Chapter 270 The two-faced wild rose that the military commander wants to provoke (21)
Lin Muqing received a complete set of warm scarves and gloves sent by the housekeeper. They were plush and very warm.
The housekeeper thought that the first time, Master Jiu was trying to leave a good impression on Master Wen. But the second time, he asked him to buy warm gloves and specifically told him to buy high-quality foreign hand warmers. He was still so concerned about this even after the engagement was broken off? I don't understand.
At noon, the two played a game of chess.
After all the back and forth, even the butler couldn't understand the situation on the board. After all, the butler used to be the military advisor of the old governor. Miss Lin was really talented. The butler looked around and felt that she and the marshal were a perfect match. He shook his head and shook off the ridiculous idea.
"Master, don't you want to make it clear before you take this step?"
She watched Wen Yansheng willingly fall into her trap just to gain a white piece, but at the same time he would also lose two black pieces.
"No, if you think about it for one more second, you won't be able to eat this white piece." Wen Yansheng picked up the surrounding white piece swiftly, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and said something meaningful.
Lin Muqing heard it.
"Then I won't be polite to these two black guys~"
Wen Yansheng could always hear something else from her. There was a smile in his eyes, and he whispered back:
"I'll make you spit it out after eating it for a while."
Sure enough, after planning for a dozen steps, he captured two more white pieces.
"The Marshal really keeps his word." She began to disrupt his camp step by step.
In the end, she narrowly won.
"That's smart. I like it."
I couldn't help but pick up her fair little hand and kiss the back of it lovingly.
Wen Yansheng could only play chess with her to his heart's content. The more he liked her, the more he felt like he had come across a deep treasure. If he dug a little, he would find a surprise, and if he dug a little more, he would find even more surprises.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Yansheng had something important to deal with, so he said goodbye to her, kissed her when no one was around, and left.
She also had things to do, but she didn't expect the itinerary to be so similar.
…
At night, under the warm yellow street lights, the snow was drifting sparsely and pure white, and the downstairs were full of rickshaw drivers and dancers.
Upstairs is the third floor of a commercial building.
There was light snow falling outside the window. Inside the window, there were four billiard tables brought in by foreigners placed in a large space, separated from each other.
In this era, new and novel gadgets are always enjoyed first by top military leaders.
Three of Haiping's most famous military marshals and a young man who was just as powerful as them were taking turns sparring.
At this time, four men gathered around a billiard table, three of them in military uniforms, each holding a cue.
There was also a youngest man, wearing a black hoodie and coat, and long trousers tucked into boots.
He looks androgynous, like the bright moon and gentle breeze, with a pair of narrow, sharp and lazy red phoenix eyes. He holds a golf club and stands out among the three military thugs.
Li Hengxu called the man, "Mr. Mu, are you still going to tee off for the second round?"
Ouyang Jin on the other side was bald and had a fat round face. There was a lot of fat on his face, which caused his eyelids to be low. He looked at people with sharp eyes and hidden cunning, but he always had a smile on his face. He glanced at Li Hengxu:
"Why don't you start this game, Marshal Li? Mr. Mu's game is too difficult."
I thought Li Hengxu would let me off, but I didn't expect him to be such an upright person.
Marshal Li held the club with the back of his hand and chose the most difficult height. When the white ball came out, seven balls were piled together, surrounded by blocking balls, so they were not scattered.
It was almost the same as what Mr. Mu had just said. Ouyang Jin miscalculated and his face turned dark.
On the other side, Mo Chen, who was wearing glasses, laughed out loud: "Beautiful, Marshal Li has learned Mr. Mu's table-opening skills!"
"I'm not bad either." Li Hengxu raised an eyebrow at Ouyang Jin, then glanced at the young man beside him. He didn't recognize that this was the person he had been looking for for days. He smiled and said, "Master Jin, do you think it's difficult? How about letting Mr. Mu go first?"
Mr. Mu was none other than Lin Muqing. She leaned against the pillar, holding the golf club lazily in front of her. She shook her head in refusal, her remaining eyes fixed on tonight's goal.
Opposite her, Ouyang Jin narrowed his eyes at Li Hengxu's arrogance and said, "Come on."
This is about one hundred dollars a ball.
Before Ouyang Jin could hit the ball.
At this time, the western-style milky white door opened, and a foreigner with curly brown hair walked in, followed by a military commander with a strong aura.
Lin Muqing was standing right in front of the door and saw it as soon as he raised his eyes.
Wen Yansheng was taller and stronger than the foreigner. He was wearing a cloak, which swung as he walked. The bright light shone on his tall nose, making him look even more majestic and powerful.
Why is he here? Is it a coincidence or...
Wen Yansheng noticed a familiar gaze and met the black-clothed man's eyes with a dull look, even though his face looked a little different from yesterday.
But he recognized her at the first sight, his eyes became visibly darker, and the interest in them was more intense.
The two looked at each other, and she looked away first, pretending not to know him.
"Master, please come in. This is billiards. We just introduced it last month. The way to play is very interesting. I have invited you to play many times, but you have been busy with work. It is a rare opportunity that you are free today. You must enjoy it."
Reese made a please gesture and spoke in not very standard Chinese, but at a level that was roughly understandable.
Ouyang Jin raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence. I don't know what he was thinking of. Then he laughed heartily and invited: "Master, you are in a good mood today. How about joining us?"
