"What?"

"I mean, you're going to practice like this anyway, so why don't you play something else," Daria said casually, wiping the board, "I don't have much hope, so I might as well play now." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

She frowned, and couldn't help but glance at Zi Bu, who was drinking tea and not saying a word. The man still didn't have any expression, and he couldn't guess what they were thinking.

Liao Xueqing suspected that she hadn't heard Daria's words clearly, she frowned slightly, and her fingers couldn't help but feel that the sword was clenched. This sword was left by her deceased father, and her family was not famous for martial arts, but her ancestors happened to have made a little achievements on the battlefield, and happened to be rewarded by the emperor, and happened to retain the so-called title of 'prince and noble', which has been passed down to this day. Until she heard the news of her father's death, she never thought she would be on this path. As Daria said not long ago, she just relied on the connections left by her father and the title of 'declining nobleman' to go with the flow.

"There is no point in this kind of thing. ”

"You have to say that it is meaningless, most things in life are meaningless," Daria sat down in front of her, "stay with me a little, if you have to refuse, I can also say that it is an order." ”

She hesitated for a moment, but sat down in front of Daria. It's just that, looking at the familiar chess pieces, she almost forgot where to start.

"Ah, I just got into chess a while ago," Daria shrugged, "just play with it." ”

It always feels like time is passing slowly.

After a few games of chess, Liao Xueqing glanced at the clock hanging on the wall behind Daria from time to time, and it was only more than forty minutes that had passed. She gradually felt a little unpleasant, though she didn't know where it came from.

"That," Daria pushed the car forward, "are you really serious about playing chess?"

"I haven't played chess for a long time, I've forgotten," Liao Xueqing replied casually, "I'm just something of this level." ”

"Really?"

Daria held the teacup and looked at Liao Xueqing, who pushed the pawn with her hand, and narrowed her eyes.

"You're just 'fiddling' with these chess pieces, without the slightest thought, it's not like you're playing chess. ”

Liao Xueqing's movements paused, and the hand pushing the chess pieces stopped.

"Dio is an interesting person," Daria said suddenly, "during Operation Arctic... Well, you're not here yet, that guy looks like you, he looks bitter and hateful all day long, and he is also very serious about preparing the things needed for the war when he should be 'traveling', and when she sees me and Sixteen Nights both wearing civilian clothes and carrying suitcases, her expression is really wonderful. It's like when you apply for a military academy and go to school on the first day, you find that the people inside are singing the praises of youth and enjoying life to the fullest, which is full of contrast. ”

"And then?"

"Then, we got on a plane and prepared to skydive over the North Pole, and it was the polar night, and after looking for good weather, we skydive in the North Pole, and the guy broke his leg because of the first jump. At that time, I felt that she was letting go a little, at least a little bit of "finding herself". Until then, she, like many of the agents I've met, thought she had seen through the world and was in a "just get it done" mentality. It's infuriating to watch. ”

With that, Daria picked up the car on the board and slapped it in front of the board.

"Ah, Zi Buyu, can you make me a cup of tea?"

"Letting an alcoholic drink tea is an insult to tea, so I refuse. ”

"It's really... At that time, Dio didn't trust me and Sixteen Nights," Daria shrugged, touching her chin to observe the situation on the chessboard, "We are mercenaries who are already the limit of what she can accept. People who take money to do things are easier to use than guys who do things for purposes other than money. She was just acting with this simple thought, and even then, she was tired. ”

"I don't think so. ”

"Of course, in the eyes of others, she sits in an unattainable position, with good remuneration and activity funds, just to do what she wants to do, and it seems easy. But she had to be wary of anyone around her, including the so-called "D-10". She will only act for herself, which is the hardest life - it is much easier to live for others, you don't have to worry about your future, you don't need to think about your own thoughts, you can always find someone to support your beliefs. ”

"What the hell do you want to say?" Liao Xueqing turned her face away.

"Am I talking about something special?" Daria tilted her head, "I'm just talking about something related to our 'boss', compared to... I want to play this game better. ”

"It's not a big deal. ”

"It's your turn. Daria just looked at her and spread her hands.

“......”

Liao Xueqing sighed, and then turned her gaze to the chessboard. Before she knew it, the game was about to end, and she didn't pay attention to it at all, nor did she pay attention to the situation on the board. Before she knew it, she had lost a lot of chess pieces, and only one horse and one shot were left to use. She paused for a moment, and couldn't help but close her eyes.

"Can I throw in the towel?"

"No, I can't. Daria said with a smile.

"Is this an order?" asked Liao Xueqing helplessly.

"If you need an order to act, then I can give the order," Daria narrowed her eyes, "give me a way to win—this is my order." ”

How do you win?

"That's the order you want, and it's the kind of order you hear in the army every now and then. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. But even so, you have to do it. 'Obviously this guy doesn't know as much as I do, and even I see that there is no hope of winning in this situation, can't these bosses see it?' ”

“......”

"That's right," Daria said, propping her cheeks, "then I'll tell you, it's not that the bosses can't see it, it's that they have to do it." What they have on their shoulders is not only the victory or defeat of a battle, but also the honor of face..."

"I know. ”

In Daria's surprised eyes, Liao Xueqing slowly stretched out her hand and picked up the chess pieces.

"I understand... I know better than you do. No one expects me to win, no one to cheer me on, and no one to go back. I have neither relatives nor my own homeland behind me, so why the hell am I fighting in this situation.... I know better than you do. You must think I'm doing a drill with the idea that it doesn't matter if I'm dead, and I'm telling you now, I just don't think it's pointless. In my opinion, it's just a trick. ”

The pieces fall.

"How about Dior, how about you, it has nothing to do with me. What about the Ming Empire, what about Europe, I don't care. What's the point of proving myself? What can I get for my achievements? Whether it's money or power, I don't care at all. It doesn't matter if you want to get me fired from D-10, I'm not the same kind of person as you. Don't preach to me with a self-righteous expression!"

After playing this move, Liao Xueqing got up from her seat, turned her head and prepared to leave.

"Preach?" Dio thought so, "Preach, Dio, if you heard it, you thought so?"

"What's so funny?!"

"Sure enough, you're not fit to be a soldier," Daria said with a smile as she wiped tears from her eyes, "a guy like you will be kicked out of the army in less than two days." ”

"So what?" Liao Xueqing snorted coldly.

"No, I suddenly feel that Dio is really playing tricks on me," Daria nodded, "Then you listen, in half a month, Dio will have a test." If I lose, my treasure will be gone, and of course, you'll be the one who took the test. Little brat, you're going to have to win well. ”

“... That has nothing to do with me. ”

"How can it be okay? If you think so, Dior will definitely surprise you. ”

Daria affirmed.
