surrounding items, burning fiercely.
People from various brothels ran out from there. Fortunately, there were not many people left in this area. Most of the people left behind were celebrities, officials, dignitaries who were still socializing, followers of these people, soldiers and a very small number of spectators who had not left.
, it’s not like there was any stampede incident. Someone was saying: “Quickly put out the fire...” Many people went over there. Ning Yi thought of Nie Yunzhu and asked Xiaochan to stay here for a while, and followed him on the way.
Then he met Nie Yunzhu who was coming this way. As for Yuan Jin'er, she won the top four awards and was going to celebrate. At this time, she was surrounded by a large group of people on the other side, but nothing happened.
"That's the big tent of Piaoxiangyuan. It's far away from us. It's just that it was scary at first when I heard it was flooded. But in fact, no one was burned. They all ran out. It's just that the tent is so big. Now I want to put it away
It’s not easy to put out the fire…”
From a distance, the fire on the river beach looked alarming, mainly because the tent was large and there were many items around it. But if it spread too far, it was actually impossible. At this time, it was just watching a group of people bravely put out the fire.
Ning Yi returned all the way to the hillside, found Xiaochan, and looked back to watch the show leisurely. Everything was normal tonight, and the flames had no impact. In this way, he just waited to go back.
He stood there thinking this, and almost yawned. When a gust of cool wind blew towards him, some thought suddenly crossed his mind, leaving him stunned for a long time.
He looked at the fire scene below, and then at the people here, looking for the target, and some clues became three-dimensional in his mind. That's right... when the flames started to burn, Chen Yong, the commander of Wu Liejun, shouted
He said: "You go put out the fire..." He called not only the yamen soldiers who maintained order, but also some of the personal guards, who were active around the fire at this time...
The reason why they were asked to go was because a large number of people outside were leaving, and due to the accident of the fight, the Yamen's arrangements would not be able to keep up for a while. There were not many soldiers here at this time...
"That's the big tent of Piaoxiang Courtyard..." Yunzhu said this. In Piaoxiang Courtyard, Chen Yong of Wu Liejun was supporting the top girl of Piaoxiang Courtyard. Now that girl... Ning
Yi turned his head and looked around... the leader of the Piaoxiang Courtyard was standing next to Chen Yong... That's why he called his personal guards over...
Song Xian couldn't be found. Song Xian probably had something to do. When the crowd dispersed, he was about to leave to deal with it. Then a fire broke out. Chen Yong ordered his guards to put out the fire. Song Xian left part of his guards behind and left at this time.
…
A strong wind blew over, and the wind on the river beach in the distance helped the fire, raising the flames suddenly. Ning Yi's face flickered. When he was among the crowd last night, he had considered many plans. If he wanted to kill Song Xian, he should
How to do it. It's just that the situation last night was different from now. He didn't think about these things tonight, but now that he thinks about it, if he wants to kill Song Xian, if these two little accidents are not coincidence...
After a moment, he took Xiaochan's hand and walked towards Kang Xian who was not far away. Xiaochan's face turned red: "Auntie, auntie, uncle..."
"Mr. Kang, do you have a carriage ready here?"
"Is there something wrong with Li Heng?"
"I remembered something urgent. I'm afraid I have to go back with Xiaochan first."
"Okay." Kang Xian didn't say much and nodded, "I'll let Agui take you there."
Soon after, the carriage with the Prince Consort's logo left the venue and turned onto the main road. Although there were many pedestrians returning to Jiangning on both sides of the road at this time, there was still space in the middle of the official road so that the carriage could move forward at a moderate speed.
Yi occasionally waved his whip and looked at Jiangning City at the other end of the road. The front end of the crowd after the meeting had begun to approach the city gate...
Two carriages bearing the Wu Liejun logo drove into Jiangning City and passed through the city.
At this time, the competition at Bailuzhou had dispersed not long ago, and most of the people had not returned to Jiangning. It was already late, and those who stayed in Jiangning would have already slept when two carriages passed by.
The bright or dark city streets drive all the way to the city gate at the other end of the city. The sound of wheels, the sound of horse hooves, and the clatter of horses quickly leave the bright or dark road behind. About halfway through, this is a section.
The relatively open but quiet road, the shops on both sides have been closed, there are all kinds of shelves, garbage, signs, lights are exposed in some rooms, a few dim lanterns are hung on the corners, and the sound of whips is heard.
In an instant, the driver of the carriage in front shouted: "Who is this person?"
The answer came in the next moment, like two rays of light colliding together, tearing each other apart at the moment of contact.
