Chapter 26 The Game

The man with the jade mask suddenly appeared, which Xiao Wanyao did not expect, Xiao Wanyao felt a kind of oppression, and looked at her father in a little panic.

"This gentleman, although the little girl is slightly similar to piano skills and calligraphy and painting, but she doesn't know how to play chess, I'm sorry, I disappointed Mr." Xiao Man saw his daughter's helplessness, thinking about it, it was really difficult for a strong man, although he also hoped that his daughter could do anything, but the reality was here, and Xiao Man couldn't force it.

The third master didn't speak, no one could guess the expression behind the mask, and the atmosphere became weird for a while, and Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but be a little scared.

"Sir, Wan Yao can't play chess, so I've disappointed you, sir." Xiao Wanyao was afraid that he hadn't heard what Xiao Man had just said, so she repeated it again.

The third master didn't move, and said word by word: "Second Miss Xiao obviously knows, but she just doesn't want to give me this face." ”

Xiao Wanyao frowned, the oppression of the man in front of her when he spoke was too great, making people feel that they didn't dare to refuse, and she looked at her father Xiao Man helplessly, at this time she only had her father as a life-saving straw.

Xiao Man was also very helpless, it seemed that Xiao Wanyao was really not up to the task of playing chess, but she was still ruthless and agreed: "Just fulfill Mr.'s wishes!" But the old man said ugly things in front, playing chess was forced by the gentleman himself, the little girl Wan Yao is not a saint who is proficient in everything, the old man promised Mr. is just out of politeness, no matter whether he wins or loses, please don't embarrass the little daughter Wan Yao. ”

Xiao Wanyao almost wanted to hold her forehead and faint, she wanted to beg her father to excuse herself, but her father was good and agreed directly.

"That's nature." The third master spoke in a stiff tone, even if his voice was good, he couldn't win Xiao Wanyao's favor.

Soon, someone brought a chessboard and put it on the table, and the third master sat opposite Xiao Wanyao, quietly waiting for Xiao Wanyao to take a seat.

Xiao Wanyao also can't say anything at this time, playing chess is like a war, if she loses in momentum, she basically loses, Xiao Wanyao is only a little familiar with chess, which is really not her strong point. But under everyone's expectant gaze, Xiao Wanyao still sat down.

"I'm going to go first." Xiao Wanyao said firmly.

The third master shook his head: "You don't say this kind of thing, let's guess and decide." ”

Xiao Wanyao didn't expect this man to be so stingy, and her palms were already sweating, but she had no choice but to guess with the other party, and she would win or lose in one game, Xiao Wanyao defeated the third master's cloth with scissors.

"Kuroko first." The third master said bluntly to Xiao Wanyao, Xiao Wanyao was glad that she could go first, and it was best if she won the guessing box, so she didn't have to owe this man a favor.

The first move doesn't have to think too much, just take the corner. The third master didn't make any new ideas, and the two of them played chess in the early stage, but it still made everyone sweat.

Xiao Wanyao played chess cautiously, at this time she had already made up her mind, she would lose this game of chess no matter what, but she had to lose wonderfully, and the loss would not show any traces, so as not to make Xiao Man feel embarrassed.

In Xiao Wanyao's opinion, the man in front of him is not a simple character, if he wins him, he will definitely come again, which will only make Xiao Wanyao annoyed, even if it is a tie, he can't stand a strange man who often comes to the door to stalk, and besides, a tie is more difficult than winning or losing.

Playing chess never depends on luck, but in addition to experience and strength, it also depends on strategy, for example, now, the chess game is more than halfway through, and the two of them can't see the victory or defeat, but Xiao Wanyao just doesn't eat the other party's chess, because these are all kids, greedy for small profits will only spoil the overall situation, eat the opponent's two pieces, and this hard-working chess game will be over.

"Don't be greedy if you win, don't be discouraged when you lose", at this time, both of them have already done it, one second Xiao Wanyao took retreat as an advance to protect the overall situation, and the next second the third master even ate six sons and killed a piece.

Everyone was dizzy and shouted!

What's even more amazing is that the two of them have passed half of the chess game, but they can still show their magic to protect their side, and their abilities are really comparable.

At this moment, the corners of Xiao Wanyao's mouth raised slightly, knowing that this chess game had satisfied everyone present, and she would not care about winning or losing, and this was also the moment when she could end the game.

Xiao Wanyao inadvertently created a gap for the other party, so that her black chess pieces were killed a large piece, in fact, Xiao Wanyao still had a chance to save herself, but she pretended not to know, and quietly bypassed, so the third master won the chess game.

"You deliberately let me?" The third master saw Xiao Wanyao's thoughts, and his voice was still stiff, and he was still puzzled at this time.

Xiao Wanyao smiled and said in a low voice: "Wan Yao's move is called 'retreat as advance', not to let Mr. remember, but also to remember the promise he made to his father before, and after the chess game, he will no longer embarrass Wan Yao." ”

The third master bowed his head, and he didn't get angry after hearing it, and his tone was still calm: "That's nature." After that, he got off the stage, and Shi Shiran left.

Xiao Man was overjoyed by this, although Xiao Wanyao lost the chess game, but he did not lose face, so Xiao Man still happily accepted this ending.

Xiao Wanyao also breathed a sigh of relief, because she didn't need to show up for the next activities, and her appearance today was exciting enough, so she could go home with Xiao Wanrou.

The next thing is that other people show their abilities in the Bowen Pavilion, but Xiao Wanyao at this time doesn't know anything about it, as for who they are, that's all for later.

Xiao Wanyao returned home, and sure enough, she was called over by Liu Ruyun, and it was similar to what Xiao Wanyao expected, Liu Ruyun called her over to hurt her openly and secretly, saying that she had robbed her sister Xiao Wanrou of the limelight and something like that. Xiao Wanyao was only obedient to her on the surface, and she didn't take her words to heart, and after about half an hour, Liu Ruyun was tired of scolding, so she let Xiao Wanyao go back.

After Xiao Wanyao left, Liu Ruyun leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes freely, and after a while, a person walked out from behind the curtain, it was none other than Xiao Wanrou.

"Mother, the method you said really works?" Xiao Wanrou couldn't help but feel sad, for fear that today's forbearance and efforts would be in vain, but let Xiao Wanyao take advantage of it and be in the limelight.

Liu Ruyun's face was leisurely, and she said unhurriedly: "How is Xiao Wanyao's little slut today?" ”

Xiao Wanrou secretly gritted her teeth, and said hatefully: "Naturally, she was out of the limelight, and her father couldn't help but stand on her side." ”

Liu Ruyun didn't laugh angrily: "That's right, the more she is in the limelight, the closer she is to the day of her failure." ”

Xiao Wanrou knew that Liu Ruyun had a plan, but she still couldn't help but be curious: "Mother, now that the matter is over, can you sue me?" ”

Liu Ruyun smiled secretly: "Come over your ears and listen to my mother tell you carefully......"

Xiao Wanyao didn't know about their conspiracy, and after returning to her house, she asked Licorice to bring the ointment, she looked at her right hand, and now the scar is completely invisible, and it is enough to wipe it again today.

Here she was casually rubbing the ointment, and suddenly thought of Xiao Wanrou's disabled right hand, her hand was not only disabled, but also had the scratches left before, and now it has fallen scars.

Xiao Wanyao originally wanted to leave the remaining ointment for Xiao Wanrou to use, but she felt that there was too little left and was insincere, so she finally decided to prepare some medicine and give her a box in a few days, and apply the scar to reduce some scars, so that she would be better to marry in the future.

Soon Xiao Wanyao couldn't help laughing, what's wrong with herself? suddenly began to sympathize with Xiao Wanrou's slut, obviously when she entered the mansion, she had already sworn that she would not let the mother and daughter have a good time, but why did she soften her heart at this time?

Xiao Wanyao put down the ointment in her hand, thinking to herself, after all, she will get married in a few days, and she will not see her again in life, old age, sickness and death, so it should be the last good thing she did before leaving!

The activities over there in the Bowen Pavilion have ended, and the third master and Dongfang Yu have disappeared after the game, Xiao Man's activities here are smooth, and he is in a good mood, and he is about to prepare the carriage to go home, but he was stopped.

"Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, don't be in a hurry to leave, the widow is not finished yet."

A clear male voice stopped Xiao Man, Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, and then turned around.

"Holy Lord!? When did you come? Why don't you say a word to the minister, the minister is snub and shy. Xiao Man hurriedly knelt down, and the man in front of him was the third master with a body as straight as a sword.

The third master said with a faint smile on his lips: "Don't be like this for a while, doesn't Prime Minister Xiao know the widow?" As he spoke, the third master took out a white jade mask from behind him, which he used when he came to the stage just now.

Xiao Man suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, although it was cold in late autumn, but the sweat also lost his clothes, it was not that Xiao Man was afraid of the new emperor, but he thought that the emperor came to the Bowen Pavilion in obscurity, and he must have his purpose.

"It turns out that the gambling master just now is the saint, but the old minister is dizzy and walks away, and he doesn't recognize the saint." Xiao Man had to kneel in place until the third master stepped forward to help him up.

"Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is too worried, the widow is just curious about the Bowen Museum, and after coming, he went up to play chess with Miss Xiao after he was playful, and now that I think about it, it was the widow who was reckless." The emperor smiled faintly, and his words were not unpleasant.

"It's good that the saint has fun, and the minister is willing to accompany the saint all the time in the Bowen Pavilion." Xiao Man said.

The emperor shook his head and said with a heavy heart: "It's not necessary, it's just that the widow has a reluctant request, and I don't know if Prime Minister Xiao Cheng can agree." ”

"Holy one, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Xiao Man is an old fox, how can he easily promise an unknown thing? What he feared the most was that the saint was going to his Bowen Pavilion for nothing, after all, this was his hard work, and if it was something else, it would be easy to discuss.

"The widow hopes that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng can promise the second miss to the widow, although the widow can't promise to give the second miss Xiao the throne, but he can definitely be the widow's imperial concubine, one person in the harem is above ten thousand people, the widow promises to give Xiao Cheng Prime Minister I glory, and will definitely take care of Miss Xiao Er for a lifetime!" The emperor looked at Xiao Man with a solemn expression, as if he was moved.

And Xiao Man was at this moment, sweat was already soaking through the entire placket. I1483
