Main Text Chapter 684 Playing Chess

After the banquet, Huo Lingxiao originally wanted to get closer to Miao Yi, but Wu Menglan persisted and deliberately disgusted him, so he had to go to another courtyard to rest.

After taking away Huo Lingxiao, Wu Menglan saw that Miao Yi had something to do with Peng Yu. She came to Zhenren Hall for the first time and was really pleased with the surrounding scenery. She wanted to go out for a walk. Miao Yi naturally said nothing and asked Jian Sanniang to accompany her.

Miao Yi turned around and went to a pavilion in Liufang Garden with Peng Yu, and ordered people to summon the two people Peng Yu had brought.

After the old man and the young man arrived under the guidance of the palace maid, they were stunned when they saw Miao Yi sitting in the pavilion with Peng Yu. Wasn't he talking about meeting the 'Miao thief', the newly appointed deacon of the Yudu Peak Golden Palace? Why is it Yan Beihong?

The two had seen Miao Yi take action at the treasure appraisal conference, but Miao Yi was called Yan Beihong at the time.

"I told you last time that this is Dong Guoli, the head of the Jing Jue Sect. This is his disciple Yang Qingqing, the sheep of Niu Yang. I must have noticed that she is a woman disguised as a man." Peng Yu held a tea cup After introducing him to Miao Yi, he smiled at the two of them and said, "Headmaster Dongguo, the deacon Miao who summoned you is here, why don't you pay your respects?"

The master and apprentice looked at each other, and Dong Guoli boldly asked, "Master Peng, are you mistaken? Isn't this the world-famous Yan Beihong?" Miao Yi answered: "Yuan Yan Beihong Hong’s name means Lord Envoy, so I don’t think I need to explain it much.”

Now that he had said that, Dong Guoli had anything else to say, and tried to ask: "I wonder what the deacon's orders are for summoning little old man's master and apprentice?"

Miao Yi smiled and said: "It was quite interesting to see the treasures refined by the two of you at the treasure appraisal conference. Jingjue Sect might as well move to another place and come here to serve me."

The master and apprentice looked at each other again, and Dong Guoli cupped his hands and said: "It's okay to work for the deacon, but Jingjue Sect has been passed down for many years, and only my master and apprentice are left. If my master and apprentice join the official, then Jingjue Sect will exist in name only. "The implication is that I can work for you, but I won't join the official team.

Although their craftsmanship is not valued by others. You can't make much money, but the profession of refining treasures is still quite popular after all. Although the master and apprentice did not do well with their craftsmanship, their income was still better than that of ordinary official personnel who were paid a salary. They did not think that Miao Yi would give them a good position, so they had to leave some room for themselves. I think the two masters and apprentices went directly to the rank of envoy, but others looked down upon them.

Miao Yi said: "Yes! But you must obey my orders. You are not allowed to leave without permission, and you are not allowed to refine treasures for others without authorization." The master and disciple were shocked. What's the difference between this and being under your command? Dong Guoli said hurriedly: "Master Deacon, you are asking me to forgive you for obeying my order."

Miao Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "In other words, I can't keep you here, so you have to leave?"

Dong Guoli forced a smile and said: "Sir, if you have any orders, just ask. I will definitely serve you, but I will not let you leave or refine treasures for others. I am in this business, and it is really difficult for me to obey."

Miao Yi said: "I will not treat you badly."

Yang Qingqing, who was pretending to be a man next to her, seemed a little angry and said, "Sir, what if we have to leave?"

Miao Yi squinted and said, "Leave? I don't agree. Can you leave? I don't agree. Is there a place for you in Chen Road?"

Yang Qingqing said angrily: "Sir, you are using your power to bully others. Is it fun to bully a small person like me?"

Dong Guoli on the side was startled and quickly pulled her up.

However, things turned out badly. Miao Yi originally wanted to talk about the treatment, but now he was too lazy to talk nonsense to them. If you don't want to listen to good things, then don't listen. Cast a spell and say, "Here comes someone!"

Uh-huh! The four guards on duty immediately fell from the sky one after another. Miao Yi said calmly: "Drag them down and lock them up! No one is allowed to let them out without my permission!"...

"Sir..." The master and apprentice were both shocked and angry.

The four walking men took action directly, restrained the two of them, and dragged them away without saying a word.

The corner of Peng Yu's mouth twitched, and he was holding tea and drinking water. He was a little speechless, but there was nothing he could do, he was the king here...

In the Grand Manager's Mansion, Yang Qing brought Qingmei and Qingju back from the palace and bumped into Qin Weiwei who was waiting.

"General Manager, the palace master is still entertaining guests?" Qin Weiwei asked.

Yang Qing glanced at her and said, "It's gone. Why, do you have anything to do with the palace master?"

"No..." Qin Weiwei immediately denied it.

After Yang Qing sat down, he said: "Weiwei, if you have anything to tell me in the future, you can go directly to the palace master. After all, we are father and daughter. My status under the master is a bit delicate. I have to avoid suspicion to avoid suspicion. If you are gossiping behind your back, you can go directly to the Palace Master if you have something to do. There are some things that are more appropriate for the Palace Master to help you solve than for me to solve them for you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qin Weiwei was afraid of what he would say. After hearing what he said, her bright eyes lit up slightly and she nodded: "I understand."

Qingmei and Qingju couldn't help but look at each other. What the adults said made sense. If you didn't know anything about it, you wouldn't know what it meant...

With the guests around, Miao Yi couldn't practice in peace. After sending Peng Yu away here, Wu Menglan, who had been wandering around the mountains and rivers, also came back.

Miao Yi had someone prepare a separate courtyard to accommodate her, but she waved her hand and said, "No, just prepare a courtyard for me in your harem."

Miao Yi asked strangely: "Sister Meng, is there something wrong?"

Wu Menglan sneered and said: "I'm fine, I just want to make Huo Lingxiao sick. Don't pretend to be brotherly in front of me. Don't say you don't know Huo Lingxiao's purpose here. I will live here. I won't leave until he leaves." , let’s see how he tries to make friends with you.”

Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Meng, why do you always have trouble with him?" He was very curious about what happened to Wu Menglan and Huo Lingxiao.

Wu Menglan asked: "What? Do you not welcome me to live in your palace?"

"No, no." Miao Yi waved his hand quickly. There are many female relatives in the palace. It is really inconvenient for other men to live here. Even Yan Xiu won't live in the courtyard of the harem. Wu Menglan is a woman. It doesn't matter, as long as you are not afraid of me ruining your reputation. That’s it. He immediately turned back to the two girls and said, "Go and prepare a yard for Sister Meng."

Wu Menglan was not polite and walked around Miao Yi's house. When she went to the study, she saw the chess sets on display. She grabbed a handful of chess pieces with interest and said, "How do you like this?"

Miao Yi, who was accompanying him, smiled and said, "I don't know anything. Everything in this study is just for decoration. I basically don't use it."

"Oh!" Wu Menglan took the chess equipment in her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll teach you, we just have a chat."

Miao Yi had no choice but to follow her to the observation deck, where he could sit and enjoy the scenery while playing chess. Wu Menglan looked around at the beautiful scenery and couldn't help but nod her head again and praised: "What a great place!"

After the chessboard was arranged, Qian'er and Xue'er both knew how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting without Wu Menglan's teaching, so Qian'er gave instructions and Xue'er poured tea and water.

Qian'er was explaining the rules of the game to Miao Yi, but Xue'er, who was pouring tea and water at the side, saw Qin Weiwei walking into the palace and reminded her, "Sir, Master Qin is here."

Miao Yi casually replied, "Ask her to come up."

Xueer then stood on the viewing platform and sent a message to Qin Weiwei who was walking into the harem.

After Qin Weiwei went up to the observation deck, she saw that Wu Menglan was also there. She was a little startled. If she had known that Miao Yi still had guests, she would not have come. She quickly stepped forward to salute the two of them.

"This one looks familiar." Wu Menglan looked Qin Weiwei up and down and said.

Miao Yi smiled and said, "Qin Weiwei, the daughter of Manager Yang."

Wu Menglan said "Oh", Miao Yi turned around and asked: "Is there something wrong with Palace Master Qin?"...

"The matter of humble duty is not important. Your Excellency, please be busy first. I will come back to disturb you later." Qin Weiwei immediately resigned.

"Sit down when you're here!" Miao Yi pointed at the chessboard and asked, "Can you play chess?"

Qin Weiwei nodded, "Have a rough idea."

"It just so happens that I know nothing about it, but Hall Master Wu insists on trying to humiliate me. You just happen to be my military advisor!" Miao Yi pointed to the side, "Look at your seat!"

He was not being polite. Although Qian'er and Xue'er could give advice, they were too respectable to sit in front of Wu Menglan. It was uncomfortable to look at them with their waists bowed all the time.

Qian'er immediately moved a chair and placed it next to Miao Yi. When the master of the palace spoke, Qin Weiwei had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey. After sitting down, he realized that Miao Yi was not pretending not to understand, but really didn't know how to play chess, so he gave him careful instructions.

Miao Yi waved his hand and told Qian'er and Xue'er to go down and do their own business. Qin Weiwei was here to take care of them, so there was no need to leave so many people around to watch him embarrass himself.

With the jade beauty beside him, her delicate body fragrance, her soft jade hands pointing at the chessboard, and soft whispers in his ears, Miao Yi found that playing chess was really a great enjoyment, and his interest suddenly increased.

Qin Weiwei was a person who rarely smiled. When she was with Miao Yi and saw him staring at the chessboard, sometimes glaring, sometimes sighing, and sometimes sighing, she couldn't help but laugh. The cold lines on his pretty face became softer, and his whole temperament changed. She became gentle, occasionally looking at Miao Yi with tender eyes, and the white dress with pear blossoms set it off.

"Wait a minute, Sister Meng, I made the wrong move." Miao Yi picked up the chess piece he just dropped and considered it again.

Wu Menglan tapped the chess piece in her hand on the table, "A true gentleman will never regret losing a chess piece."

"First time." This was Miao Yi's reason.

Wu Menglan smiled playfully and glanced at Qin Weiwei from time to time. They were all women, and Wu Menglan was still here. She seemed to see something from Qin Weiwei's words and deeds. Taking advantage of Miao Yi's consideration, she took a sip of tea and said with a smile: " Miao Yi, you have no wife and concubines, and the main room in the harem is always empty. When are you going to fill it? "

Qin Weiwei immediately fell silent. Miao Yi, who was staring at the chessboard, raised his head and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, you have been around for a long time. Instead of worrying about yourself first, you worry about me instead. What's the point? Do you have some plans for my little brother?"

"Obscene!" Wu Menglan spat, and then said to Qin Weiwei: "I think Palace Master Qin is good, you might as well consider it."

Qin Weiwei's cheeks turned red. Miao Yi looked back at her and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, why do you have to embarrass her? Let's talk about you. What is going on between you and Huo Lingxiao?"
