After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

Timur glanced at Xie Huayan, and the disdain in his eyes became stronger.

He grew up on horseback since he was a child, and he has never been injured in the night when he shuttled arrows. This prince is really an idiot, he has not fought a few battles, and he put his fingers in it.

I think there are a lot of talents in their northern country, from the leader to the cook, the men are all strong and strong, and they are all good men who can kill the enemy on horseback...

Although the imperial court occupies the hinterland of the Central Plains, but the prince is missing a finger, he can't even draw a bow and arrow, and he can't even hold a knife. After a few years, wouldn't he let them slaughter him?

Thinking of this, Timur was even more confident about the next game, and he couldn't wait to declare war: "Your Majesty, I have drank the wine and eaten the food. It is time to watch some exciting things."

As soon as Timur's words fell, the people present couldn't help frowning.

They have a high status, and usually respect the demeanor of a modest gentleman, but now this Timur is outspoken, speaking vulgarly and straightforwardly, how does he seem to have an attitude towards the emperor?

Fortunately, the emperor just smiled and nodded: "I also want to watch the competition. You don't have to hide what skills you have."

Timur's handsome eyes lit up immediately, and he raised his chin, motioning for the other party to speak first.

According to the usual practice, there will be a competition when the envoys visit, usually two rounds, and the two sides take turns to designate the event.

Xie Qingci sat at the palace banquet, lowered his eyes slightly, and said a few words to the eunuch beside him.

The little eunuch changed color slightly when he heard the words, but he still followed Xie Huayan's side and whispered a few words.

Xie Huayan's calm face seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and he fixedly looked at Xie Qingci.

Xie Qingci nodded with slightly curved lips, but there was a bit of firmness and encouragement in his eyes.

Xie Huayan silently lowered his eyes to look at his hands, as if he had made a major decision, he nodded his head lightly.

Xie Qingci breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately whispered some instructions to the people around him.

After a while, a little eunuch came over and said softly: "Your Highness, everything you arranged just now has been done."

Xie Qingci hesitated for a moment before asking: "Did the Second Highness say anything?"

"The Second Highness agreed, and praised you for thinking properly."

Xie Qingci gently clenched his palms.

The second elder brother has always been competitive, in order to compete with the envoys of the Northern Kingdom, he has practiced hard for more than a month...

He couldn't help looking at Xie Huaiwei, their eyes collided in the air, Xie Huaiwei quickly turned his face away.

Timur waited for a long time, frowned and began to urge: "What will the first game be like? Your Majesty, please give me a charter."

At this time, a young eunuch came up holding the chessboard, and the black and white pieces were placed on both sides, apparently for a chess match.

Timur couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Xie Qingci stood up at this time, and said with a smile: "I heard that the envoy is very fond of Go, and often goes to various places to find people to compete with. My country is just the country of Go. In the first game, I will hold black and white two pieces. How about playing together?"

Even better than Go?

For a while, the Northern Kingdom envoys began to whisper.

Competitions have always been mostly related to martial arts, so playing chess is a bit unexpected.

But this game of Go... has a sense of commanding the layout, and it should be very interesting to compare.

Besides, Timur is a well-known Go master in their northern country, so he is not afraid of these people.

Looking at the smooth chessboard and jade-like pieces, Timur was eager to try.

"Okay!" Timur looked at Xie Qingci, and said with great interest: "Comparing chess is exactly what I want, to be honest, I am going to seek advice from the masters of the Gui Dynasty, I don't know who will play—— "

As soon as the words were finished, a graceful man stood up slowly, with a faint smile on his lips, he said calmly: "I will accompany you to the next round."

Everyone looked at it together, and couldn't help but gasp——

The person who spoke turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Xie Huayan got up, walked to the chessboard and sat down, with his sleeves firmly on his arms, his words and deeds were full of the air of a great country.

Timur somehow felt offended.

The crippled prince was so polite and decent, his arrogance made his arrogant attitude look like a joke.

Hehe, I'm used to pretending!

Timur suppressed the disdain in his heart, knelt on one side of the chessboard intentionally, and said with a fake smile: "Then I will ask His Highness for advice."

One of the two sat upright and cold, and the other was dissolute and casual. No matter they were people or their chess moves, they were very contrasting.

Timur's eyes were fixed on Xie Huayan provocatively, and there was a faint violent attack.

Xie Huayan rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly, picked up a white bag, and said in a voice like pearls and jade, "Your envoy is humble, please—"

Timur is a master of Go, and his style of chess is extremely fierce and decisive. This time, he was merciless in the game. After he came up, he directly swallowed Xie Huayan's left chess piece.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Timur smiled triumphantly, and his two canine teeth with a strong sense of intrusion made him gain the upper hand: "You have to hold the chess piece firmly with that hand, so as not to drop it and disturb the chess piece. Winning or losing a chess game doesn’t count.”

Xie Huayan didn't panic at all: "Your envoy, don't worry, even if the palace is defeated, it won't be so shameful."

The chess pieces landed on the chessboard, making a crisp and pleasant impact sound.

snort!

Timur clenched the chess piece in his hands calmly, Xie Huayan was uttered so many words by him, but he always looked at him with a smile, which seemed more and more inscrutable!

He didn't dare to be careless in his heart, but he made a casual and decisive gesture on his face.

As soon as the word fell, Xie Huayan reached out to the chessboard, and took away a large piece of him like the wind blowing!

"sorry!"

Xie Huayan's voice, which had never been turbulent, sounded clear and steady like deep water in a rock pool.

hateful!Timur gritted his teeth, why didn't he see the chess skills that way!

But this handicapped man is holding a white piece, and his fingers are whiter and more eye-catching against the softness of the piece.

Xie Huayan laid his eggs in a calm manner, and after a short time, he ate a large piece of sunspots of his own.

Timur broke out in a cold sweat, he had never had an opponent.

Why did he retreat steadily after being in the hands of the disabled prince?

The two confronted each other a few more times, and finally Timur couldn't bear to admit defeat, gritted his teeth and said, "I lost."

Xie Huayan gently put the white pieces into the chess bowl, his eyes were calm, and he couldn't find a single mistake: "Your envoy accepts the concession."

Seeing Timur's pitch, the referee immediately declared Beiguo's defeat in the first game.

"Timer." Xie Qingci approached with a smile: "In this world, whoever has the most strength in his hands can win. If you settle down and make progress steadily, you think it's because you have no hands to restrain you." Strength, in fact, every step of the way, using softness to overcome rigidity, can still kill the opponent without leaving a single piece of armor."

"Did you say so?"

Timur knew that Xie Qingci was mocking, but he couldn't say a word.

His face was stiff, which was unexpected.

He played chess in the Northern Kingdom, he was invincible, but he did not expect the prince's chess skills to be so superb,

Taking a breath, the envoys of the Northern Kingdom looked at each other and said, "Since the first round has been compared, it is naturally the turn of the second round. Archery and horseback riding have been compared before, so it's not interesting."

"This time, we want to fight in pairs, so that the people who can fight the most in the two dynasties will come out and fight hard."

"Although it is a battle between the two dynasties, it is a fierce battle after all. If people die, whether they are beaten to death or bitten to death... then you must consider yourself unlucky!"

After finishing speaking, Timur lightly clapped his hands and said, "Let our people come up."

As soon as the words fell, heavy footsteps approached from far to near, mixed with the light ringing of chains.

Everyone raised their heads vigilantly.

A tall and strong man was pulled in with his upper body bare. Although he was still walking, there was a string of iron chains around his neck. At this time, he was being held by someone like a dog, and the muscles on his shoulders gleamed with blood. Sweat, breathing heavily at the moment, his eyes swept over the people in the stands.

"This is the dog king of our northern kingdom. Many people beat him and bit him. As a result, the flesh and blood became the meal of our dog king..." Timur laughed loudly: "I don't know who in your dynasty wants to be with him?" He competes with each other?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

They have also heard more or less that the northerners are good at raising strong slaves and domesticating them into ferocious fighting warriors. Although they still look like humans, they are no different from terrifying beasts...

"Everyone here, is there anyone who would like to compete with him?" Seeing that the courtiers were indifferent, the emperor couldn't sit still: "I won, and I will reward you a lot!"

Still no response.

Although the slave of the Northern Kingdom still has a human form, his aura is that of a beast that has been slaughtered all year round. Although the generals present are brave, this kind of primitive and brutal close combat may not be able to defeat him.

Many of the young guards were eager to try, but seeing this man's ferocious appearance, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Xie Huaiwei was not afraid at all, and shouted as if he had won a lottery: "I'm going to compete!"

Timur smiled strangely, and looked Xie Huaiwei up and down: "Your Highness's body is full of gold, I am afraid it is not suitable for the competition."

Xie Huaiwei gritted his teeth in anger.

Timur's tone was contemptuous and mocking, clearly implying that he was very likely to be defeated by this person.

He still has to talk.

Suddenly heard a deep voice from above: "Wei Wei."

Xie Huaiwei was startled, it turned out to be the father.

The emperor said lightly: "Come here and help me pour wine."

He likes the bravery and fearlessness of his second son, but his son is only the royal son now, so he rushes forward to fight with this barbarian naked at every turn, losing the dignity of the emperor's relatives.

Looks very brainless.

Xie Huaiwei could hear the displeasure in his father's voice, he pulled the corners of his mouth and stopped talking, and obediently stood by the side to hold the lamp for his father.

There was a bit of satisfaction in Timur's eyes.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "I am willing to fight!"

Timur turned his head, and it was a boy who spoke.

He was dressed in black clothes, with a tight waist, and the lines of his whole body were tough and tight. Under the tough waistline, there were two strong and powerful long legs.

It's just that although this physique is extremely strong, compared with that dog king, it is obviously not enough.

Timur seemed to recognize the person who came, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Xiao Di, I never thought we would meet again."

When the Xie family did not become emperor, Xiao Di fought against Beiguo many times, and the two met several times on the battlefield.

Seeing the old man on such occasions now, Timur's eyes are somewhat playful.

"I heard that the Xiao family conspired against you, and you have been stripped of all your military positions." Timur raised his lips disdainfully: "Now you, what qualifications do you have to represent the court?"
