Chapter 114: The Endgame Continues Under the Moon
It was almost midnight, and the heavy snow finally stopped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The dark clouds in the sky are all dispersed, pure as a piece of jade in the deep mountains, a round of bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight spreads on the earth.
Yunyang, who was not sleepy, walked out of the night. She climbed on the willow-yellow cigarette screen and looked at it for a long time, and she felt an urge to go out.
She quietly walked to the rosewood gold lacquered phoenix pattern wardrobe, took out a water-red lambskin inlaid white fox fleece leader with red agate buckled hood soft fur, and put it on her body lightly.
Changing into a pair of Song Jin cotton boots with twisted gold thick soles and lotus patterns, Yun Yang tiptoed to the outer hall. After walking a few steps, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned in a different direction and walked towards Dobaoge.
Yunyang took the chessboard and chess pieces that had been made of silver thread from the stones a few days ago, rolled them into a tube, held them in his hand, and walked outside.
Maybe she was too tired today, or maybe she slept very deeply, and the attendant who was on duty in the outer hall slept soundly, and Yun Yang walked over her gently, and she didn't even notice it.
I didn't have much hope, but unexpectedly, the situation was better than expected. Yunyang came out of the dormitory and walked to the entrance of the palace, but the stone on duty at night did not wake up.
Next to the empty heavenly street, the cold invades the palace wall, the ice is wet and the green tiles, Yunyang is like a bird out of the cage, walking alone in the moonlight in the middle of winter, although it is lonely, there is also a rare freedom.
At the end of the Heavenly Street, there is the Heavenly Abyss Pond, which has been covered with thick ice. Yunyang looked at the Tianyuan Pool under the bright moonlight, ethereal and quiet, the strange mountain rocks during the day seemed to become soft at this time, the surroundings were silent, and the thoughts lingered like a spring, gurgling.
Yunyang bit his lip and walked slowly towards the Tianyuan Pond along the rocks on the shore.
At this time, the Heavenly Abyss Pond was a whole piece of ice that was pale cyan under the moonlight, and a thin layer of snow had fallen on it, and walking on it made a slight "crunching" sound.
Yun Yang walked towards the Immortal Mountain Fangjia and Yangshan Mountain in the middle of the Tianyuan Pool. In the past, you had to take a boat to these two mountains, but today you can travel directly under the moon, and there is a feeling of emptiness and ethereal, as if you are in a fairyland.
Ascending the fairy mountain, Yunyang came to the hanging corridor connecting the two mountains. She held her hand on the trunk and noticed that the moon seemed to be brighter and brighter from here than it was from below.
She unfolded the chessboard made of silver thread and hung it between the two pillars of the hanging gallery. The moonlight shone on it unobstructed, and a huge and clear chessboard silhouette was immediately cast on the Tianyuan Pond.
Yunyang looked down at the silhouette, a satisfied smile on the corner of her lips. That day, it was just a whim, and I asked the stone to weave this chessboard, imagining that hanging it in the moonlight might lead to a shadow, but today I did it, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Yunyang took out the chess pieces made of silver thread and slowly placed them on the board. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Yunyang turned out to be that Concubine Feng and Zhao Yuan didn't finish the endgame that day.
Just as she was concentrating on playing chess, a slender figure standing in the dark by the Tianyuan Pool was watching her every move. When he saw that she was putting on the endgame, this person finally couldn't help but come out of the shadows.
Due to the snow disaster that broke out in Yuzhang County, in order to deal with the matter quickly and properly, Zhao Yuan rushed back from Chongshan Temple despite the snowstorm in Luoyang. After dealing with the disaster relief with the hundred officials in the Xuande Palace, it was already midnight.
As if summoned by the moonlight tonight, Zhao Yuan walked out of the Xuande Hall alone and walked slowly along the edge of the Tianyuan Pool. Now, the bat venom in his body has been completely eliminated, and his posture and appearance have returned to their original appearance.
Zhao Yuan wore a sable crown on his head today, a jet-black thin velvet robe, a stiff animal skin arrow sleeve that reached his forearm on his wrist, and a majestic over-the-shoulder dragon embroidered with gold thread on his chest.
This shining golden dragon looked in the moonlight, in addition to its majesty, there was also an indescribable faint enchantment. It clinged to Zhao Yuan's body, starting from its broad and warm shoulders, skimming over his undulating strong chest, and wrapping around his waist under the dark python skin corset.
The sound of Zhao Yuan's black panther skin-inlaid ebony jade platform boots stepping on the thin snow and thick ice of the Heavenly Abyss Pool was so slight that Yun Yang hadn't noticed him when he stepped into the huge shadow chessboard in the Heavenly Abyss Pool.
Yoon-yang is concentrating on a chessboard suspended between the pillars. Due to the many times of review, this endgame has been deeply imprinted in Yunyang's mind, and she has set up the chess step by step without pausing to think.
After setting up the chess, Yun Yang looked down at the silhouette on the Tianyuan Pond with satisfaction, and saw at a glance the tall and upright figure standing in the shadow chessboard, which made her infinitely sad.
Zhao Yuan tilted his head and saw Yunyang's figure standing on the hanging corridor for a moment, knowing that she had discovered herself. Zhao Yuan didn't say hello, just put his hands behind his back and walked towards a place on the chessboard.
Yunyang's throat was like choking on a ball of cotton, and when he was at a loss, he was shocked when he saw Zhao Yuan's actions. When he saw the point where he stopped on the board, it instantly became clear that he wanted to finish the game.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Yunyang's heart, and when the two were playing against each other, Zhao Yuan gave in to Yunyang in every way. In the endgame, Yunyang's side has the advantage, and Zhao Yuan's side is forced into a remote corner, and there is no strength to fight.
has reviewed many times, and each time his side will win, Yunyang speculated that Zhao Yuan must also know the strength of the two sides on the board, and his side has no chance of winning. Why do you choose to continue?
Yun Yang didn't come up with a reason for a while, but he couldn't let Zhao Yuan stand there and wait, so he finished the game of chess. Yun Yang took out a chess piece and hung it on the corresponding node of the chessboard according to the position where Zhao Yuan was standing. Then according to the situation, he dealt with a son.
Zhao Yuan seemed to be quite satisfied with Yunyang's reaction, after seeing Yunyang's fall. Without pausing for a moment, he immediately walked towards another landing point.
If the last step, Zhao Yuan's walk was decent, this step, in Yunyang's opinion, is worse than a faint move.
Because, when Zhao Yuan took this step, he killed a big dragon with the best situation on his side. If this great dragon is dead, then his situation will be even more ugly.
However, this step is still a little threatening to Yunyang, if Yunyang does not block Zhao Yuan's step, there will be a small gap in the future.
Yunyang frowned, thinking to himself that his situation was already so embarrassing, it was the same whether it was blocked or not, it was better to defend well first and maintain the existing advantages. So Yunyang chose to take a defensive step and ignored Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan was not in a hurry, and he fell into a son similar to the self-slaying dragon just now. Yunyang was secretly worried about him: "Originally, his situation was very difficult, but this time he killed two big dragons, is he just seeking a quick defeat?" ”
Now, if Yunyang launches an attack, Zhao Yuan's side will definitely be defeated and defeated for thousands of miles. Yunyang thought to himself: "He has just recovered from a serious illness, why bother to make him angry again, I don't have to press him step by step." Anyway, he has no chance of winning, just drag a few more steps so that his loss is not too ugly. ”
So Yunyang once again chose to take a defensive step.
Zhao Yuan saw that she finally didn't hurt the killer, a trace of anxiety rippled in his eyes, and an imperceptible smile flashed on his lips.
