"It's not Mu Jing's vixen, I said a long time ago that you would kill her, it's good for you, you miss every time, this time you go to the court, but you still have a chance." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”、
"I asked Chunhong to inquire before, does Netherworld know? That is the most famous killer organization in the rivers and lakes, as long as you give money, you can guarantee that that person will not live the next day, I have already bought Mu Jing's head for you, you can rest assured. Chu Yewei said, looking at Murong Yue with a smile on her face.
Murong Yue was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What did you say?" Buy homicide, male... Ye Wei, this can't be done, that's a human life, you quickly retreat. ”
"Human life? Murong Yue, is your head really in the water, are there few lives in your hands, Chen Yu and Liu Yue back then, just because they glanced at Uncle Huang, you let them defile them, and in the end, both of them hanged themselves, and the child in Mu Jing's previous belly, didn't you get rid of it, isn't this human life? Chu Yewei said in a cold voice.
"Don't say it, don't say it, it's not me, it's not me who did it." Murong Yue shook her head, her expression was a little panicked, she didn't expect that she was just writing a novel, why did it become true, did she kill these people, not her, not her.
"It's time for a stick of incense, please put down the pen and paper in your hands." The white shopkeeper struck the gong and said.
The sound of this gong brought Murong Yue's mind back to her senses, and there was an inevitable light in her eyes, no matter what, she must get this win, she wants to go back, this is not the place she should be.
"Princess, there is a good saying, the prodigal son will not change his money, no matter what I have done before, I will never do it in the future." After Murong Yue finished speaking, she turned her head away from looking at Chu Yeyue.
Chu Yewei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "Murong Yue, that princess will take a good look at how you turned back." ”
"Just now the old man has handed over all the tea poems to the old lady, and then the second topic, the so-called art, naturally refers to the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, today I will ask all the ladies and ladies to choose one of them to compete, for the fairness of the game, Linjiang Pavilion specially invited the red sleeves of the tide fog." After the white shopkeeper finished speaking, a woman in a light cyan dress walked out behind her, her inky hair was pulled high into a flowing cloud bun, and a jasper hairpin was inserted monotonously.
Murong Yue looked at the women who came to the stage one after another, the tone she played was either gentle and lingering, or cheerful and beautiful, all of them had extremely high musical attainments, she couldn't play the piano, she could only write calligraphy, she could only write pen words, she had never practiced brushes, let alone painting.
There is only chess to choose and choose, but she doesn't know how to play Go yet, what can I do, I knew that she would have gone to learn, and now it is impossible.
"Next, Murong Yue." Tiaomist's light voice shouted.
Murong Yue's heart trembled, she walked out slowly, and said, "I'll choose chess." ”
"Miss Murong chooses chess? Please come with me. Xiwu paused, and then made a gesture of please.
With Murong Yue leaving, the lobby suddenly exploded, and most of the people here, not only the women's seats, but even the men's seats also had jokes that wanted to see her, and now they just left.
"Why don't you play chess outside, we were all playing the piano here just now."
"Yes, could it be that the so-called fairness of Linjiang Pavilion is just talking?"
"Who called someone the daughter of a general, and there is a sister who is the queen, it is understandable that Linjiang Pavilion will do this."
"I heard that this Murong Yue was divorced by King Rui, such a person can't stand it if he is anyone."
……
The white shopkeeper hurriedly walked up and said: "Please be calm, Linjiang Pavilion has always done things above board, but now it is just because the person who competes in chess is an old man in the mountains, and everyone knows his temper, and he has always disliked people around him when playing chess." ”
"Old Man of the Mountain?"
"It's worthy of Linjiang Pavilion, even the old man of Shanling can be invited, that's a holy hand in chess."
"Yes, wouldn't this be unfair to Miss Murong."
"What's unfair, this chess was chosen by herself, and no one forced her."
…..
"But don't worry, Linjiang Pavilion has arranged for people to guard it, and all the chess steps will be put on the chessboard above the lobby, so there is no unfairness." The white shopkeeper spoke again.
At this time, Murong Yue followed Xiwu to the box, and looked at the middle-aged man sitting inside, dressed in a white-washed coarse cloth robe, with his hair pulled up with a wooden hairpin, and the whole person revealed a Taoist style.
"Old Man Shanling, Miss Murong has arrived." Shio Mist spoke.
The man raised his head, glanced at Murong Yue, lowered his head again and said without waves: "Sit." ”
"Oh." Murong Yue nodded and sat opposite the old man of Shanling.
"I'll let you have ten sons, let's start." The old man of the mountain said.
Murong Yue took the white jade chess pieces, shook her head and said, "That old man from the mountains, I didn't come to play Go with you. ”
"Since it's not a game of chess, let's go out." The old man leaned back and closed his eyes slightly.
"I mean, Go is so boring, let's play it differently." Murong Yue said busily.
"Boring! Do you think playing chess is a boring thing? You go out. A sharp look shot out of the old man's eyes, and he immediately calmed down.
Murong Yue suddenly felt bad, she seemed to have made this old man of the mountain unhappy, it was she who said the wrong thing, and said after thinking about it again: "The old man of the mountain is already the person with the highest attainment in Go, the so-called high place is not cold, don't you want to try other ways to play." ”
"Chess is chess, the subtlety of chess, the old man is not sure that he can study it thoroughly in his life, and the so-called high attainments are just the mortal hearts of you people." The old man said coldly.
Murong Yue looked at the appearance of the old man in the mountains, knowing that she couldn't listen to what she said, so it was better to be practical, thinking of this, she picked up the white jade chess pieces and put them in the center of the chessboard.
Then pick up the black jade chess pieces beside the old man of Shanling and put them on, back and forth, in less than a stick of incense, the chessboard is already covered with black and white chess pieces.
"What are you doing?" The old man asked, staring at the chessboard.
"The old man of Shanling is a master of chess, what can you see?" Murong Yue asked without answering.
The old man of Shanling looked at the chessboard carefully, and said: "The art of vertical and horizontal, black and white kill, white chess is dead, this game has been decided, how can you still play randomly, ridiculous." ”
"It seems that the old man of the mountain is nothing more than that." Murong Yue smiled and said.
"What did you say?" The old man's face was flushed, you must know that what he was most proud of in his life was this good chess hand, and now he was ridiculed by a yellow-haired girl.
"Old man Shanling, please see, is there a vertical and horizontal diagonal line on this chess game, the white pieces are connected into four, and the black pieces are connected into four, but there are no chess pieces connected into five?" Murong Yue said.
“.… It's true, but the so-called Go doesn't pay attention to it...."The old man said.
"This is not Go, this is called backgammon, and the rules of backgammon are that the pieces of any color are connected first to form a five-piece, which is simple but fun." Murong Yue said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man of Shanling raised a touch of interest between his eyebrows and eyes, and said, "So that's the case. ”
"Why don't I accompany you in the next game?" Murong Yue saw that the plan was being implemented smoothly, and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's have a game." The old man nodded and said.
Murong Yue squinted her eyes and happily put a white child on the chess game, watching the old man of the mountain put down the black child, smiling like a little fox, she didn't believe that no matter how smart a person was, she would not be able to learn it as soon as she learned it, and she won the first game.
As the two of them landed in the box, the portrayal of the two on the chessboard was followed by the big chessboard hanging outside, and everyone in the lobby looked at the chess pieces on it, confused.
"What kind of trick is this?"
"I don't know, could it be a chess game newly researched by the old man of the mountain?"
"Maybe, I've never seen this move before, not even on the score."
"Then this Murong Yue is really powerful, she has not been defeated for so long under the old man of Shanling."
"Yes, I heard that she is a straw bale and has a brutal and vicious personality, but now it seems that she is not."
……
Finally, after a long time, Bai Zi fell on the chessboard, and the situation was decided, "The old man of the mountain tomb is defeated, and Murong Yue wins." As the sound of the tide fog fell, it was like a thunderclap that shattered the people in the lobby.
