Chapter 162 What is Wind and Emotion
Min's temperament is the exact opposite of Mo Xiang, and no matter what he says, he can't stir up a ripple here.
In Song Chu Yi's impression, he was always this kind of person. In both Song and Wei countries, Song Chu Yi had once infuriated him, at that time she wanted to tell herself that the present Zhen Yu was not the one in her memories, but the person in front of her was increasingly overlapping with the one in her memories. Finally, it rekindled the turmoil in Song Chu Yi's heart.
On the day he jumped off the city wall, there was no time for a regretful sigh.
Min Chi looked down at the chessboard, feeling a strange atmosphere, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at her. Their eyes met, and when their gazes collided, Min Chi was taken aback for a moment before hesitantly asking, "We...before Song Guo, had we ever met before?"
Min Chi and Song Chuyi didn't have much of a relationship, all their interactions were almost always confrontational due to Song Chuyi's intentional or unintentional provocations, and he came on the night of the full moon partly out of curiosity.
He wanted to know that when he first met Song Chuyi in the Song Dynasty, her eyes were filled with hatred, even if it was only a flash, he didn't miss it.
"Never." Song Chu said lightly.
"Huai Jin seems to have a grudge against me." Min Chi had already asked this question several times. Whoever is inexplicably hated by someone will also be suspicious, right? Moreover, his memory has not yet aged and declined, and he dares to confirm that he has never offended Song Chuyi, a person like that.
Min Chi used the affairs of the Wei State to frame her, apart from personal gain, it was also because of Song Chu Yi's words "If one doesn't have an opponent with similar strength in life, wouldn't that be boring". He has always been a bit arrogant and wanted to see what kind of skills this young man had who dared to challenge him.
The result was beyond his expectation, with Song Chu Yi slightly gaining the upper hand. Ya-Wen's first attempt at emotional manipulation did not succeed, but her reputation for loyalty and righteousness became widely known among the various states. Meanwhile, he had been trapped in Wei State until now before managing to turn things around.
This also makes Min-ji more curious about Song Hyeon-cheol.
Silence.
A gentle breeze swept by, and the withered hibiscus fell down like a heavy rain. The misty fog blew into the corridor, cool and damp.
Song Chu Yi finally dropped a chess piece, raised his head and wiped his sleeve to look at Min Chi, saying matter-of-factly, "In my humble opinion, not liking someone doesn't require any reason."
Speechless and stunned.
"Don't be discouraged, you're still somewhat interesting. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be in a good mood and find you pleasing to the eye again." Song Chu said with a comforting tone. It wasn't entirely teasing him. This statement was half true and half false, she couldn't prove that the person who had wronged her in the past was indeed him. But even if it wasn't, the grudge from the previous incident when he stabbed her in the back still needed to be avenged. Whether or not he was pleasing to the eye and whether or not she would avenge herself were two separate matters, she had always been very clear about this.
"Hmm." Min Chi smiled and said, "Thanks for the concern. But as Huai Jin said, it's also good to have someone who is more capable than oneself in life."
He said, then looked at the chessboard and smiled. "Huaichen's chess skills are exceptional, I lost."
This game of chess has only just begun for less than an hour. According to Song Chu's estimation, even if it were the current Min Chi's level, it wouldn't be so slow, perhaps something was disturbing his thoughts.
What's going on? Song Chuoyi's hand in her sleeve lightly tapped her arm.
"I'm leaving." Min Chi slowly got up.
"Please go ahead." Song Chu nodded slightly.
As Min Chi led the people away, Song Chu's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He got up and walked into the house, sat down at a low table, pulled out a bamboo slip from a bamboo tube, picked up his brush and wrote down Min Chi's basic situation: "Gu Han."
"Come in." Gu Han immediately walked in.
Song Chu handed over a bamboo slip and said, "Check him."
"Hello." Gu Han took the bamboo slip and looked at it before saying, "What does sir mainly want to know?"
"Find out everything about him, but recently focus on which country and person he is currently serving. Must be quick." Song Chu instructed. She had to know these situations in order to guess the purpose of Min Chi's arrival.
Although the matter of Bashu is not as urgent as imagined, Song Chu Yi will never allow anyone to intervene, whether it is Chu State or Wei State.
"In the past few days, speed up." Song Chuyi felt it necessary to enter Shu as soon as possible. However, she was not in a hurry to implement her plan in her heart. For Min Chi's appearance, a sense of crisis must be produced, but she cannot be disturbed by him.
"Hi!"
Gu Yan led the way out, and Ji Yu walked in.
"Sir." Ji Yu looked at Song Chu and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, then found a position to kneel down and continued, "The person who just used the hidden weapon didn't show any mercy at all."
Watching them play chess with such joy, he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
"In this regard, he and I are somewhat similar." Song Chu nodded in agreement.
"What's that?" Although Yue didn't think of it for a moment, she had already prepared herself mentally. A characteristic similar to Song Chuyi's must not be a good one.
"I believe that Min Chi never had the intention to kill me." Song Chuoyi leaned back on the armrest and said, "He was acting with a 'kill or be killed, if you can't kill then don't owe' mentality."
Anyway, their relationship has long been openly antagonistic, and adding another grudge doesn't make a difference.
Ji Yu was silent for a moment before changing the subject, "Sir, you just asked me to look at which star in the courtyard? Did I see an omen?"
The Taoist likes to talk about the changes of heaven and earth, and Ji Yu feels that Song Chu is a Taoist after all, so he should understand some heavenly phenomena.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one stretched one's mouth, wanting to speak but stopping for a moment, and then said sincerely, "Actually, I sometimes understand romance too, just now I just wanted you to see how bright that star is."
This topic is really not going well. Ji Yu fell silent for a few moments again and said coldly, "Sir, you should rest early."
Ji Yu walked out of the house and subconsciously looked up at the sky when passing through the courtyard. In the thick and light mist, he could find that brightest star with just one glance.
Ji Bian had just woken up from a nap and was yawning as he came to relieve Gu Han from his night watch. He raised his eyes to see Ji Yu standing still, staring at the sky. He couldn't help but raise his head to take a look too, only to see that everything was shrouded in mist. He walked down the corridor and asked, "Big brother, what are you looking at?"
Ji Yu withdrew her gaze and looked at him for a moment before spitting out two words: "Romantic."
Ji Bian was puzzled in his heart, and when he saw Ji Yu had already left, he didn't ask again.
He looked up at the sky for a while, just about to turn around and leave, when he saw Gu Han walking towards him. He asked, "Brother Gu, what is 'feng qing'?"
Ji Bian may look dull, but he's not stupid. Although he doesn't know much about elegant things, he thinks that Gu Han is knowledgeable and will certainly know.
"Wind conditions?" Gu Han was taken aback for a moment, looked up at the sky, "It's to observe the wind situation."
"Really?" Gu Jing smiled with a mischievous grin, "I know that charm is the wife's buttocks!"
