Chai Yan was speechless for a while, then he flattened his mouth and said to himself: "Shangguan Peining, you are also a great monk after all. Don't just think about playing chess all day long, or you will lose your mind playing with things!"
"No, no, no, I'm kidding you, five sets, five sets, five sets is enough..." Chai Yan suddenly changed his face.
"You know the truth!" Shangguan Peining was satisfied.
Then, Shangguan Peining's tone changed and she said seriously: "The source of the smell of blood is near the county government office. I can show you the way now..."
"Wait a minute, I can't walk away now, I have to wait for Wang Wangzhou and Liu Hongxuan to come!" Chai Yan shouted in his heart.
Shangguan Peining didn't care. She thought you could go anytime, so she said calmly: "You can figure it out yourself! Also, don't forget what you promised me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Peining became silent.
At this moment, Chai Yan heard a female voice coming from behind: "Master Chai, why are you here?"
Chai Yan looked back and saw that it was Xiao Huan.
"Oh, it's Xiaohuan..." Chai Yan smiled and nodded.
Xiaohuan stepped forward, gave a blessing, and said, "Master Chai, are you here to see Mrs. Chai?"
Chai Yan responded: "Ah, yes...by the way, let me see if you have eaten..."
"Master Chai, don't worry, Mrs. Chai and Miss Chai have already had dinner..." After Xiaohuan finished speaking, her eyes showed envy: "Master Chai, you are so kind to your wife...
..”
"Haha, it's not bad..." Chai Yan laughed.
Xiaohuan also laughed, and then said: "Master Chai, please wait, I will go in and inform Mrs. Chai..."
After saying that, Xiaohuan quickly returned to the inner courtyard.
Not long after, Yuan Yuan came out, followed by Situ Jing and Xiao Huan.
Yuan walked up to Chai Yan and asked softly: "What, is something wrong?"
Chai Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I just wanted to come over and see you."
Yuan Yuan's face immediately turned red, and he winked secretly: "There are still people here..."
"What does it matter?" Chai Yan said carelessly.
"Master Chai."
Situ Jing, who was behind, also walked up to him at this time. After stopping, he bowed happily.
Chai Yan raised his hands and said hello: "Miss Situ."
Situ Jing exchanged brief greetings with Chai Yan, and then couldn't help but ask: "Master Chai, how is the situation outside now?"
Chai Yan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Miss Situ. Those Youlong clan members are slowly dispersing. I believe everything will be fine soon."
Situ Jing believed it to be true, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanking: "Thanks to Master Chai and Mrs. Chai this time!"
"Miss Situ, you have already thanked me so many times, my ears are almost getting calluses!" Chai Yan joked.
These words made Yu Yuan, Situ Jing and Xiao Huan also laugh.
"Master Chai, you and your wife can chat slowly while Xiaohuan and I go to the side first..." Situ Jing said and was about to leave.
Chai Yan immediately stopped Situ Jing: "Miss Situ, wait a moment, I will finish speaking soon!"
After that, Chai Yan pulled Yuan aside, leaned into her ear and said, "It may be rough at night, so tell them not to run around and stay vigilant!"
Yuan Yuan's brows gradually furrowed. After Chai Yan finished speaking, she immediately nodded vigorously and said, "I know, leave it to me!"
"I'm leaving." Chai Yan left quickly after explaining the matter.
After Chai Yan walked away, Yuan Yuan turned around and saw that Situ Jing and Xiao Huan were looking at her with envy, and her face couldn't help but blush again.
"Miss Situ, it's windy outside, let's go back to the house."
Then, Yuan Yuan urged Situ Jing and Xiao Huan to return to the inner courtyard and closed the courtyard door himself.

After a stick of incense, in the open space outside the county prison...
Ge Hong and the other five people were gathering together to discuss the details of guarding at night.
Ge Hong has seen the surrounding environment just now. For them, all they need to do is guard the gate of the county jail and prevent anyone from entering!
While we were discussing the issue of taking turns to watch the night, we suddenly heard a loud "gurgling" sound.
The four people immediately turned to look at Fatty Lai. They were all familiar with this voice. Whenever Fatty Lai was hungry, his stomach would start to make noises.
Fatty Lai clutched his stomach and complained: "It's so late, why haven't you served dinner yet?"
Just when Ge Hong was about to speak, he heard Cheng Jiu's sour voice: "Who cares about our life and death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Yan's voice came from behind: "Who said no one cares about your life or death?"
When the five people heard the sound, they immediately turned around and saw Chai Yan walking over carrying a wooden bucket, followed by five or six servants. The servants all carried trays filled with various dishes.
Before the handymen came around, Fatty Lai smelled the aroma of the dishes, and his stomach was suddenly stimulated and started to growl again.
Ge Hong glanced at Cheng Jiu dissatisfied and whispered: "Don't say such words again!"
Cheng Jiu said nothing about this.
In this short gap, Chai Yan had already walked up to the five people carrying the barrel.
Chai Yan put down the barrel and opened the lid. A burst of hot air rushed up. It turned out that it was a whole barrel of fresh white rice.
"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers..." Chai Yan said loudly: "Eat first, if there is not enough!"
Next, except for Ge Hong, who was eating slightly better, the other four seemed to be reincarnated as starving ghosts, almost devouring the dishes as they gobbled.
Fatty Lai had the largest appetite. After eating two buckets of white rice in a row, a cheerful smile appeared on his face: "Brother, I haven't eaten so happily in a long time..."
Ge Hong said: "Don't eat too much, lest you delay your business!"
"Oh..." Fatty Lai wanted to have another bucket, but gave up after hearing what his elder brother said.
Cheng Jiu ate several large bowls of food, and suddenly looked up and found Chai Yan looking at him, and asked angrily: "Why are you looking at me?"
Chai Yan smiled slightly and said: "As the saying goes, the handler has a short hand and the eater has a short mouth. You have eaten the food I sent, why are you not polite to me?"
Cheng Jiu walked over and filled another large bowl of rice. While picking up the dishes and adding vegetables to the rice, he said: "These are the rice grains from the county government, not yours!"
Ge Hong said hurriedly: "Fourth brother, if you have something to eat, why can't you stop your mouth?"
Chai Yan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Lao Ge..."
After a while, Chai Yan suddenly said: "Hey! Cheng Jiu, how about we compete before you finish eating?"
Cheng Jiu was stunned, then raised his neck and said: "Let's compete, are you afraid that you won't succeed?"
"Master Chai..." Ge Hong was anxious.
Chai Yan raised his hand to stop Ge Hong, and then said: "In this way, if you lose, don't mess with me again in the future, and you must listen to me honestly in everything, how about that?"
"What if you lose?" Cheng Jiu asked.
Chai Yan folded his hands on his chest, shrugged and said, "Then I will listen to you in everything, how about that?"
"It's a deal, whoever cheats will be the grandson!"
After Cheng Jiu said loudly, he put the bowls and chopsticks beside him, and then quickly rolled up his sleeves...
