Chapter 11
The snow has stopped falling at the end of winter, and in spring a few trees that have just sprouted are rustling in the backyard with the sound of wind.

There was a lot of people in front of the inn. Because of Wen Yuanzhi's few recipes, not many people came to stay at Erquan's inn, but there were more people coming to look for food, more than the diners in the city who specially made banquets for people.

The yard behind the inn was empty. Wen Yuanzhi only walked in it on weekdays. It was overgrown with weeds at first. But after Gou Yue came here several times carrying a knife for cutting pigweed, the weeds became much less numerous and he could It makes people feel helpless.

The sound of falling pieces on the chessboard in the backyard was like rain and the sound of a piano. In the deep courtyard, only Gou Yue and Wen Yuan sat opposite each other.

Gou Yue never liked playing chess and wanted to get up after sitting for a while.

"Sit down and stay with me for a while longer, Miss Ruru, or Miss Ruoshui?"

Wenyuan didn't even raise his head.

"I didn't come here to play chess with you!"

"Then what are you here for?"

Gou Yue swallowed her words immediately. She wanted to look at him from side to side. There should be no difference between following him and following him. He didn't know her true identity anyway.

"You just won't pursue the matter regarding Gao Naiyuan?"

"Er Quan is living a good life now, isn't he? He caused trouble and the futility of his efforts has affected his family. Besides, this is not a good time to take action. The location is favorable, the people are in the right place, and no one can take advantage of it."

Gou Yue clenched her fists, "He killed so many people, so let him go?"

The nails have dug into the flesh.

Wen Yuanzhi surrounded her Heizi and said, "If you don't take it seriously, this place will all belong to me."

Gou Yue grabbed two chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.

admit defeat.

"I can't beat you all the time. Even if I try again countless times, my plans are not as good as yours. Go is different from martial arts. I don't have any talent."

"Don't you like playing chess?"

He looked at Gou Yue, his eyes seemed to be digging a hole into her.

"Are you looking at me or someone else?"

"The person in front of me," he said.

Gou Yue had no intention of pursuing it. After this mission, he should never see this consumption ghost again.

"Gao Nai comes to assassinate you. You won't let him go, right?"

“How come you see?”

"It's nothing. I always feel that you are a person who is bound to retaliate. What Gao Naiyuan did to you, you must find an opportunity to take revenge."

"You're wrong about this. I'm not that stingy. Someone wanted to kill me before, but I let others go easily."

"Who?"

His finger pointed to the sky.

"God?"

"Hahahahahahaha, if he wanted to kill me, I would have died a long time ago. I'm talking about the emperor."

Gou Yue's eyes widened, "Have you ever met the emperor?"

Hey, what nonsense is she talking about? This person is the former Prime Minister, one person is worth ten thousand people.

"I have seen."

"how does he look like?"

"Just like you, two eyes and one nose."

"That's not what I asked."

"Have you seen the Dachu man?"

"Brave and rugged, Kong Wu is powerful."

"Yes, he is. He can shoot eagles with his bow and tame horses with his body."

"Is it possible that the reinforcement you are looking for this time is the Emperor?"

Wen Yuanzhi's eyebrows jumped. How could she think of Tianwai? "I already told him that he wanted to kill me, so why would he help me?"

"Then when you wrote a letter last time, which friend of yours were you writing to?"

"A few years ago, the people of Nanyan fought a battle with the Ruozhi people. A general intimidated the enemy and drove the Ruozhi people out of Dayan's territory in less than half a month."

"I've heard that his name is Shen... what is Shen?"

"Chen Sang." Wen Yuan said.

"He is your old friend?" "Yes, I asked him to help."

Gou Yue thought to herself, you are already in ruins, why would anyone think highly of you?

"You don't believe he will help me?" Wen Yuanzhi saw her thoughts.

"Why would such a dignified general come out to help you?"

"Nowadays, the world is dominated by the Chu people. He is unwilling to work hard for the Chu people, so he resigned early. The emperor sent people to ask him to come out many times, but he refused. But, when I say it, he is eight out of ten Jiu will not refute my face."

Gou Yue smiled and said, "That's not a small tone."

"It's normal for a man of great ability to speak loudly." Wen Yuanzhi also smiled.

He tapped the chessboard with his chess hand, "How about another game?"

Gou Yue looked at his fingers along the chessboard. They were long and strong, with distinct joints. She seemed to still remember how cold his hands were in winter.

She picked up a chess piece and laughed suddenly.

"Why are you laughing at me again?"

"I'm laughing at how many red sleeves you've held in your hands. Now you're holding chess, and you don't seem to be a bit romantic at all."

Wen Yuanzhi was a little unhappy, "I told you I was just teasing you last time. I know you were behind my carriage."

Gou Yue nodded, "Actually, you don't have to explain to me."

He changed the subject and said, "I don't know if I, the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon, can beat you."

He wanted to explain again, but when he saw that Gou Yue was not interested, he said with a forced smile, "It's easy to win. Whenever I get upset, you win."

"Then when will you get upset?"

Wen Yuan said, "I can't tell you this."

Gou Yue didn't ask further questions and just said to herself, "You will be distracted when playing chess, but I won't be distracted when holding a sword, because if you are distracted or distracted, your life will be gone."

Wen Yuanzhi looked at her, "Do you like this kind of life?"

"I don't like the days of fighting in the rivers and lakes, but people always have a mission in life. I haven't figured out why I want to live such a life."

"Do you want to change your life?"

"What kind of way of life? A way of life like you, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?" she said deliberately.

Wen Yuanzhi laughed so hard, "Have you ever seen me eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?"

"That's what I guessed. Erquan invited you to drink, and you never refused. You also visited brothels. You often asked me if I wanted to bet with you, so I guessed that you were proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling."

Wen Yuanzhi did not deny it.

"Did you do the same when she was here?"

"Who?"

"Your wife."

Wen Yuanzhi's hand holding the chess piece paused, "No."

"She knew I was like this, so she would definitely grab my ears and beat me."

"Oh, so she's a tigress."

Wen Yuanzhi said no, "She only behaves like this when she is extremely angry. She is not usually very outgoing."

"When you got married, did you promise to stay together forever?"

"Of course, why do you ask about this?"

"I just don't understand that a lifelong promise will automatically become invalid with the death of one party."

Wen Yuanzhi lowered his eyes, "It's been a long time."

"It's been so long that you can't remember what she looks like?"

"I can recognize her when she turns to ashes."

Gou Yue smiled, "Death is like a lamp going out. Even if you say you remember it now, maybe ten years later you won't even be able to remember how many moles she had on her face."

Wen Yuanzhi put down two chess pieces.

"you win."

She knew that if he did this, he would be very upset.
