Dusk. The tall tower of Qi Mansion.

Leng Yinghua leaned on the railing facing the south and looked into the distance. Behind him were the entourage of the Qi family. The setting sun in the west reflected the world redly, but from his position he could only see the panoramic view of the garden and the high city wall in the distance.

It's just in the red. In fact, his sight has already passed these things and pointed straight to the horizon. His heart has also flown far away.

"Master Leng, it's getting late, let's go back to the house." One of them advised, "Master Qi also invited you to play chess later."

He didn't say a word for a long time. He only waited for the afterglow to fade away and the sky and the earth were dark, before he returned and climbed down the tower. When he reached the bottom floor, his heart sank suddenly: Mr. Qi was waiting for him under the tower with a smile on his face. When he saw him, he said: "Not yet."

Don't worry about your girl?"

"I don't dare. What do you want Master Qi to do?"

Mr. Qi "haha" patted his shoulder: "Where can I say 'command'? Yinghua, what are you so polite about as a family? This guy Chu Tao made conditions, Bilianzhou. I want to hear your opinion.

.”

"Sure enough, he intends to attack Fenghuo Ridge. If we really give it to him, even ten Tang Yao will not be able to withstand this flanking attack. It will be absolutely impossible for us to intervene in the south bank. If he wants to invade the north bank in one go, it will be easy.

.Isn’t that why, Mr. Qi, you took advantage of the fact that the Chu family had no time to take care of themselves?"

Mr. Qi nodded in approval: "It's just that the initiative is not in my hands now, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep this place."

"Feng Yi is proud and arrogant, but she may not be able to deal with him - with Chu Tao's personality, it will be easy to bring back Young Master Qi, but sooner or later, Bilianzhou will fight. Fortunately, Chu Tao will not fall out easily. For him,

, once the war starts, the advantage will turn into a disadvantage. How about we take a step back for now?" Mr. Qi's face immediately turned green, his eyebrows were raised sharply, his eyes were burning with anger, and his lips were tightly closed.

, his Adam's apple trembled slightly. He stared into Leng Yinghua's eyes without saying a word, waiting for Leng Yinghua to lower his head.

"This is not a clever trick!" Shen Yanfei suddenly joined in, "Master Qi, the fat in the eagle's mouth may come back?"

Mr. Qi glanced at Yan Fei and smiled lightly: "Tell me."

"Prepare for war, Mr. Qi. From what I know about him, no matter how we make concessions, he will not let go of Bilianzhou. Unless something goes wrong in Nan'an and he has no time to take care of himself."

"South Bank? What could go wrong?"

Shen Yanfei was about to speak but stopped, smiling as if he was confident.

"Isn't the biggest problem on the South Bank Jiang Shaoyun?" A loud and powerful voice came from the corner of the courtyard. Qin Shi greeted Mr. Qi with a calm pace, "But if Jiang Shaoyun becomes popular, the North Bank will not be the same."

There are many opportunities to intervene. Chu Tao pointed his sword at Fenghuoling, and he was going towards him. We can all see that Jiang Shaoyun cannot be unprepared. If he wants to intervene, now is the best time. If Mr. Qi doesn't give up,

In Bilianzhou, you can delay the negotiation with the head of Chu, take back Young Master Qi and give him a head-on attack in Bilianzhou. If my father sends someone to pretend to be a pear blossom sword again and come back to stir up trouble, great things can happen."

Mr. Qi laughed loudly and praised Qin Shi for his thoughtfulness. Then his hawk-like gaze swept over Leng Yinghua, making him shudder.

"What Brother Leng said about taking a step back probably means something similar!" Qin Shi tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Master Qi, Bilianzhou is surrounded by water. As long as the north bank is connected to the waterway and the only ferry is defended, Chu Tao will definitely not dare to attack!" Shen Yanfei suddenly became anxious and spoke hurriedly, speaking faster,

"What's more, in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if he attacks by force, he won't have any advantage. Why should we rely on the help of outsiders?"

Qin Shi inexplicably sensed some hostility and was embarrassed.

"Why should Yanfei worry so much? I already have a countermeasure." Mr. Qi did not turn around, patted Qin Shi's shoulder, greeted Shen Yanfei, and walked towards the lobby. The red lanterns like fire decorated the house.

It was a festive day, with silk and bamboo orchestra, orioles singing and dancing, mixed with the laughter and laughter. It was the Qi Mansion's grand banquet. It was Mr. Qi who was entertaining the Qin family's father and son.

Leng Yinghua stood there awkwardly for a moment, then returned to his private room.

Opening the window, the joy of the partition wall cannot enter the wall no matter what. There is only a gray earth wall in the house, a thin and hard quilt, a broken lamp that is clearly out, and a dry quilt.

There was a clean, empty table, and an outcast person who was having a hard time.

He was supposed to be the most prestigious staff member of the Qi family, but three years ago he was defeated by Chu Tao in Nan'an. Although Master Qi did not want his head, he rarely entrusted him with important matters again.

In such a situation, I'm afraid it's mostly because of Leng Fengyi's face - when Qi Leng's family got married, Fengyi's intelligence and coolness fascinated the young master Qi, and Mr. Qi also paid special attention to the future young man.

Madam, she even did not hesitate to delegate her power and let him do whatever he wanted. On the north bank, Leng Fengyi ran between the interests of various factions with ease and never let Master Qi down.

But this time her opponent is Chu Tao! Leng Yinghua sighed heavily.

The cold wind brought a burst of pipa music, which made me feel lonely and sad. I put on my cloak, pushed the door open, moved my legs and feet, and headed towards the place where the sound of the piano started.

It was deep in the garden, in a small pavilion.

Walking through the winding corridor, parting the cloud-like gauze curtains, until under the last gauze curtain. Leng Yinghua was afraid of being disturbed, so she hid quietly behind the pillars. A few lanterns dotted the dark background, and the pavilion

The candlestick shines with dim yellow light, dimly reflecting the outline of the string player. Behind the gauze curtain is a gentle smile like a flower? Or is it a slightly sad face of melancholy? I guess they are both lonely people under the moon.

The sound of this song is somewhat similar to that of his younger sister. The image that is always on his mind emerges very clearly in front of his eyes - it is a face with tears stains and a face as proud as pear blossoms. I don't know that his stubborn and unusual sister

How will Chu Tao treat her at Nan'an? How will she feel when old things are brought up again and the situation is sad?

He knew very well that Fengyi only obeyed Master Qi for the sake of the Leng family. He was ashamed, but he was extremely grateful to have such a considerate, affectionate sister who dared to take on the responsibility.

Perhaps he was so intoxicated that he didn't come back to his senses until the music suddenly stopped. He saw a shy figure hurriedly escaping into the night holding the pipa, and there were two more people behind him.

Qin Shi smiled and said: "Brother Leng is listening to music here! Those at the banquet are not in tune with me, and I am so bored. I am looking for someone to play chess with, but I can't find Brother Leng anywhere. I didn't expect that he is here."

..." Shen Yanfei's frosty face faced the two of them. Leng Yinghua hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I heard the sound of the pipa played by the young lady, and walked in unconsciously. I was not trespassing. Please forgive me." Qin Shi didn't know what was going on, and his eyes condensed.

In the direction Zijun left, he couldn't take it back for a long time: "Yan Fei, who was this just now?"

"Master Qi's adopted daughter, the second young lady of the Qi family, her name is Zijun." Shen Yanfei introduced her word by word, and at the same time stretched out his arms and pointed outside the hospital.

"Let's go and play chess at my place!" Leng Yinghua tugged on Qin Shi's sleeve and took him out directly. Shen Yanfei's soft voice sounded behind him: "You are disturbing Miss, Yanfei is negligent in his duty." Qin Shi sighed slightly,
