The boy next to the ghost handed out the chessboard. Outside, King Hui's little servant had already sent the news to the palace, and Concubine Lin Guifei leaned on him, holding this year's new tea in her hand, which was pleasant, but she didn't have the heart to drink tea. The female officer knelt in front of her and talked about the situation of Tianxianglou. Lin Guifei frowned as she listened: "What's the matter, Zhao Shilang failed to drag Duanmu Jinghua down?" ”

Unexpectedly, the ghost suddenly proposed to accept apprentices today, and Concubine Lin Guifei asked Huangfu to send Zhao Shilang to the door to propose marriage, so Duanmu Jinghua would not have time to come to Tianxianglou to participate in the apprenticeship. It's just that I didn't expect him to catch up. The female officer replied: "Duanmu Jingyao ordered Zhao Shilang's smile**, and Zhao Shilang went back with his son in fright." The slave maid heard that Duanmu Jinghua didn't want to go to Tianxianglou, but Sheng Xuejian insisted on going. ”

"She insists on going?" Concubine Lin put down the teacup and pinched the handkerchief, the silk was already deformed. At this time, she didn't care about her future, so she went to Tianxianglou to join in the fun? Even if she is the first talented woman in Shengjing, she is just a reputation raised by those calligraphy and painting dealers and literati and artists, if she really wants to compare with those young talents, where can she compare! Concubine Lin's eyes revealed disdain. However, when things go wrong, there must be demons, and Lin Guifei will never risk her son's future. "Where is the news of the emperor and the queen mother in the palace?"

What happened in the Taifu Mansion yesterday had already been reported to the palace, otherwise she would not have known. If the emperor and the queen mother disagree extremely, then they are in the middle of it. Another female official knelt down in front of him and replied, "The emperor is nothing. It's just that the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied when she heard about it, but how to deal with this matter, there was no news from the Queen Mother's side. Lin Guifei smiled faintly: "This palace is enough as long as she is not satisfied." ”

"You continue to send that person to Tianxianglou to keep an eye on, but if there is anything, you will talk back." Concubine Lin Guifei was never at ease with Huangfu's cassia on the other side. I heard that the emperor plans to accept four apprentices this time. Speaking of which, many of the people who participated in the collection of disciples today were members of the staff of the Emperor Fu Cassia Ming. Except for Huangfu Chonglou and Duanmu Jinghua, his chances of winning are actually very large.

This first test took a whole morning, because the ghost array was one person against a hundred, and because there were more people, this time naturally increased. Most people are holding on and not willing to give up. But when it was almost noon, the ghost group began to play rapid chess and broke them one by one, and suddenly seventy people threw in and conceded defeat. Huangfu Cassia watched his staff fail and exit one by one. There wasn't much panic in my heart. Because today's Huangfu Chonglou is actually fighting alone, except for Duanmu Jinghua, no one else is involved.

Huangfu Cassia looked at the chessboard and had already figured out how to go next. As soon as he looked up to look for the figure of the ghost array, he saw the ghost array hurriedly drop a piece on Duanmu Jinghua's chessboard, and went to Sheng Xuejian's chessboard instead. It's just that the ghost didn't rush to play chess, but slowly looked at Sheng Xuejian and asked, "Why bother with the battle of the beast?" ”

Sheng Xue saw that he was in a hurry and rushed to Tianxianglou. In fact, she just had Sima as a live horse doctor. I didn't expect that she could actually handle this chess game, and suddenly felt that there was a play.

It's just that she didn't expect that for a long time in front of her, the emperor was just for temptation. When it came to the middle of the game, his majestic army of thousands of horses galloped over, and she really couldn't parry, but those people threw in one after another to admit defeat. Sheng Xuejian gritted her teeth, as long as she persevered to the end, it didn't matter if she won or lost. At this time, Sheng Xuejian secretly hated why he didn't practice chess skills well in the first place. Now it's so embarrassing. Faced with the question of the ghost array, Sheng Xue's face turned red. But at the thought of her impending fate, her face became firm again.

"I think Mr. has also heard the truth of putting death and then rebirth. Yukimi just wants to give it a go for herself! Sheng Xue looked up at the ghost group stubbornly, and the unyielding in her eyes was extremely pitiful. The ghost snapped and landed the sunspot on the chessboard, and Sheng Xuejian's chessboard was evil by three points. When she was about to fall into deep thought, she only heard the ghost said: "What a good one, let it go, worthy of Bai Zhi's daughter!" ”

"Does the gentleman know my mother, too?" Hearing the emperor mention his mother's name, Sheng Xue was surprised to see it, so she didn't care about so many people present, so she asked. The ghost for a while's face is still so calm and light, but he is not angry and arrogant. He didn't answer Sheng Xuejian's question, but walked to the next chessboard.

Sheng Xue saw that the ghost left for a while, but she didn't have time to pursue it again. Now that she has been trapped to death by the ghost array, she must find a way to delay, there are still thirty people on the field who are competing, she must not lose like this in the first game! Fortunately, there are still people who can't hold on even more than Sheng Xuejian, and by the time the ghost walked in front of Sheng Xuejian again, there were already nineteen people who had already thrown in and conceded defeat. There were eleven men left on the field. But if Sheng Xue saw that she couldn't survive this time, she would be the last person to be eliminated in this one.

The ghost was about to write a word, when suddenly his eyes fell carefully on the lower left corner of the chessboard, and he couldn't help but smile: "You are a little smarter than your mother." Without waiting for Sheng Xue to react, he dropped another son. Sheng Xue couldn't help but look back and be depressed when she saw that the trick she racked her brains to come up with was easily cracked by the ghost array. By the time of the next round, she could really only throw in the towel. Now she can only hope that there will be people after this round who can't hold it and admit defeat.

Fortunately, Sheng Xuejian's luck was really good, and finally there was a person with a pale face and a trembling thrower who admitted defeat. Although he was very unwilling, he retreated from the ghost after a few weeks of etiquette, and then ran out. Sheng Xue let out a long sigh of relief, and the ghost stood in the center and announced: "The rest of the people have entered the second game, and there is no need to play this chess again." You can take a break and we'll continue after lunch. ”

Huangfu Chonglou stood up suddenly, and the first one came to see Duanmu Jinghua's chess game, and couldn't help but be shocked: "This king was almost killed without leaving a piece of armor, and the situation on your chessboard is not bad?" If you go down any further, will you be able to win the emperor? Because of the loud voice of Huangfu Chonglou, everyone was attracted to come, and the remaining eight people involuntarily watched Duanmu Jinghua's chessboard, all with admiration on their faces. Sheng Xue also wanted to take a look, but she was a woman, and she was too short. I had to give up.

The results of the first game were transmitted to the palace, and Concubine Lin didn't have too many expressions when she heard it, just because Huangfu Cassia passed the first trial, which was not a difficult thing in the first place. It's just that she didn't expect that Sheng Xuejian actually survived and selected ten people from a hundred people. These people are all dragons and phoenixes among people, but Sheng Xue saw that they were not compared. Concubine Lin was suddenly a little scared.

Naturally, the news was also received in the Queen's Palace. It's just that she is much more relaxed than Concubine Lin. At this time, he is still making pastries for Huangfu Chonglou. After speaking, the female official couldn't help but look up at the queen, her face didn't change at all, and she couldn't help asking, "The queen." Aren't you happy at all? ”

"What's there to be happy about? It's just the first game, and if he doesn't, it would be weird. It's just that Bengong didn't guess wrong, that Sheng Xue saw that she was really not an ordinary woman. "The queen mother mentioned Sheng Xue's meeting. actually faintly hooked the corners of his lips. The female officer thought it was strange, but she didn't want to say anything more. After saluting, he withdrew.

The Queen Mother listened to the grandmother next to her report the situation in the morning, she was originally angry about Duanmu Jinghua's marriage, such a big thing. Prince Gong and the princess didn't know about entering the palace, did they really plan to let Sheng Xuejian, who had a low status, become the princess of Jinghua? Who doesn't know that Duanmu Jinghua is the young leader of the Apocalypse, who can get to today's status like him? But I heard that Sheng Xue saw that he had passed the first trial of the ghost array. The Queen Mother's anger has precipitated, can it be said that this Sheng Xue is really extraordinary?

Mama finished talking about what happened in Tianxianglou. couldn't help but say one more sentence: "A hundred years ago, an emperor accepted a female disciple, and that female disciple became the holy daughter of the Apocalypse, and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Apocalypse." I just don't know if this Miss Sheng family will be the second legend. ”

The Queen Mother leaned on the soft pillow and thought about it, if Sheng Xue saw that she was really favored by the ghost array, she became the holy daughter of the apocalypse, and her marriage would not be decided by the emperor and herself. However, by then, her identity has been equated with the princess of the Apocalypse, and it is not inconsistent with Duanmu Jinghua. "You continue to send people to Tianxianglou to watch, and if the second scene has a result, come back immediately to report it." After Mama got the order, she quietly retreated.

In Tianxiang Building, Sheng Xue saw that he came with Duanmu Jinghua, so he naturally had dinner with Duanmu Jinghua in the same room. It's just that this room is full of girls and entourage, and it's not like a lonely man and a widow living in the same room. Sheng Xue saw that she was drinking soup in small sips, and a burning gaze made her unable to live in peace, so she had to look up at Duanmu Jinghua opposite.

"Aman, you don't have to work so hard, I have a plan in my heart." Duanmu Jinghua's voice was like a clear spring, which was comforting, but Sheng Xue shook his head when he saw it: "I know that Prince Gong's Mansion is not an empty shelf, and I also know your true ability." But what I know, doesn't the emperor know? If you expose your bottom for me, even if I am really out of danger, I will not be at ease in this life. ”

Duanmu Jinghua thinks about her wholeheartedly, but why doesn't she think of him like this? Duanmu Jinghua's bright eyes kept looking at Sheng Xuejian, and in the end, only one voice remained: "Aman." ”

After everyone had eaten at noon, they all returned to the first floor, only to see five tables set up in the venue, and on the tables were actually leaf plays used by the people of the Apocalypse to spend time. Everyone looked at each other, unable to guess what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the ghost array. Huangfu Chonglou and Duanmu Jinghua were silent, and Huangfu Cassia was clearly the identity of the prince, so he stepped forward and asked, "Sir, is it planning to let us play leaf play?" ”

The ghost nodded with a smile. Except for the beginning, Mu Jinghua and the other six people's faces sank, some of them had been cold for ten years, and some of them practiced martial arts hard, but this second competition, is it too child's play? Ghost Gang naturally knew the thoughts of these people, and when everyone was about to stir, he slowly spoke: "Although it is a leaf play, it is not for you to follow the play of the leaf play." The first trial in the morning is to test the hills and valleys of your hearts. And this trial in the afternoon was not so easy. ”

With a wave of his hand, the boys closed the five tables. Those leaf play cards were piled up in one place. "There are exactly ten of you, I will divide you into two factions to fight and fight, and the last four who survive are my ghost apprentices. Don't say that this leaf drama is all about luck, a piece of luck is also a kind of strength! ”

The emperor had already said so, and those people were unwilling to give up, so they had to agree. This leaf play was originally a game that could only be made up by four people. But now that it's ten people, the rules have changed. Everyone has a card in their hand, but someone is responsible for cooperating, someone is responsible for attacking, and someone is setting a trap specifically as a decoy. But who will play these positions is a matter that needs to be discussed.

But as soon as Huangfu Cassia listened to the rules of the ghost array, he couldn't help but be happy, because except for Huangfu Chonglou, Duanmu Jinghua, and Sheng Xuejian, the rest of the people were all his own staff or henchmen. No matter how you divide into two factions, you always have the upper hand. Even if he has bad cards in his hand at that time, the opponent's camp also has its own internal response.

The discerning people who watched the game knew that this battle was obviously King Hui against King Jin, and King Jin was obviously at a disadvantage. It's just that Huangfu Cassia hasn't been complacent for too long, and the ghost took out a lottery holder: "You draw lots to decide." Get the yellow team, get the red team. "If this is the lottery of the Emperor Fu Cassia Ming will be dumbfounded immediately, if the team with the King of Jin is drawn, how should this be good?

But what I was afraid of came immediately, and Huangfu Cassia was really on the same team as Huangfu Chonglou. And Sheng Xuejian and Duanmu Jinghua became a team. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this. Is it impossible to let King Jin and King Hui stage a brotherly joint effort to kill the enemy? It's just that Huangfu Cassia's whereabouts soon had a plan. The emperor has already said that as long as the four people survive in the end, it will be fine. And he only needs to survive himself, so even if he damages the Huangfu Chonglou in his team, it is actually not in the way.

Sheng Xue saw that after winning the lot, she became worried. Both teams were separated from each other, because the remaining three were not their own at all. And the team where Huangfu Chonglou is located is obviously not under his control. Could it be that she really has no hope of surviving today? Suddenly, through the sleeve, the hand was quietly held, and when I looked back, it was Duanmu Jinghua's gentle and reassuring eyes. (To be continued)
