Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

When the fragrance of orchids entered his nose, Bei Tangjin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly raised his head to look carefully at the person in front of him.

That person has a beautiful face with dark hair, emerald eyebrows and starry eyes. He smiles gracefully and calmly, with a pair of black eyes shining with a gloomy light. In a trance, it seems that the warm wind from the deep night is blowing over the tip of her heart. It took her breath away.

"Why doesn't Yu Rong let her go?" The beautiful woman opposite her has slightly red cheeks, like the rays of the sun, her eyebrows are slightly frowned like emerald greens in the distant mountains, and a thin rim of water eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of frost in the past suddenly split open. The gap, along that gap, reveals a trace of tenderness.

Feng Xitang couldn't help being surprised, General Yurong, who is as cold as ice, with a heart like a rock, is indestructible, does he also have a gentle and affectionate side?Could it be that I read it wrong!

Indeed, when he looked carefully again, those watery eyes were still sparkling, flawless like jade, without a single crack.

Was it wrong? !Feng Xichen thought so.

Bei Tangjin has quickly looked away, she knows that she just lost her composure, it's not that Feng Xitang is so handsome, of course, she admits that this man is very beautiful, it is not an exaggeration to call him the most beautiful man in Dadu.

It was the orchid fragrance on his body, as if he had smelled it somewhere, very familiar and kind, this fragrance always reminded her of Princess Yongchang's smile, like the spring breeze blowing across the frozen lake, it was extremely soft and warm.However, this fragrance is slightly different from the fragrance on Princess Yongchang's body. The orchid fragrance is mixed with a trace of sweetness, which is fresh and refreshing.

Randomly dropping a piece on the chessboard, Bei Tangjin lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Feng Xitang, for she was afraid of revealing her soft side.

No longer pursuing Bei Tang Jin's strangeness just now, Feng Xitang also followed suit.

"Oh, you didn't even wait for me!" The ferocious man's voice came from next to his ear, like a soft catkin knocking on the wall of an ancient temple, and his body was already soft and boneless.

Bei Tangjin looked sideways, and saw that Hua Jianyue had already changed into another outfit.

He was wearing a jade crown, a bright red brocade robe, three sachets around his waist, a crescent-shaped jade pendant, and a snuff bottle lightly held in Bai Yu's hand.

The prosperity and splendor of the snuff bottle attracted Bei Tangjin's attention, making her look up and take a closer look.

It is made of enamel and metal tires as the main material.On the whole, the snuff bottle looks like a purse, and then the black glaze is painted with enamel paint to form a large peony in full bloom. The color of the peony is bright and vivid, and the painting is delicate and vivid, just like the real thing.

And this brightly glazed snuff bottle just complemented his bright red robe, as if they were one.

His smile is like a peony in full bloom, his voice is like spring water hitting a rock, he is as beautiful as a flower, enchanting and charming, and he is as enchanting as a fairy.

"Hey! Look at this man! He's wearing such eye-catching clothes again, he doesn't even know he's a man anymore!" Feng Xitang sighed lightly, feeling very helpless, but there was a trace of teasing at the corner of his mouth .

Hua Jianyue looked very innocent, but she was extremely intelligent. A big crack appeared on her beautiful face just now, destroying his flowery face, and she scolded in a cold voice: "Shut up! You're not dressed in purple!"

In fact, just now Feng Xitang said that Hua Jianyue doesn't look like a man, so of course Hua Jianyue replied to him, you said I don't look like a man, what about you?It's really laughing at a hundred steps with fifty steps!hateful!

Hua Jianyue really wanted to smash Feng Xichen's graceful face with her fist, but she took a look at Bei Tangjin and withdrew her fist resentfully. If there were guests, he would just be magnanimous once and not care about him!

Bei Tangjin shook her head helplessly, and looked away. Hua Jianyue looked very innocent, like a naughty child, but what about his heart?Not necessarily?It's like he and Feng Xitang sang a double reed, unknowingly leading her into a trap, but when she found out, she knew it was a trap, but she had no choice but to jump into it.

Therefore, Hua Jianyue's superficial innocence may be just a mask to hide his deep thoughts.

Bei Tangjin was still silent, at this moment, Hua Jianyue had already approached him, he smiled harmlessly, his eyes were pure, but when he smiled so flirtatiously, it made your heart beat like a "thump".

"Yurong, look quickly! How about my outfit? Is it more gorgeous and gorgeous than your rose moiré brocade gown?" Hua Jianyue said happily, and then turned around in front of her, completely Like an innocent child who got a baby.

She remembered that they had just met!Is Hua Jianyue too hot to go too far?

However, Hua Jianyue is the Duke of the country after all, and she can't make people think that she is a hot face with a cold butt, so Bei Tangjin smiled slightly and said: "The figure of the Duke is enchanting, just like the one in the "Book of Songs". She said, 'Qiaoxiaoqianxi, beautiful eyes looking forward'." Bei Tangjin said flatteringly, her voice was also very soft, and her eyes were full of admiration.

However, Hua Jianyue was obviously unhappy, and said: "Yurong! Isn't this a description of a beauty! I'm a big man! It should be wise and powerful, suave and romantic!"

When Feng Xitang heard the words "wise and powerful" and "suave and romantic", he couldn't help but burst out laughing, his face was still elegant, and said: "You are obviously a moth-headed brow, with a slender waist like yours. Liu, smiling sweetly, beautiful like a flower, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with being wise and powerful!" After he finished speaking, he actually laughed out loud, his voice was clear and charming, it didn't look like he was mocking someone at all, he was elegant His handsome appearance and Ru Lan's temperament made his whole face still graceful.

Hua Jianyue's face was already flushed, obviously she was extremely angry, he rolled up his sleeves with white jade fingers, and then looked him up and down, Ruhua's face was stained with a touch of pity, as if he felt that his beautiful clothes were really Wouldn't it be a pity to break hands with Feng Xitang? Thinking of this, his glass-like eyeballs had turned countless times, but finally he snorted coldly. Sitting sideways, you can just watch the whole chess game.

With a deep apology on Bei Tangjin's face, she said, "Yurong was really rude just now. Yurong just thought that you are indeed beautiful and coquettish, and you can win the hearts of all the people in the world." Bei Tangjin's voice was extremely respectful. And apologetic, the coldness in his eyes receded by three points.So when Hua Jianyue went to see it, she said happily: "Yurong, your smile just now is so beautiful!"

As if she had forgotten the unhappiness just now, Hua Jianyue looked Bei Tangjin up and down, only to see that her face was still jade-like without makeup, as clear as a snow lotus in full bloom on the top of a snow-capped mountain. There are three points of gorgeousness, such as roses in full bloom, bright and dripping blood.

"Yurong is such a rare beauty!" Hua Jianyue praised sincerely, her long and narrow eyes like a fairy stared at Bei Tangjin for a moment, making you feel that all your bones are loose.

If it wasn't for her natural indifference, Bei Tang Jin would have been taken away by him!

"Yurong, don't show him a smiling face, he won't be able to walk when he sees a beautiful woman!" Feng Xitang picked up the elegant teacup painted with golden glaze as a chrysanthemum, took a sip, and said with a graceful smile .

"Nonsense! Yurong, don't listen to his nonsense, I really admire your beauty! When I saw you today, I was shocked!" He glared at Feng Xitang angrily when he started talking, and when he talked about Bei Tangjin , a layer of tenderness and admiration quickly surfaced on the flirtatious face.

Bei Tangjin watched these two people quarreling, and she was really uncomfortable being in the middle. She smiled and said, "Yurong also admires the beauty of the Duke."

When Hua Jianyue heard the words, a smile bloomed on her flirtatious face, then raised her eyebrows, and said, "Yu Rong, don't be a duke, you look so old when you call me a duke, it's only for old uncles." Title, you can just call me An Chen!"

Bei Tangjin frowned, didn't you just hope that you were wise and mighty?Doesn't the Duke sound very brave?It's just that she thought so in her heart, but said kindly: "Yurong has written it down."

It was interrupted by Hua Jianyue just now, and a few pieces had just been dropped on the chessboard. Bei Tangjin took a glance and found that Feng Xitang was just like the old man Langxian, the pieces were in a mess, one for a while, and the other for a while. , Eight poles have nothing to do with each other.

This man's personality is too weird!Don't play cards according to common sense!Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that such a mind can think of Hua Jianyue pretending to be a woman to test her.

"Yurong, I'll stand by for you! Prevent you from being fooled by this cunning fox!" Hua Jianyue looked at the chessboard, her voice was full of anger, as if she hated Feng Xichen very much!

Feng Xitang sighed indifferently, and said: "You are a real gentleman who watches chess without speaking, you have to pretend to be dumb!" His voice was extremely harsh, but his face was still elegant and noble, as if the words just now didn't come out of his mouth at all. .

Hua Jianyue just glared at Feng Xitang, then really shut up resentfully.

Bei Tangjin couldn't help wondering, was Hua Jianyue intimidated by Feng Xitang?Shouldn't it be?Will he be afraid of Feng Xichen?No matter how you look at it, the relationship between the two is like friends who can sleep together.

A sneer slid across the corner of her mouth, and Bei Tangjin sneered again. Perhaps, she will know the answer in a while!

Put down the bait and wait for the fish to take the bait!

Bei Tangjin thought so.

In the beginning, both of them made moves very quickly, Bei Tangjin made a move, Feng Xitang quickly followed suit without thinking for a moment, and Bei Tangjin did the same, and when the game was halfway through, the two made a move. Slow down.

Feng Xi's chess skills are strange, and he likes to hit east and west to disturb your eyes. This is very similar to Lang Xian's technique.

When playing chess with Lang Xian, she was careful every step of the way, and it was the same this time.She is not good at the chess skills of the monster thief, so even if she can see through a person's character through playing chess, she is still step by step. She is not afraid of being seen through. She has weaknesses, but she will not easily appear on the chess game, as long as this is hidden. , then she wins.

Feng Xitang made another drop, and Bei Tangjin couldn't help but suffocate. This shot blocked her layout in the southeast corner, and almost made all her arrangements come to naught.She quickly looked at the chessboard, pondered, looking for Feng Xitang's flaws.

At this moment, Feng Xichen raised her eyes and looked at Bei Tangjin with a graceful smile on her lips.

She likes the tense look of this woman, her face full of crisis is always pleasing to the eye, and it just satisfies the desire that arises in his heart.

"Yurong's chess skills are so good, it's on par with me. It's a great honor to be able to play chess with Yurong." Feng Xitang stared intently at the shallow wrinkles between Bei Tangjin's brows, feeling quite a sense of enjoyment , as if what is in front of you is not a beauty, but a delicious meal, it is very appetizing to watch.

Bei Tangjin was trying her best to think about how to solve it, and she didn't have the mind to pay attention to Feng Xitang at all. She just replied indifferently: "Yu Rong has never played a few games of chess." She was telling the truth. Chess, when she was learning to play chess, it was entirely for the entertainment of her master Jing Zhen.

Feng Xichen frowned, and said: "Didn't you just get enlightened?" If she was so good at playing chess just now, then how smart she must be, so smart that people have a sense of fear.

Bei Tangjin smiled and said, "It's because I haven't played chess with other people a few times, but only with the master." The military camp is busy with affairs, and she has no time to play chess at all. She spends most of her time studying the art of war and formation.

Feng Xitang knew that Bei Tangjin's master was Master Jingzhen, and it was said that to be this old man's apprentice, one had to endure his endless torture and abuse.There was once such a rumor that a man wanted to worship Jing Zhen as his master, but Jing Zhen just looked at the man coldly, pointed to a small hill, and said: "If you move this mountain away, I will take you disciple."

When the man heard this, he was shocked. He looked at the mountain and thought, if the mountain was removed, he would become a gray-haired old man!Even if you can learn the real skills, it is too late in your twilight years!

Therefore, after hearing Jing Zhen's words, the man returned angrily.

Therefore, so far, Jing Zhen has very few disciples. It is rumored in the world that Jing Zhen is very powerful, and he is called a master of the world. Also like this?He has a weird temper and has a hobby of torturing people.

Therefore, thinking of this, Feng Xitang had a little sympathy for Bei Tangjin, and said: "It's not easy to be Jingzhen's apprentice, did you also ask you to do Yugong Yishan's errand when you were apprenticed?"

Bei Tangjin's heart was all on the chessboard, she didn't know what Feng Xitang said, and she said in a calm voice: "The master is only testing a person's talent, he never teaches stupid apprentices, because he thinks , that was a waste of his mind and a cruel torture to himself, therefore, when he accepts apprentices, regardless of whether they are good or bad, their aptitude must be good."

Seeing that Bei Tangjin leaked Jingzhen's temper so easily, Feng Xicheng Rulan's face showed a smug look, which was very faint.

Both Hua Jianyue and Bei Tangjin were observing the chess game, but they didn't notice it.

"How did Yugong Yishan break down?" This is what Feng Xitang is extremely curious about. Bei Tangjin was only a five-year-old girl when she was apprenticed to a teacher, and asking her to move the rocks on the mountain is like trying to catch a duck!She can't even lift a small rock!

The corner of Bei Tangjin's mouth showed a smug look, and said, "The so-called Yugong Yishan is just Yugong moving people!"

"Foolish Old Man Moves People?" What is this saying?

Bei Tangjin smiled and said, "Master said back then that this mountain is an eyesore for me, if you move him away, I will take you as my disciple!" Beads of sweat had already oozed from the palms of his hands, and Bei Tangjin finally fell down. He took the heavy blow, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, although Feng Xitang didn't guess what "Foolish Old Man Yiren" was, she didn't ask any further, because Bei Tangjin was in a clear mind at this time, if he asked again, she might have discovered his real intention.

Of course, he didn't ask any substantive questions just now, he was just testing her.

See if she gets a little confused when she is thinking hard, and says what she shouldn't say.As a result, her mind was indeed a little unclear, and she actually revealed Jing Zhen's secret character, which is a big taboo among teachers!Therefore, his trick was not in vain.

Feng Xitang didn't ask what is "Yugong Yiren" and Bei Tangjin didn't rush to answer, the two seemed to have forgotten this question.

Now that Bei Tangjin has made a move, Feng Xitang's gaze returned to the chessboard, and she saw that Bei Tangjin did not block his attack, as if she didn't want the southeast corner she carefully arranged, like an abandoned chessboard. The emperor of Jiangshan rode his horse and fled.

Feng Xitang was very surprised, didn't Bei Tangjin want the southeast corner?What the hell is she going to do?

When thinking this way, Feng Xitang raised her eyes and glanced at the woman opposite, only to see that she still had a cold expression on her face, she took a sip of tea lightly, her expression was actually relaxed.

Then Bei Tangjin should not have abandoned the southeast corner, but had a better way to turn defeat into victory.

Feng Xitang quickly glanced at the whole chess game, Bei Tangjin made sure every step of the way, he attacked her and defended, she rarely took the initiative to attack, she always waited for him to show a flaw, and tore open a big hole without you noticing it. Kouzi, make you too weak to guard against!

Therefore, Bei Tangjin must have discovered his flaw, but where is his flaw?He didn't even see it himself.

At this time, it was Bei Tangjin who smiled lightly and relaxed. She looked at Feng Xichen who was contemplating carefully, and said, "His Royal Highness Ming Wang seems to have a very good relationship with the First Prince." Guess, since the eldest prince can get Feng Xitang's chessboard, it means that the two must not be casual acquaintances.

"I have little contact with the eldest prince." Feng Xitang said indifferently. When he said this, he suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Bei Tangjin, as if he had discovered some secret, the corner of his mouth curled up, and then he turned his eyes back to the board.

Tell her in one sentence that he has no friendship with the First Prince.

Bei Tangjin became even more skeptical. Since he has no friendship, it is unreasonable to give away his beloved chessboard, right?She even wondered if Feng Xitang was lying?However, after careful consideration, it is true that Feng Xitang has very little contact with the eldest prince.

Perhaps she was thinking too much, although she always felt that the flaws always lay in the details, but this time it seemed that she wasted her mind on getting to the bottom of it.

After thinking for a while, Feng Xitang finally discovered his own flaw, so he quickly dropped the chess pieces, and the tendency was still to attack, while Bei Tangjin was still at a disadvantage.

Looking at the chess pieces that Feng Xitang dropped, Bei Tangjin was surprised, and fine beads of sweat had already oozed from his forehead.
