The first top lady

The reason why the Lanlu League has become one of the five major gangs in Forbidden City is not because they are so powerful and brutal, but because they established the Forbidden City granary and controlled the food supply lifeline of the entire Forbidden City and even the Forbidden Triangle.

Therefore, Lu Qishan didn't care about the poppies on the forbidden mountain at all, and he didn't take the fact that Song Yixuan set fire to the mountain to heart. His mind was all on farming.

Of course, there are also chess, drinks, and paintings...

The bamboo house became quiet, with only the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard and chess box, sometimes crisp, sometimes dull.

Guan Qian walked to Lu Qishan's desk, picked up a painting in the painting jar, unfolded it and looked at it.

Suddenly, Lu Qishan spoke, breaking the silence in the air and arousing his suspicion of Lu Qishan.

"Are you really not from the capital?" Lu Qishan asked stiffly, staring straight at Song Yixuan who was sitting opposite him, his brows furrowed in thought.

Song Yixuan slowly raised her eyes, met Lu Qishan's gaze, and opened her red lips, "You really wish I were from the capital!" The voice was cold and stern, not a question, but an affirmation.

The two of them were in a stalemate for two seconds.

Lu Qishan was the first to relax his brows, smiled casually, and said frankly: "I really hope you are."

Song Yixi withdrew his gaze and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth.

Why does it feel like Lu Qishan’s target tonight is her?

"Seventeen years ago," Lu Qishan recalled, "I was still in Imperial Capital. I had a very good chess friend, but I was always one step behind him in chess. I was unwilling to accept this, so I went to play chess with him every day. Although he said he was annoyed by me coming to him, he would always put away the chessboard, as if he was waiting for me to come."

Just when Song Yixuan was hesitating whether she could kowtow, Lu Qishan's next words instantly made her give up the idea.

"Once, when I was worried about losing to him, his little daughter suddenly appeared out of nowhere, overturned the chessboard, pointed at the two of us adults and said, 'You are the ones who are confused. It's not the chess pieces that are trapping you, but the chessboard. Now I am the one who broke the game. I am the winner and you are all losers.' Then she jumped away."

It turns out that she is married and has children, so it’s better not to do that.

Lu Qishan laughed heartily, "First time! The first time he lost, and in front of me."

At that time, you can’t even describe how happy and relieved he felt.

Although he didn't win either.

"Old Shanji, you must have accepted your defeat sincerely this time." Lu Qishan patted Feng Zun's shoulder and bent over with laughter.

Hey! Someone is able to defeat this invincible chess player.

“Get lost!” Feng Zun shook off Lu Qishan’s hand, picked up a handful of chess pieces and threw them at him, “Call me Old Shanji again! If my daughter hears you, I’ll kick you out of the capital!”

Lu Qishan ran away laughing, "Daughter slave, you have come to this day too, hahahaha——"

After a long time, Feng Zun could still hear Lu Qishan's laughter in his ears.

……

Song Yixuan turned his head and glanced at Guan Qian, who also looked at him. Both of them didn't know what Lu Qishan was going to do.

"After that, I never played chess with him again." Lu Qishan continued, "At the end of that year, I came to the forbidden area alone. The next year, I heard that his little daughter was missing."

Having said that, he sighed heavily.

Song Yixuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Qishan with a heavy face, who looked lost and regretful.

She seemed to know Lu Qishan's purpose.

Do you suspect that she is the lost little daughter of your chess friend?

Just because she, like that little girl, had overturned the chessboard?

Moreover, this little girl is also from Dijing, so could she be the same sister that Feng Yanhui is looking for?

It should be.

Otherwise, how could Feng Yanhui and Lu Qishan find her at different times and places?

"He is also a big shot in the Imperial Capital. If even he can't be found, the child may no longer be in the Imperial Capital, or even in the country." Lu Qishan's eyes revealed melancholy, and his voice was heavy, "I wanted to help him, so I gradually built up my power in the Forbidden City. I know that there are many human trafficking gangs in the Forbidden Triangle, and most of them are lured and abducted from Country H. Over the years, the Blue Alliance has searched the Forbidden Triangle thoroughly, but there is no trace of the child. Unless..."

Unless those gangs had already killed and buried the bodies.

Killing people and burying bodies is a common occurrence in the forbidden triangle, and Lu Qishan didn't even dare to think about it.

"I'll have no choice but to send people to expand the search area. I won't let go of the entire southeast." Lu Qishan smiled and looked at Song Yixuan, "I just think that besides your chess skills, you look a lot like him."

From the quick glance he had taken that year, his memory of the appearance of Feng Zun's youngest daughter Feng Yuanhui was already very vague, but he would always remember Feng Zun's face.

Song Yixi really looks like his old friend.

After hearing these words of recognition again, Song Yixuan's attitude remained cold.

She sat there quietly with her eyes lowered, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

Lu Qishan was very curious about why Song Yixuan didn't ask him. If Song Yixuan knew that he was not his biological son, shouldn't he take this opportunity to ask him about his biological parents?

Or maybe he recognized the wrong person. Song Yixuan was his biological child and had never been lost.

But don’t we all have a desire to gossip?

Even if he was just telling a story, why didn't Song Yixuan show any interest?

This is not normal.

"Miss Song, can you tell me..." Lu Qishan still wanted to find out Song Yixuan's background.

"Alliance Master Lu," Guan Qian came over and interrupted him, "It's getting late. I want to take Yi Xian back. If you have anything to say, just ask me directly next time." The voice was polite and domineering.

He nodded and smiled, held Song Yixuan's hand and was about to take people away.

Lu Qishan looked at Song Yixuan's back and hurriedly shouted, "Miss Song, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."

He naturally heard the rejection in Guan Qian's words. He didn't want him to ask further. Could it be because Guan Qian also knew something, and the two of them were hiding it from him together?

If you think about it this way, then Song Yixuan is most likely the daughter of an old friend.

Lu Qishan paced back and forth in the room happily, "Great, finally there is some progress."

But these are just his speculations after all, without any evidence or confirmation from Song Yixuan.

"Oh! Forget it, let's not tell him for now." Lu Qishan was afraid that everyone would be happy for nothing in the end, so he decided not to tell Feng Zun about this before finding out Song Yixuan's life experience.

The road conditions on the way back were not very good. There were no street lights, it was pitch black all around, and the road was a bit bumpy.

Guan Qian gently embraced Song Yixuan and held him in his arms.

The carriage was dark. Song Yixuan looked up but couldn't see Guan Qian's expression. The carriage was also very quiet.

Without waiting for Guan Qian to ask, she couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to know?"

"Know what?" Guan Qian lowered his eyes and spoke in a gentle voice.

Song Yixuan said calmly: "Who am I?"

Guan Qian chuckled, held her hand tightly and said, "Song Yixuan." He then half-jokingly said, "It's only been a few days since I forgot my last name, Song. How come you forgot who you are so quickly?"

Song Yixuan didn't laugh. The darkness covered her hesitant and melancholy eyes. She just asked, "Don't you want to know why I don't want to recognize them?"

Guan Qian immediately stopped thinking about it and said in a steady and earnest voice, "Yiqian, there are not so many reasons. If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. In fact, wanting to do it or not wanting to do it is the biggest reason."

For the first time, Song Yixuan did not feel the slightest bit of disgust towards these sermons.

Because this is not preaching.

Gradually, her mind became clear.

Maybe she shouldn't think too much about it.

"It's not just this matter." Guan Qian added cautiously, "Whether you want to arrest Kou Shan now or continue to be a criminal police officer, it's the same."

Song Yixuan has been using the arrest of Kou Shan as an excuse to continue working as a criminal police officer.

But it is obvious that she doesn't need any reasons or excuses, and can make her choice based on her own will.

The only question is what her true intention is.

Guan Qian knew the confusion in Song Yixuan's heart, just like what the little girl said in Lu Qishan's story, those who are involved are often confused. Song Yixuan is now a person who is involved in the confusion. She has been entangled with herself for too long and trapped herself in her own heart.

Even if Guan Qian saw it clearly, he was unable to immediately pull Song Yixuan out of that confusing situation.

Song Yixuan wouldn't be so obedient.

Everything can only be waited for Song Yixi to slowly figure it out.
