Chapter 67

Panlong Lake is the confluence of many rivers, which can be described as the center of the water flow in a province. Even at night, merchant ships cruise like crucian carp, and the flow is endless.

There were some boats docked on the shore of the lake. Su Ziji glanced and found a boat. He quickly negotiated the price of going to Linhua County, jumped on the boat, and asked him to take him to the boat to pick up people.

Even if there is an accident, Huafang is still the first choice for gatherings, because each floor can accommodate more than a dozen tables, and life is comfortable. More importantly, a Huafang is a hidden world, giving consumers a sense of security.

The boat leaned up and climbed up the side of the boat. Because the people on the boat were the organizers of the chess game, they basically knew Su Ziji, and as soon as they got on board, they heard the news.

"Ye Buhui is still playing chess?"

"Yes!" The person who was asked was envious: "Du Qisheng is playing guiding chess with Miss Ye, it's a pity I can't witness this scene, hey!"

"Du Chess Master? In such a government chess club, a chess master came unexpectedly?" Su Ziji was surprised.

Du Chess Master is called Du Chenglin, he is good at chess, he was a chess master during the Qingwu period, although he doesn't care much about chess skills and doesn't know much about chess games, but he still knows the status of this person in the chess player.

Such a person, even if they appear in the Beijing competition, will cause a sensation, let alone just a small government competition?

How can the local chess player He De attract such a person to play guiding chess?

"But it's a pity, no matter what the reason for coming here, to be able to play chess with a chess master is an honor for a chess player, and I don't regret it, I am afraid that I will miss this opportunity."

Su Ziji felt sorry for Ye Buhui, but now Uncle Ye is critically ill, if Ye Buhui doesn't go back immediately, he might not be able to see him for the last time, which would be an even greater regret.

Su Ziji hurriedly walked through the corridor. He hoped that when he passed, the guide chess had already been played. In this case, he would not delay his return immediately, and would not leave Ye Buhui with regrets.

But when one arrives in the cabin, dozens of chess players or scholars gather together like stars and moons, and there are also pretty maids, all of them embroidered skirts, which seem to have been carefully selected.

When Su Ziji looked inside, he saw a set of chess in the middle, and the guiding chess was just halfway through, which was the highlight.

Several people stood around, among them were those who were on one side of the chess game, and they were obsessed with watching a man and a woman play chess.

The man was in his 40s, tall and thin, handsome, with a green shirt and short beard. He looked familiar, as if he had seen it before at the hotel.

The girl sat upright, holding her breath and concentrating, she was still calm, but from the sweat on her forehead, it could be seen that she was already at a disadvantage.

But being able to play against the Chess Master for so long and barely maintain her own situation, although guiding chess itself is to guide the opponent, it also proves that the girl has good talent and is not weak.

Quite a few of the chess spectators guessed that they had switched places with the girl, and found that they were sitting in the girl's position, and they might have gone astray in the first few steps.

As expected of a chess master!

Worthy of being the winner of this competition!

"My lord, there is a chess game ahead, you can't go any further." Seeing Su Ziji squeezed out of the crowd to go to the middle, someone stopped him politely.

"Sorry, the chess player is someone I know." Seeing that the person who blocked him was a follower, and he had not met him on the boat, Su Ziji guessed that the person brought by the chess master apologized and explained, raising his voice slightly.

"Her father is seriously ill. Someone brought a letter and told us to go back quickly..."

These words were not only heard by the person blocking, but also heard by the two people who were playing chess and looked over.

"Su Ziji, something happened to my father?" Ye Buhui was thinking hard, when he heard this, the piece in his hand landed on the board with a thud, stood up, and the guiding chess that was halfway through the game suddenly fell apart.

How could Ye Buhui care about playing chess at this moment?

"Hey!" Du Chenglin, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not a game, fate is like this, little girl, since your father is seriously ill, you should go back quickly, I only hope that I can see you again in Beijing."

Ye Buhui turned pale, forced a smile to Fuli, thanked the guide, and ran out following Su Ziji.

"The things have been packed. Check if there is anything missing. The boat is waiting outside. Let's rush back overnight." Seeing that she was in a state of confusion, Su Ziji persuaded: "When I get on the boat, I will talk to you slowly." you say."

"Yeah!" Knowing that there is still time to ask questions on the way, it is important to hurry up and pack your luggage. Ye Buhui didn't even write, so he went to the cabin immediately, checked the luggage very quickly, and said in a deep voice before it was time for a cup of tea: "No Wrong, let the boatman sail the boat!"

"Hey!" The little fox's voice suddenly came from behind, and the little fox who didn't know where to go ran after him.

Ye Buhui glanced back at it, and looked at Su Ziji hesitantly.

Su Ziji sighed: "Since it is willing to follow, let's take it."

Ye Buhui bent down, and the little fox jumped into her arms quite spiritually, and the two ordered the boat to sail.

This boat has a semi-covered cabin, barely sheltered from the wind and rain, compared with the boat of Yu's family where they lived when they came, it is not so good.

But now it is not easy to have a boat willing to carry it back overnight, so where is there room for choice?

"The boat is sailing." The boatman shouted, and as the boat moved, Su Ziji sat silently, looking at Ye Buhui.

Ye Buhui was trembling slightly at this time, hugging the little fox tightly, as if absorbing warmth, Su Ziji couldn't help sighing, and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Ye's illness will definitely not be serious, take care Take care of your body and you will be fine."

Ye Buhui trembled, and raised his head. In an instant, Su Ziji saw her lips trembling, her face was extremely pale, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes. This expression made Su Ziji unable to say anything to comfort her.

The child wants to support but the parent is not there, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, life is so difficult.

Fucheng · Station

A few soldiers were patrolling the narrow and low post station, their spurs and sabers clinking, looking murderous.

Fang Zhen looked at the document and frowned slightly.

"Young Lord, all the children in this age group who participated in the government examination in this province are here, a total of 11 of them." Gao Yaochen whispered: "Also, Su Ziji, whom you pay special attention to, was killed last night. Take the boat out of town and go home."

"Oh, so fast, he didn't wait for the list, he left on the same day?" Fang Zhen scanned the list, and the first one was Su Ziji, a little suspicious: "Is this trying to escape?"

"It's not impossible, young master, do you want to intercept it?" Gao Yaochen asked immediately.

"Don't be in a hurry." Fang Zhen thought for a while and said, "Isn't the news about the imperial examination out yet?"

"I have already sent someone to enter the examination hall with the king's order card. If there is any news, I will pass it on immediately." The examination room is an important place for the imperial court, and only with this can you enter and exit.

As soon as he was speaking, a person rushed over, knelt down on one knee and reported: "The news from the examination institute, the second trial has passed, and Su Ziji is tentatively determined to be the fourth."

"Okay, okay!" Fang Zhen smiled and nodded with his fan: "It's better than I imagined. If I don't have Zhongxiucai, it will be difficult for me to operate."

"Since you've won, it's still the fourth place. Immediately send me an order—let this person be the chief case."
