Chapter 153: Offering Buddha with Flowers
The venue gradually quieted down, the judges on the stage looked solemn, the audience sighed, only the Seven Princes were expressionless, and Mr. Qiu Ming looked indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was less than an inch of Buddha incense left in the incense burner, but Lin Wan's expression slowly returned to normal, and he raised his eyes to glance at Lan Ziheng, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes.
Lin Wan smiled slightly, gently picked up a black chess piece, and slowly landed it between the chaotic black and white chess pieces.
Lan Ziheng had already won the game, and waited for Lin Wan's decision carelessly. But when he saw the situation after this son fell, his eyes froze, and he couldn't believe that Bai Zi, who had always had the upper hand, was actually defeated.
Just when Lan Ziheng was stunned, Lin Wan turned his head to look at Gonggong Qi, who was also looking at the chess game in surprise, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Qi, please count to five." ”
Hearing this, Gonggong Qi suddenly came to his senses, looked at Lan Ziheng with some embarrassment, and said, "Prince Lan, please fall into place." ”
Lan Ziheng picked up the white child, raised his eyes and looked at the woman opposite, the woman smiled smartly, her eyes were clear, and she was like two people before.
Lan Ziheng knew that he had been deceived, but he was powerless to return to the sky. If there is enough time, he will definitely not lose, but if he wants to save the defeat before the incense is extinguished, it depends on whether Lin Wan agrees or not.
Because, Lin Wan only needs to drop three more sunspots to gain the upper hand, and after the three sons, the white sons can slowly recover the situation. Obviously, Lin Wan had already calculated the time, and if it was limited to five, the remaining time would be just enough for the next three sons.
Looking at the Buddha incense that was about to burn out, Lan Ziheng frowned, and quickly dropped Bai Zi, hoping to win back the defeat before the incense embers.
However, Lin Wan didn't intend to let him get his wish, and he didn't want to hold the sunspot for a long time.
The audience, who had long lost hope for the ending, were talking about Miss Lin Qi's recklessness and felt sorry for Mr. Qiu Ming.
"Huh!" a puzzle drew everyone's attention back to the chess game.
When the chess boy put down a white piece that Lan Ziheng had just dropped, the audience was already boiling. The people who have been paying attention to the chess game are paying attention to the battle situation while proudly telling the people around them how Miss Lin Qi turned things around.
Seeing that Lin Wan was about to win, she didn't fall behind. Most people were puzzled, but those who had already seen the mystery laughed and didn't say anything.
Gonggong Qi had already begun to report the number, no matter how the audience urged, Lin Wan was unmoved, until Gonggong Qi was about to count to five o'clock, and then the sunspot fell.
Lan Ziheng knew in his heart that Lin Wan had made up his mind to delay, and it was impossible for him to get back into the situation. had to use delaying tactics as well, and Gong Qi didn't settle until five o'clock.
The hall was silent, and even the less intelligent could tell that the two were stalling for time.
As soon as Baizi settled, Lin Wan changed his previous delaying strategy and quickly fell into Heizi.
Lan Ziheng looked at the cunning and treacherous little woman in front of him, and was immediately laughed at angrily. Helplessly, he looked at the Buddha incense curling with green smoke, looking forward to it burning now, if it is extinguished now, it will be a draw at most, and he will not lose yet.
But the truth is often unsatisfactory, when Qi Gong publicly counted five, the Buddha incense had not been extinguished, and Lan Ziheng had no choice but to drop another white seed.
Lin Wan's face raised a bright smile, and he said lightly: "Accept!"
Then, he turned his head unhurriedly and stared intently at the Buddha incense, and at the moment before the Buddha incense was extinguished, Lin Wan left the last son.
The sunspot settled and left his hand, and the incense was extinguished. At the same time, Gonggong Qi announced loudly: "The competition is over!"
Lin Wan stood up, bowed to Lan Ziheng, and without waiting for the results of the competition to be announced, she turned around and walked to her seat, as if the victory or defeat had nothing to do with her.
Lan Zi looked at Lin Wan's departing figure for a long time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a smile was pulled, but there was a chilling chill in his slightly narrowed black eyes. Then, he also got up and walked straight to his judges' seat on the stage, with a tall posture, graceful demeanor, and light wind, as if winning or losing was just a game.
After the chess boy placed the last chess piece, he began to calculate the number, and several chess players came up with a consistent answer and reported the result to Qi Gonggong.
Gonggong Qi nodded, walked up to the high platform, and said to Zhou Chang'an: "Back to the emperor, Miss Lin Qi is better than a half." ”
Zhou Changan nodded, looked at Qiu Ming and Lan Ziheng left and right, and asked, "What questions do Qiu Xian's nephews and Prince Lan have about this result?"
Qiu Ming respectfully clenched his fists and said, "If you return to the emperor, the grass people have no objections. ”
Zhou Chang'an saw Qiu Ming's respectful and estranged, and there was a hidden displeasure in his heart, Qiu Ming's father Qiu Xinxiao used to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the young master of the prince, but after the death of the old lady Qiu seven years ago, he resigned and returned to Jiangnan, and his son inherited his father's business and was in charge of Jiangnan Academy.
Five years ago, Qiu Ming participated in the scientific examination, won the double champion of civil and military affairs, but he did not want to be an official, insisted on returning to the academy to teach, over the years Jiangnan Academy students are all over the world, Qiu Ming's influence among the people in the world is getting bigger and bigger, Zhou Changan invited him to be this judge this time, is to persuade him to enter the court as an official, and now his attitude, it seems that he is still unwilling to enter the office.
Lan Ziheng nodded, turned sideways to face Qiu Ming, and said sincerely, "This prince is willing to gamble and lose, what conditions does Mr. Qiu have, just mention it." ”
Qiu Ming shook his head and said humbly: "I don't want anything from here. ”
Lan Ziheng frowned slightly when he heard this, waved his big hand, and said unhappily: "In front of so many people, how can Mr. Qiu let Prince Ben break his promise?"
Qiu Ming's face was full of confusion, very embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly rejoiced, and said, "In this case, I have an idea below, I don't know if it's okay?"
Lan Ziheng laughed and said loudly: "As long as this prince can do it, Mr. Qiu will mention it, and this prince will do his best for Mr." ”
Qiu Ming nodded, turned his head to look at Lin Wan in the audience, and said with a slight smile: "Miss Lin Qi is very smart, although her chess skills are not as good as Prince Lan, but she used the rules to help Zai win this gamble, and Zai Xia has nothing to repay, so he wants to borrow flowers to offer Buddha and transfer this condition to Miss Lin Qi, can Prince Lan agree?"
Lan Ziheng was stunned when he heard this, and secretly complained in his heart, of course Mr. Qiu Ming would not make any excessive requests, but if that eccentric little girl was allowed to mention this condition, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lan Ziyue was already so angry when she saw Lin Wan'er win, she couldn't help it anymore at the moment, she suddenly stood up and shouted, "No! Lin Wan'er is cunning and scheming. It was by deceit that she won my imperial brother, and if she proposed that she want to marry my imperial brother, would I still marry such a woman in Nanyue and go back to be the crown princess?" )
