Chen Changzhong knew that Chen Yingmu did not want him to face his cousin Lu Yundan in the future. He hesitated and said in a deep voice: "Dad, there is only one person in the world. You know, this is impossible. Even if I want to be with my cousin now, Alliance."

Chen Yingmu said nothing and stared at Chen Changzhong with veins popping on his forehead.

Chen Changzhong then added in a solemn voice: "But my son promises you that no matter what the final success or failure is, I will definitely spare my cousin's life."

Chen Yingmu sneered and said angrily: "Young man, I'm not ashamed of my words. Among you brothers, we still can't tell who will be spared!"

Chen Changzhong saw that his father's mood had obviously improved, and his usual evil smile appeared on his lips again, and he joked: "Then, don't forget to ask my cousin to save my life..."

"Get out of here! If I see you, you bastard, I will lose several years of my life!"

"Son, get out of here!" Chen Changzhong finished talking to Chen Yingmu and ran away quickly, not wanting to stay here to scold his father anymore.

Before the reply could be heard, Chen Changzhong jumped over the window and ran away.

Chen Yingmu saw that Chen Changzhong was not taking the usual route and climbed over the window in front of him. She was so angry that she picked up a military stick on the shelf in the study and quickly chased after him, vowing to beat the traitor.

Chen Changzhong turned around and saw his father chasing after him with a military stick that he had not covered for a long time. His skin suddenly tightened. He knew that he had really offended his father today, so he quickly turned around and ran towards the back house of Chen Mansion.

His great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother all cared about him, and they would not let him be beaten by his father.

The next day, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There is a large lotus pond in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with several pavilions built on it. Now that the spring sun is warm, Lu Yundan and Chen Changzhong, brothers and cousins ​​who have not seen each other for a long time, ordered their servants to set up a chessboard in the pavilion. , enjoy the scenery and play chess.

There are green trees and willows beside the lotus pond, and on the turquoise lake, green lotus leaves stretch like a field. Although it has not yet reached the flowering stage, only these fragrant and dew lotus leaves float on the water, revealing the vitality. It's enough to make you feel relaxed and happy.

Chen Changzhong held the white marble chess piece with his slender fingers, concentrating on the move, and finally found the chess hole, breaking Lu Yundan's siege.

Lu Yundan smiled warmly and said, "Sure enough, I can't surround my cousin."

Chen Changzhong also laughed: "I haven't surrounded you, Congyuan. We haven't seen you for a few years. Congyuan is very good at chess."

"What is the purpose of my cousin coming back this time?"

A bad smile appeared on Chen Changzhong's lips, and he leaned back: "Can't I just come back to pay my great-grandmother a birthday? Congyuan, you and my father are very similar. It's strange that the world says that my nephew is like my uncle."

Lu Yundan smiled noncommittally, raised his hand, dropped another chess piece and said, "Just don't ask, you will always have to say it."

Chen Changzhong followed closely and dropped a white piece, complaining: "I was planning to rest for a day and come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit you tomorrow, but I didn't want you to come to the Chen Mansion to invite people early in the morning."

Wen Nannan said: "I think cousin you will be fine, so I won't leave you in Chen's house to make uncle angry. My mother just got into trouble yesterday, and uncle hasn't gotten angry yet, so I won't leave you there any longer." My uncle is so angry that I feel bad for him."

As soon as Wen Nanfang said this, Chen Changzhong burst out laughing. Thinking of his aunt's "innocent" temperament, he looked at Lu Yundan with sympathy and said, "It's really miserable for you to deal with a girl like my aunt. I don’t know what evil you did in your last life, tsk tsk.”

Hearing Chen Changzhong speak freely without any concern for the other party's identity, Wen Nanfang laughed and said: "You can just say this in front of me. Don't say this in front of my uncle, otherwise he will serve you with a military stick again."

Chen Changzhong curled his lips: "Isn't it? If my aunt were my mother, I would definitely encourage my father to use a military stick to deal with her. For people with intracranial diseases, the stick method can definitely remove the root of the disease."

Lu Yundan glanced at Chen Changzhong helplessly, saying nothing.

Chen Changzhong patted his head: "Haha, I almost forgot, my uncle protected my aunt so tightly, who could use a stick to cure her illness? Your grandmother has been tough all her life, but there is nothing she can do? Haha, it's my brother, isn't it?

, whichever pot is not opened will be picked up."

Lu Yundan shook his head, played a ruthless piece, and immediately took Chen Changzhong's six white pieces. When Chen Changzhong saw this, he screamed strangely, and quickly restrained himself to observe the chess game, not daring to tease Lu Yundan again.

The two of them were going back and forth for a while, and Chen Changzhong suddenly said: "I will take over the position of Xuezhou Prefect."

Lu Yundan's hand holding the chess piece paused, and he said calmly: "I see. What are you planning to do when your cousin comes here this time?"

Chen Changzhong looked at the chess game in front of the two of them with a stern look in his eyes: "Since we can't surround each other for the moment, how about we mix chess and surround others?"

Lu Yundan raised his eyes slightly: "Cousin, what do you mean, alliance?"

Chen Changzhong nodded, stretched out his big palm, mixed all the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him, and said solemnly: "There are countless chess players in the world. We two brothers will first knock off the other people who try to climb up on the chess table.

Turn it over, and one person will hold black and the other will hold white. How about a one-point victory?"

Lu Yundan lowered his eyes and looked at the messed up chessboard in front of him, and suddenly laughed loudly: "What's wrong with this?"

Chen Changzhong also raised his head and smiled: "It's really nice to talk to you. Have you thought about it?"

Lu Yundan put his hand on the chessboard, which was already in chaos, and said solemnly: "I can't get it."

Chen Changzhong raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand as well. He pressed Wen Nanfang's hand on the chessboard with an imposing manner, and met Lu Yundan's eyes: "How about the Wen family of Xiangzhou first? Lift this disgusting thing first."

Chess table?”

A confident smile appeared on Lu Yundan's lips: "Yes."

In the breeze, little bits of catkins are like white snow, dancing all over the sky. The flying catkins are misty, curling like mist, carrying the fresh smell of water vapor in the pool, and it is a pleasant scene.

Two tall figures sat opposite each other, with their hands folded, making an alliance on the chaotic chess game.

Huanshui County, Kuzhou, County Sheriff's Mansion.

The weather is fine, and the sun is shining warmly on the ground. Since it rained like a drizzle last night, the air is fresh today, but the ground does not look muddy, but is slightly moist.

In the back garden, Lin Zhihuang was lying in a rocking chair with his eyes closed, while Lin Wanniang stood beside her, as if on the execution ground, stumbling and reciting the general introduction to the directors that Lin Zhihuang had given yesterday.

Chun Xia came over at this time to report: "Your Majesty, General Jiang, please see me."

Lin Zhihuang opened his eyes, straightened up from the rocking chair, raised his hand to signal Lin Waanniang to stop, and said to Chunxia: "Well, please come quickly."

Lin Wanniang felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and breathed out softly, extremely grateful that Jiang Yuehe came at the right time.
