Chapter 426 Adoption (1)

In a remote manor in the west of Yangzhou City, a man in a white cloak and a young man in a black robe are sitting across a chessboard. Dragon and Phoenix!

The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard have occupied almost half of the chessboard. Obviously, this game has been played for some time.

After the black-robed man put down the sunspot, the white-robed man picked up a white particle with his right hand without thinking and was about to put it down, but was grabbed by the black-robed man.

"Wait!" The black-robed man said with a smile, "Xiao Bai, I regret it!"

He looked righteous, as if regretting chess was normal.

The man in the white cape opposite him was Guan Yubai. Hearing this, he said helplessly, "You have regretted this game of chess more than ten times..."

"So what?" The black-robed man looked at Guan Yubai without any shame, "I play chess with you, just like you and I are competing in martial arts. Even if I ask you a hundred moves, I don't mind."

Guan Yubai smiled helplessly, "Then you can get off again."

The man in black robe quickly picked up the sunspot he had fallen before, and then scratched his head and scratched his head at the chessboard and said, "Wait, I have to think about it..." After speaking, he was already concentrating on thinking.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Guan Yubai almost considered whether to read the book or not, when Xiao Si pushed the door and came in, holding a thin bamboo tube in his hand. Xiao Si gave the man in black robe a cold look, and then said to the official language: "Young Master, this is the biography of the flying pigeons that I received today. It's from the Royal Capital."

Guan Yubai took the bamboo tube and took out two rolls of paper. After unfolding it, you could see that each piece of paper was filled with intricate characters. One of them was written on Nangong Yue's recent situation—since he left the capital, Such news has never been interrupted, so although it is thousands of miles away from Nangong Yue, Guan Yubai still knows her affairs very well. The other one is news gathered from all over the world.

"I figured it out!" The black-robed man suddenly exclaimed and finally dropped the black chess.

When he raised his head, he found that his opponent had already been distracted by other things. He pouted and complained, "Xiao Bai, you don't respect me too much."

"That's right." Guan Yubai hooked the corner of his mouth with a faint smile, and looked at the man in black robe, "Then I will respect you." He glanced at the chessboard casually, picked up a white stone, and put it out decisively. down...

The black-robed man suddenly wailed: "How can this happen? How can it still be like this? There must be another way out..."

Guan Yubai continued to look down at the second piece of paper in his hand. At the same time, his brows could not help but wrinkle tightly. He glanced at the black-robed man who was still thinking hard, walked straight to the side of the wall, and opened the Map on the wall.

Guan Yubai's fingers slowly swept across the map, then stopped at a certain position, and muttered to himself, "If that's the case, I'm afraid..." He thought for a moment, then threw the two pieces of paper in his hand into the brazier. , then raised his eyes and motioned for Xiao Si to come over...

...

A few days later, in the royal capital, thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, the torrential rain poured down. The sudden rainstorm poured down like a waterfall, and there was no sign of relief for nearly two hours.

The long princess of Yuncheng walked around in the flower hall irritably. It was raining endlessly, it was almost time, and Nangong Yue had not come yet.

"Xingyu, have you sent someone to see if the county magistrate of Yaoguang is here?" Princess Yuncheng ordered in an unknown number of times.

Xingyu naturally did not dare to refuse, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Highness." Following that, she quickly walked outside the hall to send a little maid.
