There are two beautiful figures in the pavilion, sitting opposite each other and talking softly.

There was a breeze blowing, the two people's dresses fluttered, their hair fluttered lightly, revealing their beautiful profiles.

Yang Lin recognized it.

The one wearing a white dress, lightly holding a teacup, and looking at the chessboard carefully with a cool and generous face is Li Xiuning.

And another woman in a water green dress with a delicate and gentle face was Song Yuzhi.

Needless to say, Li Xiuning, she was originally a woman with great ambitions, and her talent and learning can be said to be the true biography of the Li clan. When it comes to smart mind and ability to handle affairs, she can still be compared with men in the world, not to mention women. front row.

The achievements of the future Princess Pingyang can be described as astonishing.

She was kidnapped by Yang Lin to Jiangdu Palace, still in the name of a concubine. At the beginning, she was naturally unwilling and unhappy in every way, only thinking that there might be a turning point.

After waiting for a while, Li Shimin and the generals of Tiance Mansion arrived.

It's a pity that my younger brother didn't come to rescue him with a thousand horses and thousands of troops.

Instead, he was also taken captive, not counting as a prisoner, and not too much worse.

It's really the same people who have fallen in the end of the world, why should we meet each other before, she doesn't want to see her brother at all.

From that day on, Li Xiuning's mentality gradually changed, and her treatment of Yang Lin was no longer that kind of gentle on the surface, cold on the inside, and had some interaction.

From time to time, I will talk to him about some important national affairs and military formation planning.

That's a good start.

And what about Song Yuzhi?

Actually, Yang Lin didn't figure out why this guy came to Jiangdu.

You said she came to marry on behalf of the Song Clan.

It's really not.

She will avoid herself intentionally or unintentionally.

Occasionally, I can feel all kinds of rejection in her heart.

If it is said that she came to Jiangdu to investigate the enemy's situation, and she came here with hostility, it doesn't seem like it.

In general, this one, coming here is like a vacation, doing nothing to kill the long night.

If it wasn't for her sometimes playing the piano to amuse herself, Yang Lin even thought that this person would lie on the couch and sleep every day.

Well, she just puts on the appearance of coming to Jiangdu Palace to waste food, and she doesn't see any tendency at all.

Chapter 379

The sound of the piano entered my ears, ding ding dong dong, and there was a hint of desolation in the reverberation.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the spring water flowing and the birds hovering low...

A quiet scene in the forest, gurgling from the sound of the piano.

"As a family of warriors, and his father is Song Que, the world-renowned Tiandao, and also controls millions of people in the south of the Five Ridges, not only does the sound of the piano not have the sound of war, but reveals a kind of quiet and elegant taste of retreating to the pastoral... ...'

Yang Lin stopped, and after listening for a while, he vaguely understood why Song Yuzhi had been here for several months, and still had such an attitude.

Because she doesn't want to.

She yearns for her own life, and she doesn't want to be manipulated like a chess piece, even if the person holding the chess is her father, that's the same.

There is a game of chess beside her, she will not take a closer look, but just plays the piano by herself, immersed in her own world.

She doesn't want to be a chess piece, and of course she doesn't want to play chess.

"The prince is here, why are you still hiding and eavesdropping on your daughter's family? Could it be that you are tired of Sister Zhenzhen and Sister Wanwan and want to find something new?"

Li Xiuning's speech has always been like this, straight to the point.

It just makes people feel uncomfortable.

If you feel that she is serious about revealing her faults, then on second thought, you feel that she is joking to brighten up the atmosphere.

If you think she is joking, in fact, her fundamental purpose is to play a petty temper and tell you that she is very dissatisfied.

Such mixed feelings.

Yang Lin understood as soon as he heard it.

After the unity of heaven and man, his spiritual strength has greatly increased, and his spiritual cultivation has entered the right track. Not only can he body the heavenly heart, but he can also observe people's will.

At this time, he uncovered the phenomenon and looked at the essence, and he saw Li Xiuning's loneliness and helplessness.

rely on and look forward to.

Although this princess of Pingyang is very good at fighting and her words are like the art of war, in the final analysis, she is actually a very young woman.

Her fiancé, Chai Shao, died at her own hands, but she couldn't even hate her, and she wanted to serve her all her life.

This kind of subtle thought, as long as you think about it, is a very interesting thing.

"Xiu Ning is playing chess. Playing alone, thanks to the fact that you can find fun in it, it's better for us to play a game."

Yang Lin laughed lightly and walked into the pavilion.

Song Yuzhi stopped playing the piano, stood up and saluted, and called out, "Your Majesty."

"Yuzhi is rare to have a good mood. This piece of Konggu Youlan is played very well. It has the meaning of being out of the world. Let's continue."

He waved his hand and sat opposite to Li Xiuning. When the Pingyang Princess poured him a cup of tea and waited, he picked up a white chess piece and made a light move.

When a child falls, the situation changes.

Originally, the black and white pieces on the chessboard were entangled and fought inextricably, and no one could gain the upper hand. This is because Li Xiuning's mind is divided into two, playing chess with the left hand and the right hand. The same thinking and the same chess strength play this kind of chess. .

When Yang Lin's piece fell, the style of chess changed drastically. Although there was no attack power, it had the implication of infinite backhands. Potential.

"Good chess."

Li Xiuning raised his eyes and looked at Yang Lin firmly, his eyes were shining brightly, staring at the chessboard, making moves carefully.

Yang Lin smiled slightly, followed along without thinking.

The two fell faster and faster...

With a smile on his face, Yang Lin closed his eyes from time to time, admiring the sound of Song Yuzhi's piano, as if he didn't put all his attention on the chess.

However, Li Xiuning, who was on the opposite side, was facing a formidable enemy.

In the end, every time I take a step, I have to fall into the long exam, and my forehead is dripping with sweat, which seems to have overdrawn a lot of energy.

Song Yuzhi's piano sound gradually became low, afraid of disturbing Li Xiuning's thoughts, her quiet eyes inevitably showed curiosity at this moment.

I have known Li Xiuning for many years.

She clearly knew that this elder sister of the Li family was extremely talented. In addition to knowing the art of war and fighting, she also had astonishing accomplishments in chess and painting.

Especially playing chess, Mr. Fang and Mr. Du also sat in the pavilion for a while a few days ago and played against each other. They were killed by her and left in embarrassment.

The main purpose of those two gentlemen from Tiance Mansion was naturally to test out Li Xiuning's tone before entering the palace, and the secondary purpose was not that they did not want to be competitive.

After the loss, Fang Xuanling also embarrassedly praised Li Xiuning's chess skills: "Even if you are a Chang'an chess master, it's nothing more than that."

How did Li Xiuning answer at that time?

What she said was, "The way of chess is like the way of war. Those who worry too much win, and those who worry little lose. The two gentlemen have too many distracting thoughts in their hearts. It is normal to lose..."

Although these words were for the two to hide their faces, Song Yuzhi still heard it.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui praised Li Xiuning's chess skills as Chang'an Chess Master, but Li Xiuning did not refute.

The meaning is obvious.

But now, what did she see?

Seeing Li Xiuning concentrating on it, she was easily defeated by the backer king who concentrated on listening to the piano and only had a little concentration.

The white pieces are connected together, even Song Yuzhi, who is only a proficient chess player, can see the fierce killing spirit in it.

As for Heizi's side, at this moment, they are already at a loss. No matter how you look at it, it is a dead end.

Surprised, she forgot to pluck the strings long ago, and the sound of the piano stopped long ago.

"No more, the prince is bullying people."

Li Xiuning slumped down, her face was getting redder and redder, sweat had already soaked her white dress, and she almost showed her beautiful figure.

However, she didn't notice it at all, she narrowed her eyebrows, pursed her mouth tightly, and flicked her sleeve away, messing up the whole chess piece, making an angry noise.

"That's okay too?"

Yang Lin was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

No matter how strong a woman is, she is still a woman, who can play tricks and make trouble.

Li Xiuning has always been calm and steady on weekdays, so much so that Yang Lin always thought that she might be different from ordinary people, but he didn't expect to see a little girl like her lose her temper.

Presumably, the chess game just now really pushed her hard.

Observing things with the eyes of the sky, knowing the good and the bad, knowing the good and the bad.

Observing the situation with the eyes of the mind, integrating the art of war into the way of chess, it is like quicksilver leaking out, every move hits the most uncomfortable part of the opponent.

If it was another person, he would have been defeated by Yang Lin's unpredictable and subtle chess moves.

And it was not easy for Li Xiuning to be with him for so long.

Although it still crashed in the end.

Looking at Li Xiuning's unreconciled and relieved eyes, Yang Lin tapped the table: "Wagang is newly defeated, several generals each lead more than [-] soldiers and horses, they are united and fighting everywhere, if you lead the army, you can Are you sure you can take it?"

"My lord's art of war is so unpredictable, how can Xiu Ning dare to fight against others?"

Li Xiuning sat up straight, just about to agree.

Then I remembered the game of chess just now.

But I was thinking in my heart, "It may be a lucky thing not to confront him early, not to have a real confrontation on the battlefield."

"My lord, it's actually different." Yang Lin was also embarrassed to say that he was cheating.

The real chess skill, or the art of war, is not as strong as imagined.

"Don't compare with me, just ask you, after autumn, the Eighth Route Army will move together...

This king intends for you to lead a troop to point directly at Yingyang.

Facing Wa Gangcheng and Qin Yi, are you confident in taking it down? "

"I will definitely live up to my lord's trust."

"As for the soldiers and horses of Shan and Wang, I will let General Huwei Du Fuwei lead a hundred thousand troops to attack. Your two armies will rely on each other and follow your orders."

"Yes."

Li Xiuning's cheeks were red, as if she was drunk, and she let out a long breath, "I will definitely win."

Yang Lin nodded.

He believed this.

After personally competing on the chessboard, he understood the level of Li Xiuning's art of war.

In terms of the ability to truly know how to use soldiers and fight with dignity, among the forces in Jiangdu, apart from Li Jing, the later military god, only Li Shimin can be compared to her.

Although she is a woman, Yang Lin has no prejudices. Such a master of military art and a female general with actual combat experience, he can't bear to keep her in a deep boudoir. It's a waste.

As for Song Yuzhi.

Yang Lin found that this guy had just started playing chess, and he kept looking at him secretly with his big eyes blinking.

She thought she couldn't find it, but in fact, with the eyes of the sky open, it can be seen in all directions.

Her expressions of entanglement, disgust, amazement, and self-pity were all seen.

"After listening to Yuzhi's piano, I will also play a piece for you. After playing, you can comment on it."

Yang Lin said something with a half-smile, and sat in front of the piano, ignoring Song Yuzhi's surprised eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

Meaning, can you play the piano?

Of course Yang Lin can play.
