It’s been a long game of chess.
In contrast to his usual style of chess, every move of the old gentleman was a trap, and Song Yin would lose if he was not careful.
Song Wan Yue sat on the side and watched carefully.
It looked like her great-grandfather was playing chess with Song Yin, but in fact he was teaching them how to deal with the game after they returned to the capital.
Song Yin also played carefully, considering every move he made, looking at ten or even twenty moves to make sure he would not fall into a trap before making a move.
The old gentleman looked unmoved, but his eyes were full of appreciation, and at the same time, his heart was at ease. With such a meticulous mind, even if he encountered an unexpected situation, he would be able to solve it properly.
When it was dark, Xu Liang came in to light the lamp, and the old gentleman dropped his last piece. He had not drunk any water for two hours, and his voice was a little hoarse, “After you enter the capital, you must not rush into anything, it doesn’t matter if it takes longer, as I am here, the family will be fine.”
Song Wan Yue got up and poured the tea, the old man took it and drained it in one gulp.
He looked at the two of them, one was his favourite great-granddaughter, the other was the beloved son of the King of Qin, they should have been two people who were not even close to each other, but they were brought together by God.
The topic changed, “You are sixteen years old, right?”
“Yes.”
“Yue’er is thirteen, three years younger than you, if it works out, you’ll regain your identity ……”
“Grand great-grandfather, don’t worry, I only want Yue’er in my life.”
That’s what the old man wanted.
If they lost, all of them would have to go to the guillotine, and all of them would go to the Yellow Spring together; if they won, Song Yin would regain his identity, and he would be a member of the royal family, and might be able to take that position. If Song Yin is forced to marry someone else and give Yue a side concubine position, neither he nor Yue will accept it.
“The first thing you should do is to remember what you said today, and if you dare to disobey me, I will tell the world what you said today.”
……
It was late at night and silent inside the Wei Yuan Dart Station.
Qi Yuan was sitting in the back room, waiting for Qi Ying to come over.
As long as Song Wan Yue and Song Yin were gone, the rest of the Song family would be nothing to fear. He would take them all to the graves of his father and elder brother and sacrifice them with the blood of the Song family.
The two figures leapt into the dartboard and silently reached the backyard.
Song Yin kicked up a stone and it hit the door with a bang.
Qi Yuan was startled and grabbed the sword on the table, “Who is it?”
No one answered.
Qi Yuan grabbed the sword, blew out the light, walked slowly to the door and looked out through the crack.
Under the moonlight, a man and a woman stood in the courtyard, the woman was younger, but had a charming appearance, the man ……
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
“Chu Yunxiao, it really is you!”
Song Yin held Song Wan Yue in one hand, his voice was light, “Since you escaped back then, you should have found a hole to hide and live like a mouse.”
“Cut the crap!”
Qi Yuan rose up in the air, and the long sword in his hand went towards Song Yin with a mountainous killing intent.
Song Yin let go of Song Wan Yue’s hand and had a short sword in his hand, which suddenly disappeared the moment it reached his body.
Before he could see Song Yin, he fell forward and landed heavily on the ground, gurgling blood flowing from his neck and quickly staining the ground.
Song Yin didn’t even look at him, he took Song Wan Yue’s hand again, “Let’s go.”
At the same time, Qi Ying had also nudged Song San Xiao’s sleeping point and came towards the dartboard.
Song Wan Yue and Song Yin were not escorted to the capital, and she was very uneasy in her heart. The two old men from the Song family hadn’t gotten their hands on them either, so she had to give her second brother a consultation on what to do next.
She leapt up the wall, jumped down and went straight to the backyard. Just as she entered the courtyard where Qi Yuan lived, she smelled the faint smell of blood.
There was no answer, and the house was deadly quiet.
Qi Ying couldn’t help but grab her own lapel and slowly walk up step by step. After just a few steps, she saw a man lying on the ground, his blood already staining the ground beneath him red.
The moonlight was faint, but Qi Ying could still see the clothes of the person lying on the ground, which was what her second brother had been wearing.
The cold wind blew and the dry grass in the courtyard rattled, and Qi Ying was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Qi Ying sat limply on the floor, blood instantly staining her dress red.
She wanted to cry, to yell, to scream, to freak out.
It shouldn’t have been like this …… It should have been Chu Yunxiao who died! It was Song Wangyue! It was Song San Xiao! It was the Song family group! It shouldn’t have been her second brother.
“Ah ……”
……
Song San Xiao woke up with a jolt and what caught his eyes was the faces of Song Wan Yue and Song Yin, he popped up and sat up in shock, “You, you guys ……”
Before he could finish his sentence, he realized that there was nothing around him, and when he turned his head, he saw that Qi Ying was nowhere to be seen.
“We didn’t touch her, she lit your sleeping point and went to the dart board to find her second brother.”
Song San Xiao thought he had heard a nightmare, the Qi family had been dead for how many years, how could Yingzi have gone to the dart board to find her second brother.
“Yue’er, you, what are you talking about? Third Uncle can’t understand.”
Song Yin hooked a stool for Song Wan Yue to sit on, and he stood beside her.
Song Wan Yue looked at Song San Xiao and her tone was low, “Third Uncle doesn’t know that back then, the people from the dart board weren’t killed by their enemies, but they were all killed instead when they went to kill the Gu family.”
Song San Xiao doubted that he had heard wrong, the people from the dart board went to kill the Gu family, why?
“Because Gu Yi is not Master Gu’s son, he is Chu Yunxiao, son of King Qin. Before the current Emperor succeeded to the throne, Qi Ying’s maternal grandfather’s family assisted the Emperor to seize the throne, and it was King Qin who suppressed it with his illness and sent all of Qi Ying’s maternal grandfather’s family to prison. Qi Ying’s mother and aunt went to visit relatives to avoid being killed, and they settled the score on King Qin, who was later killed, so they kept looking for Chu Yunxiao to kill him and make King Qin extinct.”
Song San Xiao’s mouth was half open, he could understand every word Yue Er said, why did he not understand it when it was grouped together? What Qinwang, what Chu Yunxiao, what seizure of the throne?
“Yue’er, this, these can, can’t, can’t talk nonsense, this, this is to, to be killed.”
“Back then, Qi Ying was suspicious from the first moment she saw Gu Yi, that’s why her parents later found the opportunity to go to our house to confirm, Qi Ying doesn’t have you in her heart at all, she also approached you just to confirm.”
