Chapter 24 Threats(1/2)

Fatty, please give me a monthly ticket

****

"A Yao, you know me the most.⊥," Yang Ge Lao patted Aunt Zhong's hand and signaled Aunt Zhong to come to him. "Put out the chess game just now for me to see."

Aunt Zhong immediately responded, and took out the chessboard and chess pieces lightly. In a while, she put out the chess game that Yang Ge Lao and Ji Xiaotang had just played on the pavilion on the hill.

Just after placing the last few chess pieces, Aunt Zhong's hand slowed down.

Mr. Yang Ge was puzzled and asked Aunt Zhong with his eyes. He deliberately set up the endgame and waited for Ji Xiaotang to come. Aunt Zhong knew the endgame and received his instructions.

With Aunt Zhong's intelligence, she will definitely remember the final chess game clearly and will not have such hesitation.

"Brother Yu," Aunt Zhong told Yang Ge Lao, "When County Lord Anle left, she used her sleeves to mess up the chess game." So she was a little inaccurate about the seats of the last few chess pieces.

"She has messed up the chess game?"

"Yes."

"But it was intentional?"

"How could Brother Yu ask this?" Aunt Zhong raised her curved eyebrows slightly, "Does Brother Yu think she was careless? How could someone like County Lord Anle accidentally appear in front of Brother Yu?"

"Oh..." Yang Ge Lao pondered. When he reached his position, he had long since not believed in so-called coincidences, nor would he believe in any carelessness. However, in Ji Xiaotang, Yang Ge Lao subconsciously hoped that coincidences and accidents would occur. After Aunt Zhong's reminder, Yang Ge Lao realized that his thoughts themselves were very dangerous. "A Yao, this is how you think of County Lord Anle."

"Yes, Brother Yu." Aunt Zhong nodded, "In my opinion, County Lord Anle is a fox that has become a spirit. Brother Yu, don't underestimate her just because she is young."

Mr. Yang nodded slightly. Aunt Zhong’s view coincided with him.

"Why are you not sure about the position of the chess pieces?" Yang Ge Lao asked Aunt Zhong, and with Aunt Zhong, he reappeared the chess game just now.

After that, Yang Ge Lao did not say anything for a long time. Instead, he focused on the chessboard and walked the game between him and Ji Xiaotang step by step again. After repeating this twice, he slowly raised his head from the chessboard.

Mr. Yang's eyes became even more serious.

"Brother Yu..." Aunt Zhong asked carefully, "Brother Yu said that the game was in harmony. Could it be that County Lord Anle's chess power..."

"...It is the most difficult opponent I have seen in my life." Yang Ge Lao said word by word.

Even though he said in person that Ji Xiaotang was a fox who became a spirit, Aunt Zhong was still surprised to hear what Yang Ge Lao said. She knew the best of how Yang Ge Lao’s chess power was. The civil and military officials in the court were only three people who could compete with him on the chessboard. Even these three people had never received such comments from Yang Ge Lao.

"The young man is terrifying." Yang Ge Lao said another sentence.

"Even if she is a fox who has become a spirit, Brother Yu has never seen anyone in recent years. There is no need to..." Even if you can't underestimate Ji Xiaotang, there is no need to be so swaying a great enemy.

Mr. Yang shook his head when he heard Aunt Zhong's words.

"Watching chess is like observing people. The chess path of Anle County Lord is a unique one, which is different from everyone I see." Yang Ge Lao stood up and walked slowly in the house. "First, the chess path of Anle County Lord is not at all constrained. This is particularly rare."

The endgame he set in the pavilion was originally unsolvable, but Ji Xiaotang's seemingly ordinary step activated the whole game. This is precisely because she is not confined to her, and her vision and thinking are not limited.

Just this, Mr. Yang thought to himself that he was at a disadvantage.¢£,

He thought about the unsolvable endgame for several months and had already figured out a solution, and he was secretly proud of it. So he put it out to test Ji Xiaotang. He had to admit that the solution he came up with was more clever than his move.

He was a dangerous move and barely revitalized the chess game. Ji Xiaotang's seemingly plain step made the whole chess game change completely.

"Second, County Lord Anle played chess with me. Every step seemed ordinary, without anger or murderous aura. However, when you were careful, there were endless back-ups, which made people unable to defend themselves. Often, I was the one who dominated the chess game when I played chess with others. Today, I also thought so when I first started, but later on, I didn't think so."

Especially after two reviews, on the surface, it seems that he is the dominant chess game, but in fact, I am afraid that Ji Xiaotang has been controlling the direction of chess game.

"Third, this is the ending." Speaking of this, Mr. Yang had already walked to the chessboard again, and he reached out to pick up a piece. "It's not that I can't continue playing this game of chess."

"Then why didn't the Lord Anle County Master continue?" asked Aunt Zhong, "Brother Yu, even though I think the Lord Anle County Master should not be underestimated, I still don't believe that she can beat Brother Yu in the chess game."

"Because if you continue, it will be a dangerous situation." Yang Ge Lao replied. He could already see the direction of the chess game behind. It was very dangerous and there was no possibility of a match. And it would be full of murderous aura. Among the two of them, one of them would definitely lose very badly.

Ji Xiaotang may have seen this possibility and did not want to fight with him on the chessboard, or as she said, she could not continue to walk when she reached that point.

In these two possibilities, Yang Ge Lao prefers the former one.

"It's very smart, but not smart, and it's appropriate to advance and retreat. It's the most rare thing for young people to know how to hide their weaknesses." Yang Ge Lao said Ji Xiaotang, and said a few things in a row, which shows how high he evaluated Ji Xiaotang.

"As soon as I saw her today, I knew that our silly daughter was not her opponent." Aunt Zhong said.

"Tell her not to be scheming at County Lord Anle." Mr. Yang sat back on the chair of the Grand Master and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Let her watch carefully. County Lord Anle does everything every day, and tell me what kind of people he meets, no matter how big or small it is."

"Nothing is big or small?" Aunt Zhong asked.

"Yes." Old Master Yang opened his eyes slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Aunt Zhong's question.

Aunt Zhong immediately realized this and nodded and agreed, secretly refusing it. Mr. Yang was rarely impatient with her, and she didn't say much. She thought that she knew Mr. Yang best, and over the years, she had already had a deep understanding between the two.

Mr. Yang Ge knew everything about Ji Xiaotang, but it was not just because he wanted to marry Ji Xiaotang for Yang Xuan.

"Brother Yu," Seeing that Mr. Yang narrowed his eyes and stopped talking, Aunt Zhong hesitated for a moment. Still asked softly, "Our daughter told me again today that she planned to send Xiaolian to the palace. Brother Yu was interested in this matter..."

"This is not only what our daughter means, but I think Wenzhong is also very enthusiastic about it." Yang Ge Lao did not open his eyes and said slowly. Master Ji Wenzhong has always been an ambitious man. "Although his promotion in the court has been smooth over the years, he has some shortcomings in his heart. He doesn't think about how old he is."

Master Ji wanted to be the father-in-law of Emperor Longqing. This was not enough to imitate him, and he planned to imitate Han Zhizhang.

"He saw the glory of the Han family. But he didn't think about it. That was a simple thing." Yang Ge Lao said this, with a faint sarcasm in his tone.

"He has little knowledge after all, and has been under the guise of Brother Yu for many years, and has not suffered any setbacks. He has no chance of seeing him. Brother Yu will teach him more for the sake of our daughter... No matter what, he always has an arm in the court." Aunt Zhong said this, but she was full of thought of protecting her daughter and son-in-law.

Mr. Yang could not completely ignore Aunt Zhong’s feelings.¢£, so he nodded and said no.

"I have cultivated him for so many years, so I will naturally not give up on him, let alone our daughter."

"Brother Yu, this time the palace issued an order to select female officials. Our family..., the conditions for Pianpian and Shanshan are suitable..." Aunt Zhong wanted to ask Mr. Yang, if she was planning to let Yang Pianpian and Yang Shanshan enter the palace, she would choose.

Mr. Yang did not answer immediately.

These days, the family is waiting for him to make a decision on this matter. At this moment, Aunt Zhong seemed to ask inadvertently that it should be Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji wanted to know if the Yang family would send her daughter to the palace to choose.

If the Yang family does not send their daughter to the palace, they will fully support Ji Xiaolian.

If the Yang family plans to send Yang Pianpian and Yang Shanshan into the palace, then...

"I have to think about this matter again." Mr. Yang replied in this way.

Aunt Zhong immediately realized that Yang Ge was seriously considering the option of sending his granddaughter into the palace. If it was really confirmed, then Mrs. Ji would definitely be very disappointed.

"The elegant temperament is not suitable for entering the palace. As for Shanshan, it is also a bit ordinary. Our girls can't be overwhelmed by others when they enter the palace." Aunt Zhong said.

This is why Mr. Yang is still hesitating.

Aunt Zhong looked at Mr. Yang again and understood his intentions even more. She couldn't help but secretly wonder. In the past, Mr. Yang had never planned to send his own girl to the palace.

Why did Mr. Yang have such a plan again?

Mr. Yang treats her the most confidant and will tell her what she doesn’t tell others. However, she has recently discovered that Mr. Yang is still hiding his worries from her.

This is just one of them.

She also asked about it tentatively, but she was cleverly disconnected by Mr. Yang. She knew that Mr. Yang was unwilling to say it, so she was very tactful and did not understand the truth.

Although she didn't ask, she couldn't help but pay attention to it all the time and felt keenly that Mr. Yang's thoughts were closely related to the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang. In other words, they had a great relationship with Qingyuan County, Ren'an Prefecture.

Yang Ge Lao went from Hanlin Academy to Entering the Pavilion, and there were some twists and turns. However, this time, Aunt Zhong had a vague premonition, this time it was incomparable to all the twists and turns in the past.

However, she had confidence in Yang Ge Lao. No matter what, her brother Yu could make the difference.

"Brother Yu, those two women from Qingyuan..." Aunt Zhong lowered her voice slightly and asked Mr. Yang.

Yang Ge Lao opened his eyes.

"A Yao, please make arrangements. I want to see them again... Even if A Shao is involved, don't let him know about this."

"Yes." Aunt Zhong agreed and slowly retreated.

After Aunt Zhong left, Mr. Yang slowly leaned back to the back of the chair, closing his eyes to rest.

The chess game with Ji Xiaotang and the subsequent clips of talking to Master Ji and Master Ji Er appeared alternately in his mind.

Under the current circumstances, it is really a risk to marry Ji Xiaotang into the house. However, compared to this risk, he could not watch Ji Xiaotang enter the palace or marry any of the two.

When I met Ji Xiaotang today, his idea became more determined.

Ji Xiaotang must enter the Yang family's door.

"The most dangerous chess piece must be kept under your nose and always watched, so that people can feel at ease..." Mr. Yang murmured to himself.

And if you can't control it in your own hands, you can only... destroy her.

...

Jinghuatang

Master Ji Er came back from the Yang Mansion and played with Changsheng who was rushing to him for a while. Then he asked the wet nurse to take Changsheng down. Then he sat down, called Ji Xiaotang to the front, and solemnly discussed the matter.

"...Your uncle agrees with this marriage very much." Master Ji Er said to Ji Xiaotang, "Xuan let that child. I took the exam today. I am considered to be of medium talent. If I am willing to strive for it, I don't have to worry about my future.... I am a little younger, I am afraid that my temperament will be unstable. This is not good and good. If you are willing to give him some questions in the future, you will not be afraid that he will become crooked..."

After Master Ji Er said this, he paused for a moment and added another sentence: "Mr. Yang is very cautious."

"The eldest wife of his family looks quite serious, but she should be a reasonable person." Mrs. Ji Er also expressed the results of her observation.

"Dad and mother said it well. But in my opinion, this marriage cannot be done."

"Why?" Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er asked in unison.

Ji Xiaotang felt that the marriage with the Yang family was inappropriate, not Yang Xuanrang, not Yang Shao and Mrs. Yang, but Yang Ge Lao.

"Old Ge Lao?" Master Ji Er was slightly surprised. What he saw was that Master Yang admired Ji Xiaotang very much.
