Flying all over the sky is a male pet
Chapter 46
"I don't know." I replied calmly without looking at him.
There was another moment of silence, and then a faint chuckle came over, and the words were full of sarcasm: "I don't know? Lu Yamo, you seem to enjoy the process of deceiving."
I pursed my lips and didn't answer.He continued: "Let me guess, do you like Qi Langzhai's lover, or the man and woman outside just now? Why don't I go and bring him back right away, so that you two can be fulfilled within a month." Look at each other affectionately?"
I frowned, raised my head and said indifferently, "Zi Ling, pay attention to your wording."
His face was already expressionless, and the corners of his lips were obviously pressed down when I spoke like this, and his raised eyebrows seemed to be provocative: "Lu Yamo, if you didn't provoke me in the first place, it wouldn't be like this now. You still don't understand? When will I Have you ever abused yourself? If you didn't like me, why didn't you tell me earlier? Did you tell me that you lied to me after you promised to marry me? What do you think I am?"
I lowered my head and said nothing.
I know him.Always casual, often in a crazy posture, even a little defiant.These characters come from his noble status.As one of Jinghe's few male ministers, he enjoys Zhao Jin's indulgence, has nothing he wants but can't get, and no one who dares to offend him. In addition, he himself possesses rejuvenation medicine skills, although he is full of martial arts. The top in the world should have few opponents.He does have something to be proud of.
Just because I don't pay attention doesn't mean I don't know. Although his face is expressionless, those pure, deep, clean and bright eyes are full of sadness.He doesn't know how to restrain his feelings, but he hates showing depression in front of others, especially in front of me.The sadness at that moment just now can be said to be a gift.
He doesn't have many friends, this can be seen from his slender figure when he left the palace.With his status, he should be the object of currying favor to everyone in the court.When he left the palace, he shouldn't have no one to see him off.Even if you don't like his character, you still have to take care of your face.He deliberately kept a distance from others, even though he was a senior official of the fourth rank, few people knew about him, which showed that he didn't even go to court much.She has a happy personality and can see through the darkness of people's hearts. She is not stupid, but she doesn't like to calculate, and she is too lazy to fight wits with you.He is lazy, too lazy to care about things that have nothing to do with him, too lazy to care about people who have nothing to do with him. To put it bluntly, what he pays attention to is "self", never "others".
He said that I shouldn't have lied to him. I don't know why I lied to him at the time. If it was Luo Chen, even if I chose to remain silent, I would not choose to lie.In fact, subconsciously, I already feel that he is not easy to talk to, even though he said he likes me.
He won't indulge anyone for no reason, because no one can match himself.He can do whatever he wants, and he never asks other people's opinions first, for example, he kisses me when he feels emotional, and he doesn't care what I think.
What's more, it's not certain whether he likes me or not.
"Zi Ling," thinking of this, I raised my head, and said in a flat tone, "Actually, do you really like me?"
He pursed his thin lips tightly, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "I won't be like you."
"But are you really as Qingfeng said, whenever I need it, you will show up at the first time? Are you willing and without complaint every time? Are you really like what she said, you don't want anyone to hurt me , Do you just want to protect me? Do you really have no selfishness at all? Zi Ling, maybe that is really just an illusion, you are familiar with me, so it is very possible that you will misunderstand me."
After I finished speaking, I did not forget to observe his expression, but he suddenly curled up his lips and smiled mockingly: "I know you are very smart, I have naturally thought about these problems, if you want to make excuses, why don't you think about it first ? Tell me when you think about it, and I won't bother you anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the door before I could answer, and looked at me indifferently, showing the intention of seeing off the guest.
I closed my lips that still wanted to explain, and looked at him.
That face is cold, this is not the time to communicate properly.I sighed, buried my head and walked out from his side where he turned his face away, the door closed behind me, I was a little stunned, and finally walked back to my room, having a sleepless night.
I don't have time to think about these things, the task seems to be far away, and I don't want to make troubles when there are so many unknowns. I don't like Zuo Ziling, not because he is ugly, not because he treats me badly, but because I don't want to take the time Teach "children" how to restrain their feelings, how to become stable, mature, and how to be considerate of others.
Let it be like this for the time being, he gave me time, I will not waste it at will.
Early in the morning of the second day, I borrowed a pen and paper from Qingfeng, and began to silently write the chess records and endgames I had memorized.Did not go out until noon.
Qingfeng was worried that I would be hungry, so she asked someone to bring food to my room and eat with me.After the meal, I asked someone to remove the plate, and sat opposite me to drink tea slowly.I accidentally caught a glimpse of the rice paper I hadn't finished writing silently, and said with a slight smile: "Although you didn't tell me what happened yesterday, I can probably guess it. I rarely see you working hard to plan. You don't care about winning or losing. It seems that you are Someone wants you to win?"
I rubbed my temples, nodded lightly and said: "It's not that you have to win, as long as you can shine and catch people's attention."
"But you are the one who can do anything if you don't take it seriously." She smiled softly, with a doting light in her eyes.
I responded shallowly and drank tea slowly.
I am not impatient, this personality probably has something to do with my heart disease.Now my body is very good, there is no disease or pain, and it is also extremely beautiful. There is nothing worthy of my pickiness. "Just don't be too tired. I think you have too many things to do and you don't have much free time. Although you don't like Ziling, you still have to spend some time with him. Did you quarrel yesterday? He didn't go out this morning. Duan The food in the past has not been touched, it is obviously in a state of arrogance." When she talked about Zuo Ziling, she seemed very happy.
I put down my teacup, feeling my head ache again: "I told him yesterday that I don't like him."
Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "It's okay, don't worry, take your time."
I was surprised.
Wumei, the current Qingfeng, has really changed.Mature, soft and steady.The tone of speech is full of calm.Unlike before, he was free and easy, without thinking too much, and now he is also free and easy, but it is obviously different.If she was a bright golden color before, then after more than three years, she has become a dark gold, noble and pure.The accumulation of years has made her perfect, and she will be even more perfect in the future.
I suddenly felt that everything made sense.
Three days is not long.In a blink of an eye, it is the day when chess will be played.
Early in the morning, I changed into a moon-white female attire, and under Qingfeng's meticulous grooming, I instantly became a woman.When she pursed her lips, there would be a trace of coldness, but she was a talented man and a beautiful woman.
When they went downstairs, the people sent by Huangfu Huyi were already waiting beside the carriage.I was relieved not to see Zuo Ziling.Qingfeng escorted me to the door, and only said "do my best" and told me to go quickly, watching me get into the carriage before turning back and entering the inn.
When it was already time to arrive at the Third Prince's Mansion, led by the doorman, they went to the back hall to successfully meet with Huangfu Huyi and his wife.She dismissed the servants and asked me to sit down, and said with a slight smile: "I will trouble you for today's affairs."
I replied shallowly: "My lord knows why I came, so I don't dare to bother you. I wonder if he will reply?"
The Smiling Prince is indeed the Smiling Prince. Hearing me say this, the strong man's face was slightly dark, but she still smiled kindly and kindly. Others would think that I don't know how to flatter you, but I know it very well. Laughter is the result of accumulated pretending, without a trace of true feelings.
"The letter arrived yesterday, and there is still one for you. At his request, this letter can only be delivered to you after the chess meeting is over. Please Haihan."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes secretly in my heart, and with a calm face, I replied: "The villain will definitely do his best."
She nodded in satisfaction, and then began to talk about the rules of the chess club and who would attend.I listened indifferently, and after she finished explaining, I got up and walked out.I followed, but the strong man stayed behind.
The place where the chess club is held is Lixuan Academy, which is said to be the largest academy in Haoxi, where all the princes and daughters graduated.
My sedan chair followed Huangfu Huyi's sedan chair and stopped after a while.The chess meeting starts at [-]:[-] noon.As soon as I got out of the sedan chair, I put on an air of respect, and leaned over to pick her up from the sedan chair.
Looking at the many women coming in and out and the luxurious sedan chairs coming from time to time, I acted very calmly, and stood behind Huangfu Huyi with my head down.She started to enter the door, and I followed slowly. After going around for a while, I arrived at the backyard. At this moment, an elegant whisper came, the voice was low but soft, like a cello: "The third aunt came, never far away. Welcome, and I hope you will forgive me."
"The Ninth Prince was joking, it's really my fault that I didn't come earlier." Huangfu Huyi still had her fake amiable voice, and replied almost as if she wanted to salute.
After getting such an obvious hint, I am naturally not a fool, so I hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said in a respectful and soft voice: "The villain kowtows to the Ninth Prince, I hope that the Ninth Prince will be healthy and shine like the Pearl." Neutral, plus I deliberately lighten, no one can tell that I am a man.
There was a pair of pure white Liuhe boots in front of him, and the Ninth Prince with a beautiful voice said gently: "This must be the sage of the third aunt, can you raise your head?"
I was a little hesitant, but after hearing Huangfu Huyi's light cough, I slowly raised my head, and was instantly amazed.The man in front of him has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, dressed in pure white, detached and elegant, which seems to have a halo, his body is well-proportioned and slender, and his temperament is somewhat similar to Luo Chen's. It adds infinite style.There was also a hint of amazement in his eyes, and he returned to indifference in an instant, with a smile on his lips and a soft tone: "She is really a rare beauty in the world. I don't know the name of a sage?"
"The villain Zuo Yuling." I bowed my head, looking respectful and polite.Holding my arms with both hands, I stood up slowly.The Ninth Prince withdrew his hand, turned to Huangfu Huyi and said, "I wonder if Zuo Xianren is comparable to San Yi in his early years?"
Huangfu Huyi still said kindly: "It's really more than that."
The Ninth Prince laughed, and then his words seemed to be full of expectation and admiration: "Since this is the case, we really need to have a good discussion. The time is coming, why don't we go in first?"
Huangfu Huyi agreed, motioned for me to follow, and followed the Ninth Prince to the back hall.
As soon as the front foot stepped on the threshold, the originally noisy lobby suddenly became quiet.Huangfu Huyi's kind and gentle voice slowly came out: "I have kept all the sages waiting for a long time."
All the girls answered in unison: "Congratulations to the Third Prince, Prince Rong, and Prince Jing. The Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince."
Only then did I notice that we were not the only ones entering the door.People in luxurious brocade uniforms came in one after another from behind, I stood respectfully behind Huangfu Huyi, bowed my head and said nothing.
The "friendly and amiable" third prince continued: "All sages can let go of their minds today. I hope you can find news through chess friends. According to the old calendar, it will be presided over by Xueshi Fu. It is really my honor to meet you today. I would like to invite you all." Show off your talents and add luster to today's chess meeting." As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of compliments, and they all fell silent after a while, and then the old woman's voice was deep and serious, with a bit of coldness: "Thank you The sincerity of everyone attending the meeting. Everyone knows that today is the grand event of my Haoxi chess meeting over the years. I hope that all the sages will show their talents by doing their best. Chess comes from the heart. You can only control chess and compete. You must use chess to make friends. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, so don't let it hurt your peace. According to the old calendar, I will read the rules here, and I hope you will remember them in your heart.
This chess meeting is divided into two rounds. On the previous day, to solve the chess, all sages need to draw bamboo sticks and enter the corresponding room, and use their own strength to break the game on the chessboard. There is no time limit, and if you solve it, you will win. The second round is called the game.All players must win the first round, and the two sides face each other on the chessboard, in a space of 360 pieces, and the time limit is two hours.
Those who exceed the time should abandon the game and be removed from the game; those who play chess should not lose their hands, and the opponent who wins will be removed from the losing side; those who break up the game will be removed according to the signed book and borrow the law of others to break the game.
The winner of both rounds will enter the court to face the prince, choose one to fight, and if you break it, you will win and come out on top.
There is no big or small detail, and I hope all sages will keep it in mind.I am more polite, and invite all the princes and princes to sit down, and all the sages will take the lottery. "
Huangfu Huyi had told me the rules before, so I naturally remembered them clearly.
The smell made the women scatter in all directions, and went to the backyard to draw lots at the lottery point.With Huangfu Huyi's permission, I also went out to get the lottery, and walked to the back room under the leadership of the academy students.
These rooms are all the same, empty, with only a table and a chair in the corner.The newsboy who was in charge of reporting chess was sitting on a chair, waiting for my solution.
I approached the chessboard, black circles and white covering my eyes, and the white was in a desperate situation.
In the past three days, I have silently written all the chess games I have ever seen, and now my perception of chess moves is even a bit extraordinary.I stared at the chess game for a full quarter of an hour, and then blurted out: "Fourty-six invasion points, the Zhengzi goes to Tianyuan, the star position is divided into one and three, the 84th road is down, the flat position is [-]th, and the entry is [-]th. Gao Mu, Pounce and eat, break."
The newsboy quickly jotted down my answer and trotted all the way to the lobby.
In front of the lobby, there is a huge chessboard carved from a magnet. Xueshi Fu followed the instructions of his staff to make moves for the princes and princes to watch.The boy came back after a while, handed me a paper sign and led me into another room.
The layout is almost the same, only the chess table is clean, and there is an extra chess box.I sat on one side and waited for about 10 minutes before I saw a cold woman in a green shirt come in.The eyes were sharp and wise, and I was alert.
After bowing and saluting, she sat down, and she held the white first. At the beginning of the game, she flew and hung the corner, and the three-nine-way split shot, and the chess was fierce.I was amazed for a moment, and then I squared my posture and faced the game seriously.
Her way of playing chess is a bit like the Korean style, except that the Korean style breaks the corners and she wins by taking risks.This game of chess lasted for an hour, and in the end I narrowly won with one piece.
I got up and cupped my hands and said: "Accept."
On the contrary, the woman seemed to be overjoyed to meet her opponent, and bowed her body to return the salute: "When I saw someone outside today, Liao was willing to bow down. I only hope that there is still a chance, and I will definitely let you enjoy the game next time."
I smiled and said, "It must be remembered."
After winning two rounds, I can finally go to the lobby.Respectfully walking in front of Huangfu Huyi, I bowed down and saluted before entering the chess field.It was getting dark already, and the hall had already turned on the lights.
A total of seven people won the two rounds, and there were exactly seven luxurious men facing the lobby door.There was a chessboard in front of them each, and I saw the elegant and quiet Ninth Prince dressed in white at a glance, walked up to him almost without thinking, and bowed lightly in salute.
I have a good impression of him, and I feel that he is like snow, not as cold as snow, but like a heavy snow falling from the sky, elegant and noble.
He smiled slightly and said: "Zuo Xianren really lived up to everyone's expectations. He won the first two rounds very well. It is worthwhile to play a game with you."
Naturally, I would not lose some humility, but I was thinking about how to break his situation.The strong man said that there are very few people who can play against Huangfu Huyi unbeaten in three games, and the possibility of exaggeration cannot be ruled out, but the day I played chess with her, I felt that she was very skilled in chess, but Huangfu Huyi himself told me that this The Ninth Prince was one of the very few people who not only remained unbeaten in three rounds, but even beat her.
It's definitely not easy to play chess with him. I hold white first, and I can't be too aggressive. I don't guarantee that I can get it back. Small eyes are easy to lose. Although the split shot is good, it is not easy to catch it. It seems that the star position is laid out.
Just when I was thinking about how to make a move, he suddenly said: "It's just that the move is less interesting, how about I play blindfold chess with you?"
I was a little hesitant, but when I saw his gentle eyes, against the tear mole in the corner of his eyes, I unexpectedly nodded.
It's still Fu Xueshi holding the chess piece, and the Ninth Prince and I dictate the chess moves, this is blind chess without looking at the board.
I thought about it for a while, and said, "Xiaozi Xiaofei Hangjiao."
"Pingwei [-]th Road."
"Access to Sanjiu Road."
"Go to Wuliu Road."
…………
"Three and four point shots." I continued.
Unknowingly, this game of chess has a tendency to go to the endgame, and I have seen this endgame before, and I solved it on a whim.There was a moment of pride in my heart, and then I immediately suppressed it.I can't win this game of chess, it's enough to sell myself, there is no need to win, besides, he is the prince, I can't let him lose.It seems that there can only be a draw?In the draw, the technique has to be drawn out. It is necessary to show his talent without making people feel that I am useless.I remember that there was a round of "Golden Well Jie" in the ancient score, also called the cycle of three robberies, which was a very difficult draw.As the name suggests, the three-kalpa cycle means that there are three kalpas, no matter which position you play, you can't win, and some people can't get out of a game in their lifetime.
The Nine Princes' chess skills can naturally come out.
Thinking of this, I slightly changed the way of chess, and slowly moved towards a draw. He seemed to understand what I meant, and changed the way of chess along with me.
This game of chess has been played for an hour and a half. Seeing that there are more and more people around the huge chessboard, one of the staff has already defeated the tenth prince. If I lose the victory, she will be the first.
After the three calamities have been accomplished, a certain one in white and I both stopped talking, looked at each other and smiled.The crowd fell silent for a moment.
Everyone here knows how to play chess, so they naturally know the beauty of this game, and their gazes are filled with admiration and amazement.I bowed one by one and was about to walk towards Huangfu Huyi when I felt someone tug on my sleeve.I turned around and looked at the Ninth Prince who was smiling faintly, frowning to express doubts. "Please fight again in a few days." His voice was as elegant as a cello.
I was slightly taken aback, knowing that he saw that he would lose to me in the end if he followed the original chess move, and this was an unconvinced invitation to fight again.I smiled lightly, and said with my mouth: "There will be a period later."
Ignoring his slightly stunned expression, I went straight to Huangfu Huyi and bowed, standing behind her.The staff, princes and princes all crowded into the lobby, and it was time to present the awards, so it was inevitable that there would be some bureaucratic compliments.
Self-promotion was done well, Huangfu Huyi's smile seemed to reach his eyes for the first time, and his kind tone was really "kind", and he said in a low voice: "I know you are tired, his reply book is in Zhuo Jing's hands, You go back immediately, and leave the rest to me."
I bowed my head in response, and took advantage of the crowd to go out from an inconspicuous corner.As soon as I stepped out of the academy, I felt a sense of relief.The bustling noise and intrigue behind me have nothing to do with me, I just need to be myself.
I sat in the sedan chair and returned to the mansion of the Third Prince under the moonlight. Under the guidance of the doorman, I came to the back hall, where the strong man was sitting on the upper seat and drinking tea slowly.
"Where's his letter?" There was no servant, and my tone of voice, which was full of displeasure after performing the salute all day, would naturally not be any better.
The strong man put down his teacup with a smile, took out the letter from his pocket, handed it to me and said, "Do you recognize it? It's good for Hu Yidao to be talented, but he needs to have a good literary skill to get started. We can discuss it soon." How would you like to hire a master for you?"
My outstretched hand froze slightly, and I didn't accept it or not.My heart was dark, my eyes were suddenly cold, and I didn't speak.
The strong man said, "How about I read the letter for you?"
I was silent for a moment, and finally compromised, I handed him the letter and signaled him to read it quickly.
He opened the letter in front of me and read slowly: "Ya:
It has been more than half a month since you arrived in Haoxi, so you must have gotten used to it.Every time I think of you, although I am full of thoughts, but I am thousands of miles away, I hate my weakness, and I cannot give you a helping hand.I just hope you are safe and sound, and I will tell you some trifles.
I have seen a giant tiger in the forest, its back is so huge that it can block out the sun, the birds dare not sing when they see it, and they dare not float when encountering the wind.It is cunning, often waits among the bushes, and rushes to eat when things pass by, and everyone respects it.There is a giant elephant in the southeast. At the invitation of the ministers, go to block it. Those who try their best but fail to win will fall under it.And there are three giant eagles in the north, flying high with their wings, one is glorious and the other is glorious, soaring into the sky, looking at its momentum, but it is finally out of sight, thinking that it is wanton, and often leaps and plays with it.The tiger's sharp teeth are particularly sharp, and its emergency response is particularly swift. If one of its wings breaks down, the three of them will fall into danger together and fall into the tiger's mouth. It is really difficult to survive.
I know that you are smart and intelligent, and you have more than enough ideas, but remember that although the tiger is smiling, it is really not suitable to provoke it.
Recalling the day when you went out, I always feel regretful, hating that my wings did not spread out, and that I could not extend my wings to protect you. I always sent my love to Xiaoxiang, a young child with a pure temperament, and always shed tears. Thinking of you deeply, then The only way to blame yourself is to sit alone in the vestibule at night, watching the moon and sending lovesickness away.
Ya, I hope to return early.
Lo, the watchman. "
The words gradually stopped, but the lingering sound did not dissipate immediately.
Luo Chen, I suddenly understood a lot of things, about the mission, about me, about you...
The author has something to say:
jj made a mistake...it's been a week...it's been a good week o(╯□╰)It can't be more miserable.
About Go: 360 for one position, for the others, please ask Du Niang...
Chess box: a box for Go pieces, mostly made of wood.
The passage about Luo Chen mainly uses symbolism, and it is easy to understand if you read it carefully. If you connect it with the situation in the world, you can know who it is alluding to.
Stretch out your belly for a poke, scroll~~
There was another moment of silence, and then a faint chuckle came over, and the words were full of sarcasm: "I don't know? Lu Yamo, you seem to enjoy the process of deceiving."
I pursed my lips and didn't answer.He continued: "Let me guess, do you like Qi Langzhai's lover, or the man and woman outside just now? Why don't I go and bring him back right away, so that you two can be fulfilled within a month." Look at each other affectionately?"
I frowned, raised my head and said indifferently, "Zi Ling, pay attention to your wording."
His face was already expressionless, and the corners of his lips were obviously pressed down when I spoke like this, and his raised eyebrows seemed to be provocative: "Lu Yamo, if you didn't provoke me in the first place, it wouldn't be like this now. You still don't understand? When will I Have you ever abused yourself? If you didn't like me, why didn't you tell me earlier? Did you tell me that you lied to me after you promised to marry me? What do you think I am?"
I lowered my head and said nothing.
I know him.Always casual, often in a crazy posture, even a little defiant.These characters come from his noble status.As one of Jinghe's few male ministers, he enjoys Zhao Jin's indulgence, has nothing he wants but can't get, and no one who dares to offend him. In addition, he himself possesses rejuvenation medicine skills, although he is full of martial arts. The top in the world should have few opponents.He does have something to be proud of.
Just because I don't pay attention doesn't mean I don't know. Although his face is expressionless, those pure, deep, clean and bright eyes are full of sadness.He doesn't know how to restrain his feelings, but he hates showing depression in front of others, especially in front of me.The sadness at that moment just now can be said to be a gift.
He doesn't have many friends, this can be seen from his slender figure when he left the palace.With his status, he should be the object of currying favor to everyone in the court.When he left the palace, he shouldn't have no one to see him off.Even if you don't like his character, you still have to take care of your face.He deliberately kept a distance from others, even though he was a senior official of the fourth rank, few people knew about him, which showed that he didn't even go to court much.She has a happy personality and can see through the darkness of people's hearts. She is not stupid, but she doesn't like to calculate, and she is too lazy to fight wits with you.He is lazy, too lazy to care about things that have nothing to do with him, too lazy to care about people who have nothing to do with him. To put it bluntly, what he pays attention to is "self", never "others".
He said that I shouldn't have lied to him. I don't know why I lied to him at the time. If it was Luo Chen, even if I chose to remain silent, I would not choose to lie.In fact, subconsciously, I already feel that he is not easy to talk to, even though he said he likes me.
He won't indulge anyone for no reason, because no one can match himself.He can do whatever he wants, and he never asks other people's opinions first, for example, he kisses me when he feels emotional, and he doesn't care what I think.
What's more, it's not certain whether he likes me or not.
"Zi Ling," thinking of this, I raised my head, and said in a flat tone, "Actually, do you really like me?"
He pursed his thin lips tightly, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "I won't be like you."
"But are you really as Qingfeng said, whenever I need it, you will show up at the first time? Are you willing and without complaint every time? Are you really like what she said, you don't want anyone to hurt me , Do you just want to protect me? Do you really have no selfishness at all? Zi Ling, maybe that is really just an illusion, you are familiar with me, so it is very possible that you will misunderstand me."
After I finished speaking, I did not forget to observe his expression, but he suddenly curled up his lips and smiled mockingly: "I know you are very smart, I have naturally thought about these problems, if you want to make excuses, why don't you think about it first ? Tell me when you think about it, and I won't bother you anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the door before I could answer, and looked at me indifferently, showing the intention of seeing off the guest.
I closed my lips that still wanted to explain, and looked at him.
That face is cold, this is not the time to communicate properly.I sighed, buried my head and walked out from his side where he turned his face away, the door closed behind me, I was a little stunned, and finally walked back to my room, having a sleepless night.
I don't have time to think about these things, the task seems to be far away, and I don't want to make troubles when there are so many unknowns. I don't like Zuo Ziling, not because he is ugly, not because he treats me badly, but because I don't want to take the time Teach "children" how to restrain their feelings, how to become stable, mature, and how to be considerate of others.
Let it be like this for the time being, he gave me time, I will not waste it at will.
Early in the morning of the second day, I borrowed a pen and paper from Qingfeng, and began to silently write the chess records and endgames I had memorized.Did not go out until noon.
Qingfeng was worried that I would be hungry, so she asked someone to bring food to my room and eat with me.After the meal, I asked someone to remove the plate, and sat opposite me to drink tea slowly.I accidentally caught a glimpse of the rice paper I hadn't finished writing silently, and said with a slight smile: "Although you didn't tell me what happened yesterday, I can probably guess it. I rarely see you working hard to plan. You don't care about winning or losing. It seems that you are Someone wants you to win?"
I rubbed my temples, nodded lightly and said: "It's not that you have to win, as long as you can shine and catch people's attention."
"But you are the one who can do anything if you don't take it seriously." She smiled softly, with a doting light in her eyes.
I responded shallowly and drank tea slowly.
I am not impatient, this personality probably has something to do with my heart disease.Now my body is very good, there is no disease or pain, and it is also extremely beautiful. There is nothing worthy of my pickiness. "Just don't be too tired. I think you have too many things to do and you don't have much free time. Although you don't like Ziling, you still have to spend some time with him. Did you quarrel yesterday? He didn't go out this morning. Duan The food in the past has not been touched, it is obviously in a state of arrogance." When she talked about Zuo Ziling, she seemed very happy.
I put down my teacup, feeling my head ache again: "I told him yesterday that I don't like him."
Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "It's okay, don't worry, take your time."
I was surprised.
Wumei, the current Qingfeng, has really changed.Mature, soft and steady.The tone of speech is full of calm.Unlike before, he was free and easy, without thinking too much, and now he is also free and easy, but it is obviously different.If she was a bright golden color before, then after more than three years, she has become a dark gold, noble and pure.The accumulation of years has made her perfect, and she will be even more perfect in the future.
I suddenly felt that everything made sense.
Three days is not long.In a blink of an eye, it is the day when chess will be played.
Early in the morning, I changed into a moon-white female attire, and under Qingfeng's meticulous grooming, I instantly became a woman.When she pursed her lips, there would be a trace of coldness, but she was a talented man and a beautiful woman.
When they went downstairs, the people sent by Huangfu Huyi were already waiting beside the carriage.I was relieved not to see Zuo Ziling.Qingfeng escorted me to the door, and only said "do my best" and told me to go quickly, watching me get into the carriage before turning back and entering the inn.
When it was already time to arrive at the Third Prince's Mansion, led by the doorman, they went to the back hall to successfully meet with Huangfu Huyi and his wife.She dismissed the servants and asked me to sit down, and said with a slight smile: "I will trouble you for today's affairs."
I replied shallowly: "My lord knows why I came, so I don't dare to bother you. I wonder if he will reply?"
The Smiling Prince is indeed the Smiling Prince. Hearing me say this, the strong man's face was slightly dark, but she still smiled kindly and kindly. Others would think that I don't know how to flatter you, but I know it very well. Laughter is the result of accumulated pretending, without a trace of true feelings.
"The letter arrived yesterday, and there is still one for you. At his request, this letter can only be delivered to you after the chess meeting is over. Please Haihan."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes secretly in my heart, and with a calm face, I replied: "The villain will definitely do his best."
She nodded in satisfaction, and then began to talk about the rules of the chess club and who would attend.I listened indifferently, and after she finished explaining, I got up and walked out.I followed, but the strong man stayed behind.
The place where the chess club is held is Lixuan Academy, which is said to be the largest academy in Haoxi, where all the princes and daughters graduated.
My sedan chair followed Huangfu Huyi's sedan chair and stopped after a while.The chess meeting starts at [-]:[-] noon.As soon as I got out of the sedan chair, I put on an air of respect, and leaned over to pick her up from the sedan chair.
Looking at the many women coming in and out and the luxurious sedan chairs coming from time to time, I acted very calmly, and stood behind Huangfu Huyi with my head down.She started to enter the door, and I followed slowly. After going around for a while, I arrived at the backyard. At this moment, an elegant whisper came, the voice was low but soft, like a cello: "The third aunt came, never far away. Welcome, and I hope you will forgive me."
"The Ninth Prince was joking, it's really my fault that I didn't come earlier." Huangfu Huyi still had her fake amiable voice, and replied almost as if she wanted to salute.
After getting such an obvious hint, I am naturally not a fool, so I hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said in a respectful and soft voice: "The villain kowtows to the Ninth Prince, I hope that the Ninth Prince will be healthy and shine like the Pearl." Neutral, plus I deliberately lighten, no one can tell that I am a man.
There was a pair of pure white Liuhe boots in front of him, and the Ninth Prince with a beautiful voice said gently: "This must be the sage of the third aunt, can you raise your head?"
I was a little hesitant, but after hearing Huangfu Huyi's light cough, I slowly raised my head, and was instantly amazed.The man in front of him has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, dressed in pure white, detached and elegant, which seems to have a halo, his body is well-proportioned and slender, and his temperament is somewhat similar to Luo Chen's. It adds infinite style.There was also a hint of amazement in his eyes, and he returned to indifference in an instant, with a smile on his lips and a soft tone: "She is really a rare beauty in the world. I don't know the name of a sage?"
"The villain Zuo Yuling." I bowed my head, looking respectful and polite.Holding my arms with both hands, I stood up slowly.The Ninth Prince withdrew his hand, turned to Huangfu Huyi and said, "I wonder if Zuo Xianren is comparable to San Yi in his early years?"
Huangfu Huyi still said kindly: "It's really more than that."
The Ninth Prince laughed, and then his words seemed to be full of expectation and admiration: "Since this is the case, we really need to have a good discussion. The time is coming, why don't we go in first?"
Huangfu Huyi agreed, motioned for me to follow, and followed the Ninth Prince to the back hall.
As soon as the front foot stepped on the threshold, the originally noisy lobby suddenly became quiet.Huangfu Huyi's kind and gentle voice slowly came out: "I have kept all the sages waiting for a long time."
All the girls answered in unison: "Congratulations to the Third Prince, Prince Rong, and Prince Jing. The Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince."
Only then did I notice that we were not the only ones entering the door.People in luxurious brocade uniforms came in one after another from behind, I stood respectfully behind Huangfu Huyi, bowed my head and said nothing.
The "friendly and amiable" third prince continued: "All sages can let go of their minds today. I hope you can find news through chess friends. According to the old calendar, it will be presided over by Xueshi Fu. It is really my honor to meet you today. I would like to invite you all." Show off your talents and add luster to today's chess meeting." As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of compliments, and they all fell silent after a while, and then the old woman's voice was deep and serious, with a bit of coldness: "Thank you The sincerity of everyone attending the meeting. Everyone knows that today is the grand event of my Haoxi chess meeting over the years. I hope that all the sages will show their talents by doing their best. Chess comes from the heart. You can only control chess and compete. You must use chess to make friends. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, so don't let it hurt your peace. According to the old calendar, I will read the rules here, and I hope you will remember them in your heart.
This chess meeting is divided into two rounds. On the previous day, to solve the chess, all sages need to draw bamboo sticks and enter the corresponding room, and use their own strength to break the game on the chessboard. There is no time limit, and if you solve it, you will win. The second round is called the game.All players must win the first round, and the two sides face each other on the chessboard, in a space of 360 pieces, and the time limit is two hours.
Those who exceed the time should abandon the game and be removed from the game; those who play chess should not lose their hands, and the opponent who wins will be removed from the losing side; those who break up the game will be removed according to the signed book and borrow the law of others to break the game.
The winner of both rounds will enter the court to face the prince, choose one to fight, and if you break it, you will win and come out on top.
There is no big or small detail, and I hope all sages will keep it in mind.I am more polite, and invite all the princes and princes to sit down, and all the sages will take the lottery. "
Huangfu Huyi had told me the rules before, so I naturally remembered them clearly.
The smell made the women scatter in all directions, and went to the backyard to draw lots at the lottery point.With Huangfu Huyi's permission, I also went out to get the lottery, and walked to the back room under the leadership of the academy students.
These rooms are all the same, empty, with only a table and a chair in the corner.The newsboy who was in charge of reporting chess was sitting on a chair, waiting for my solution.
I approached the chessboard, black circles and white covering my eyes, and the white was in a desperate situation.
In the past three days, I have silently written all the chess games I have ever seen, and now my perception of chess moves is even a bit extraordinary.I stared at the chess game for a full quarter of an hour, and then blurted out: "Fourty-six invasion points, the Zhengzi goes to Tianyuan, the star position is divided into one and three, the 84th road is down, the flat position is [-]th, and the entry is [-]th. Gao Mu, Pounce and eat, break."
The newsboy quickly jotted down my answer and trotted all the way to the lobby.
In front of the lobby, there is a huge chessboard carved from a magnet. Xueshi Fu followed the instructions of his staff to make moves for the princes and princes to watch.The boy came back after a while, handed me a paper sign and led me into another room.
The layout is almost the same, only the chess table is clean, and there is an extra chess box.I sat on one side and waited for about 10 minutes before I saw a cold woman in a green shirt come in.The eyes were sharp and wise, and I was alert.
After bowing and saluting, she sat down, and she held the white first. At the beginning of the game, she flew and hung the corner, and the three-nine-way split shot, and the chess was fierce.I was amazed for a moment, and then I squared my posture and faced the game seriously.
Her way of playing chess is a bit like the Korean style, except that the Korean style breaks the corners and she wins by taking risks.This game of chess lasted for an hour, and in the end I narrowly won with one piece.
I got up and cupped my hands and said: "Accept."
On the contrary, the woman seemed to be overjoyed to meet her opponent, and bowed her body to return the salute: "When I saw someone outside today, Liao was willing to bow down. I only hope that there is still a chance, and I will definitely let you enjoy the game next time."
I smiled and said, "It must be remembered."
After winning two rounds, I can finally go to the lobby.Respectfully walking in front of Huangfu Huyi, I bowed down and saluted before entering the chess field.It was getting dark already, and the hall had already turned on the lights.
A total of seven people won the two rounds, and there were exactly seven luxurious men facing the lobby door.There was a chessboard in front of them each, and I saw the elegant and quiet Ninth Prince dressed in white at a glance, walked up to him almost without thinking, and bowed lightly in salute.
I have a good impression of him, and I feel that he is like snow, not as cold as snow, but like a heavy snow falling from the sky, elegant and noble.
He smiled slightly and said: "Zuo Xianren really lived up to everyone's expectations. He won the first two rounds very well. It is worthwhile to play a game with you."
Naturally, I would not lose some humility, but I was thinking about how to break his situation.The strong man said that there are very few people who can play against Huangfu Huyi unbeaten in three games, and the possibility of exaggeration cannot be ruled out, but the day I played chess with her, I felt that she was very skilled in chess, but Huangfu Huyi himself told me that this The Ninth Prince was one of the very few people who not only remained unbeaten in three rounds, but even beat her.
It's definitely not easy to play chess with him. I hold white first, and I can't be too aggressive. I don't guarantee that I can get it back. Small eyes are easy to lose. Although the split shot is good, it is not easy to catch it. It seems that the star position is laid out.
Just when I was thinking about how to make a move, he suddenly said: "It's just that the move is less interesting, how about I play blindfold chess with you?"
I was a little hesitant, but when I saw his gentle eyes, against the tear mole in the corner of his eyes, I unexpectedly nodded.
It's still Fu Xueshi holding the chess piece, and the Ninth Prince and I dictate the chess moves, this is blind chess without looking at the board.
I thought about it for a while, and said, "Xiaozi Xiaofei Hangjiao."
"Pingwei [-]th Road."
"Access to Sanjiu Road."
"Go to Wuliu Road."
…………
"Three and four point shots." I continued.
Unknowingly, this game of chess has a tendency to go to the endgame, and I have seen this endgame before, and I solved it on a whim.There was a moment of pride in my heart, and then I immediately suppressed it.I can't win this game of chess, it's enough to sell myself, there is no need to win, besides, he is the prince, I can't let him lose.It seems that there can only be a draw?In the draw, the technique has to be drawn out. It is necessary to show his talent without making people feel that I am useless.I remember that there was a round of "Golden Well Jie" in the ancient score, also called the cycle of three robberies, which was a very difficult draw.As the name suggests, the three-kalpa cycle means that there are three kalpas, no matter which position you play, you can't win, and some people can't get out of a game in their lifetime.
The Nine Princes' chess skills can naturally come out.
Thinking of this, I slightly changed the way of chess, and slowly moved towards a draw. He seemed to understand what I meant, and changed the way of chess along with me.
This game of chess has been played for an hour and a half. Seeing that there are more and more people around the huge chessboard, one of the staff has already defeated the tenth prince. If I lose the victory, she will be the first.
After the three calamities have been accomplished, a certain one in white and I both stopped talking, looked at each other and smiled.The crowd fell silent for a moment.
Everyone here knows how to play chess, so they naturally know the beauty of this game, and their gazes are filled with admiration and amazement.I bowed one by one and was about to walk towards Huangfu Huyi when I felt someone tug on my sleeve.I turned around and looked at the Ninth Prince who was smiling faintly, frowning to express doubts. "Please fight again in a few days." His voice was as elegant as a cello.
I was slightly taken aback, knowing that he saw that he would lose to me in the end if he followed the original chess move, and this was an unconvinced invitation to fight again.I smiled lightly, and said with my mouth: "There will be a period later."
Ignoring his slightly stunned expression, I went straight to Huangfu Huyi and bowed, standing behind her.The staff, princes and princes all crowded into the lobby, and it was time to present the awards, so it was inevitable that there would be some bureaucratic compliments.
Self-promotion was done well, Huangfu Huyi's smile seemed to reach his eyes for the first time, and his kind tone was really "kind", and he said in a low voice: "I know you are tired, his reply book is in Zhuo Jing's hands, You go back immediately, and leave the rest to me."
I bowed my head in response, and took advantage of the crowd to go out from an inconspicuous corner.As soon as I stepped out of the academy, I felt a sense of relief.The bustling noise and intrigue behind me have nothing to do with me, I just need to be myself.
I sat in the sedan chair and returned to the mansion of the Third Prince under the moonlight. Under the guidance of the doorman, I came to the back hall, where the strong man was sitting on the upper seat and drinking tea slowly.
"Where's his letter?" There was no servant, and my tone of voice, which was full of displeasure after performing the salute all day, would naturally not be any better.
The strong man put down his teacup with a smile, took out the letter from his pocket, handed it to me and said, "Do you recognize it? It's good for Hu Yidao to be talented, but he needs to have a good literary skill to get started. We can discuss it soon." How would you like to hire a master for you?"
My outstretched hand froze slightly, and I didn't accept it or not.My heart was dark, my eyes were suddenly cold, and I didn't speak.
The strong man said, "How about I read the letter for you?"
I was silent for a moment, and finally compromised, I handed him the letter and signaled him to read it quickly.
He opened the letter in front of me and read slowly: "Ya:
It has been more than half a month since you arrived in Haoxi, so you must have gotten used to it.Every time I think of you, although I am full of thoughts, but I am thousands of miles away, I hate my weakness, and I cannot give you a helping hand.I just hope you are safe and sound, and I will tell you some trifles.
I have seen a giant tiger in the forest, its back is so huge that it can block out the sun, the birds dare not sing when they see it, and they dare not float when encountering the wind.It is cunning, often waits among the bushes, and rushes to eat when things pass by, and everyone respects it.There is a giant elephant in the southeast. At the invitation of the ministers, go to block it. Those who try their best but fail to win will fall under it.And there are three giant eagles in the north, flying high with their wings, one is glorious and the other is glorious, soaring into the sky, looking at its momentum, but it is finally out of sight, thinking that it is wanton, and often leaps and plays with it.The tiger's sharp teeth are particularly sharp, and its emergency response is particularly swift. If one of its wings breaks down, the three of them will fall into danger together and fall into the tiger's mouth. It is really difficult to survive.
I know that you are smart and intelligent, and you have more than enough ideas, but remember that although the tiger is smiling, it is really not suitable to provoke it.
Recalling the day when you went out, I always feel regretful, hating that my wings did not spread out, and that I could not extend my wings to protect you. I always sent my love to Xiaoxiang, a young child with a pure temperament, and always shed tears. Thinking of you deeply, then The only way to blame yourself is to sit alone in the vestibule at night, watching the moon and sending lovesickness away.
Ya, I hope to return early.
Lo, the watchman. "
The words gradually stopped, but the lingering sound did not dissipate immediately.
Luo Chen, I suddenly understood a lot of things, about the mission, about me, about you...
The author has something to say:
jj made a mistake...it's been a week...it's been a good week o(╯□╰)It can't be more miserable.
About Go: 360 for one position, for the others, please ask Du Niang...
Chess box: a box for Go pieces, mostly made of wood.
The passage about Luo Chen mainly uses symbolism, and it is easy to understand if you read it carefully. If you connect it with the situation in the world, you can know who it is alluding to.
