The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 54: Fighting with the Number 4

Several people were walking on the street. He didn't ask where they were going, but just followed them with a calm face, heavy steps and a slightly worried look. No one knew what he was thinking.

Li Xiying was thinking about how to escape. The world was so big and the Prime Minister's Mansion was really not a very good hiding place. She still wanted to go back to Luoyang, regardless of how unexpected the Prime Minister's wife's love was.

Suddenly, a two-story building flashed into my sight, with the two gold-plated words "Chess Club" written on the plaque.

Madam Xiang said that he was always dealing with the chessboard all day long, which meant that he was obsessed with it. Why not take advantage of this opportunity... Thinking of this, she burst into laughter.

There were many people inside, and there were chess tables upstairs and downstairs. The chess club was mostly filled with old people, and there were few young people. It looked overcrowded, like a tree hole filled with ants, forming many small encirclements.

Li Xiying turned to Shanluo and said, "Hold me tight, let's go to the chess club."

Shanluo didn't understand what was going on, but nodded anyway.

They finally found a table where a game had just ended. Some people who were watching or kneeling had gone to look elsewhere. She watched as a chess game on the table was put away and the half-drunk tea on both sides was immediately replaced and placed aside.

At times the whole chess club is so quiet you can hear a pin drop, and suddenly it is as noisy as a market.

Cui Silang looked at Li Xiying's figure in the crowd and was somewhat surprised. "Madam, do you like to watch chess? There are too many people here. If you want to watch chess, I have a better place."

Li Xiying shook her head. How could she follow him? "This is it."

Someone in the crowd seemed to have spotted Cui Silang, who stood out from the crowd, and hurriedly shouted, "The chess master! Hey, the chess master is here!"

"Who is the chess master? What are you shouting about?" A man in a white robe was watching a game of chess and was obviously displeased by someone's random shouting.

The man who was shouting snorted, "I'm talking about Cui Silang. He is a master of gambling in Chang'an City. Almost no one can beat him."

"Tsk, why haven't I heard of it?"

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's fake!"

The two people were arguing fiercely. Everyone looked over to see if there was really Cui Silang. They all echoed, "If you don't believe me, let's play a round!"

The man in the white robe said disdainfully: "I really don't believe that there is such a young chess master. Most of the masters I have seen are over fifty years old. How many people has he fought against, how many games has he won, and whether his chess skills are at the third level is still unknown!"

Everyone said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you play a game?"

The man in white robe snorted, "Why not!"

"Cui Silang, please move over here and sit down. We'll decide the winner in two rounds. We'll kill him without leaving a single piece of armor!" Several people shouted in unison.

Just as Cui Silang was about to refuse, the man in white robes had already sat down and said contemptuously: "You are the chess master of Chang'an, and I am the chess master of Luozhou. Don't call yourself a master when you lose later. I have never heard of such a person!"

Some people were so angry that they almost fought with him.

Cui Silang found it absurd. Although he was furious at this moment, he could not leave the chessboard and start a fight because of the two ladies beside him.

Li Xiyi immediately said sympathetically: "If you want to step down, then do it. Don't let others refute your reputation."

"But," Cui Silang sat opposite him under the half-pushing of the crowd, and said, "Then get off."

People who were watching the fun gradually crowded over here, their eyes shining with only the chess game. Li Xiying and Shan Luo were pushed out of the door.

Li Xiying smiled cheerfully, which was exactly what she wanted, and she took Shanluo and ran away.

The two stopped at a street corner, Shanluo panted like a cow and said, "My wife, why are we running?"

Li Xi sighed and said, "If not now, when? Firstly, do I have any money for my luggage? I don't need to pack anything if I leave now. Secondly, the misunderstanding about the poisoned horse has been resolved, so there is no reason for me to stay and cooperate. Besides, they never asked me to cooperate with them. What's the point of keeping me in the mansion?"

"Leaving?" Shan Luo was a little surprised. "Madam Xiang likes you so much that she has arranged a banquet for you and sent servants to serve you. I thought you would be very happy. Why did you leave secretly?"

Li Xiying looked at her serious expression, smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "If a family likes you very much, do you have to respond to their love and pledge yourself to them? Besides, my fourth uncle is in Chang'an, like a hunter hanging in the air and watching. I don't know when he will strike and catch me. It's terrifying. If I am caught by him, I can't escape even if I have wings."

Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, he asked again: "Do you want to go to the embroidery workshop, or go to find Han Qi? Or follow me? Forget it, if you follow me, you may have to sleep in the open for the next two days."

"I...want to go to the embroidery workshop." Shan Luo answered the first half of the sentence, and was puzzled by the second half, "But why are you sleeping in the open air? If that's the case, why don't you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? What if something happens to you?"

When Shanluo said this, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his heart choked, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Li Xiying saw that there seemed to be a subtle emotion in her eyes. She always felt that she seemed to be hiding something. It was like this before the banquet yesterday and it was still like this today. So she went straight to the point and said, "What do you have to say? Just say it directly, don't hide it and make me guess."

Shan Luo lowered his head and shook it, his eyes were bitter, "Nothing... nothing."

"Nothing? Really?" Li Xiying was slightly annoyed.

Shan Luo raised his head again, his eyes slightly red, "I... I just don't want to let my wife sleep on the street."

"Really?" She looked skeptical.

Shan Luo's tears fell down in big drops, "Whatever I said, I shouldn't be so selfish."

"What?" Li Xiying suddenly heard a lot of noise around him.

"..."

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar figure.

Li Xiying opened her eyes wide and quickly hid behind Shanluo, fearing that he would turn around and see her face. She covered Shanluo's mouth and pulled her into a small street.

I really had a fight with Uncle Si today. I just got rid of Cui Silang, but just a few blocks away I ran into my uncle again!

She pulled her and jogged all the way. Shanluo didn't know why she was running again, but just followed her pace closely.

At that time, Li Xuan also seemed to hear Li Xiying's voice. When he looked over, he seemed to see a figure disappearing around the corner.

Li Xixiao looked back from time to time and thought to himself that there was no place to hide in this small street!

She was so anxious that she wished she could grow wings and fly to the sky.

Suddenly, a force from his waist carried him upwards, and he unknowingly escaped from Shanluo's hand.

She hugged his waist tightly, raised her head and opened her eyes to see his face clearly, and a familiar breath filled her face.

Maybe it was because the sky was bright, the light shone brightly on Long Qi's eyes, white teeth, high nose bridge, and clear skin without impurities. This was at a close distance, and the details that were not clear at night were now visible.

With such good Qinggong skills, it would be great if I could help her guard the house.

He immediately gave up this idea. If he were to guard the house, he was afraid that he might suddenly become confused at some point and his life would be in danger.

But this time he did save her from danger, but how did he suddenly appear by her side is the question worth thinking about!

Li Xuan turned a corner and saw a woman in coarse linen clothes. Her eyes were red as if she had just finished crying. He asked, "Did you see a woman with very white skin and wearing a yellow skirt running past here?"

Shan Luo still had tears on her face, and she suppressed her instinct to look up. Li Zhen's oppressive gaze was somewhat intimidating, and it took her a long time to react before she pointed in a direction and said, "She seems to have run far in that direction."

Li Zhen withdrew his gaze and hurriedly chased after him.

Shanluo watched the people go away, then looked up at the roof, but it was difficult to see the two people's location.

Long Qi put his arms around Li Xiying's waist, and she had no choice but to press herself against his chest.

Li Xi stared at him: "Why are you here?"

Long Qi: “…”

Li Xi's initial good impression of him was immediately ruined. Seeing him standing in the morning light with a gloomy face, she said unhappily, "Are you following me? Why are you following me?"
