Chapter 241: Qionglou Contest (4)
Song Xuequan saw that Mu Zhengnan had lost three games and wanted to save some face for him, so he asked, "Do you want to continue to compete?" ”
Mu Zhengnan's face was cold, and he said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is rare to have this opportunity to ask Master Lu for advice, Xiao Wang should cherish it!" ”
Now that I have lost three games, I have lost face, and if I can win or draw next, I can save some face a little.
Seeing this, Song Xuequan ordered someone to put on the chessboard and let the two of them play chess.
Lu Jing and Mu Zhengnan spent half an hour setting up their own chess games, and then swapped positions.
Lu Jing saw that Mu Zhengnan was setting up an unsolved endgame ancient score, and knew that he had the same mind as himself at the beginning, and he was too lazy to waste energy to crack it, so he sat there and closed his eyes to recuperate, preparing for the next game.
Mu Zhengnan saw that Lu Jing was not an ancient score, his heart tightened, his face suddenly looked difficult to see, and when he saw that the timer had started, he couldn't care about anything else, so he was busy cracking it.
Everyone saw Lu Jing sitting in front of the chessboard and closed his eyes slightly, thinking that he would close his eyes and meditate again, worried about disturbing him, and the discussion was much quieter.
Seeing Mu Zhengnan swaying with a chess piece in his hand, they were curious about what chess game Lu Jing had played.
Lin Daiyu held the clairvoyant mirror and looked at Lu Jing's chessboard, and when she saw that it was Lianzhu's hundred-eyed killing, she knew his plan, so she handed the clairvoyant mirror to Zijuan and asked her to watch how Mu Zhengnan fell and reported to herself at any time.
Seeing that more than half of the time had passed, Xue Baoqin saw that Lu Jing had not yet opened his eyes, and was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked Daiyu: "Sister Lin, why doesn't Lord Lu do it yet?" ”
Lin Daiyu saw that Mu Zhengnan's chess path was deviant, and she knew that she had a chance to win this game, so she was happy in her heart, so she teased Baoqin and said: "Tell Lord Lu to see more, you can just call him brother-in-law." ”
Xue Baoqin nodded and asked again.
Lin Daiyu smiled: "It is estimated that he is asleep!" ”
Xue Baoqin shook Daiyu's arm and said, "Sister, don't lie to me, now that I'm competing, how can my brother-in-law fall asleep." ”
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "That is, he saw that the other party lost too badly and wanted to let him play a game." ”
Xue Baoqin blinked a pair of big bright eyes, and there was suspicion in his eyes.
Lu Zhiyu pulled her and smiled: "If you call me sister, I'll tell you why?" ”
Xue Baoqin snorted, shook her head and said, "You are not as big as me, why should I call you sister!" ”
Xue Baochai sat dignified on the side, seeing that Daiyu's sister-in-law was so close after only meeting Baoqin once, she was a little envious, and at the same time she was guessing the reason why Lu Jing gave up solving chess.
In the end, Daiyu was pestered by Baoqin and called her a good sister a few times, so she told her the reason, and everyone realized that the other party was playing this game with the intention of tiring.
Immediately, I heard Lu Zhiyu talk about the Zhenlong chess game created by Daiyu, and hurriedly asked Daiyu what the Zhenlong chess game was.
Lin Daiyu explained to everyone with a smile, Baoqin, Yingchun, and Xichun were amazed when they heard it, and they were even more curious about Lu Jing.
The other people watching the battle saw that the time was about to end, but Lu Jing still sat there motionless, guessing the reason and discussing.
Time is fleeting, and three quarters of an hour passed quietly, Song Xuequan announced that the time was up, stopped playing chess, Lu Jingfang opened his eyes, and saw Mu Zhengnan's face was ugly, and his facial features were wrinkled, so he knew that he had not cracked the chess game.
Then Song Xuequan asked the two sides to solve the chess, Mu Zhengnan said with a pale face that there was no solution, and Lu Jing took out the game-breaking chess game and handed it to everyone.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, Mu Zhengnan couldn't help but come up to watch, seeing that he needed to be put to death and then reborn to break the situation, he was full of remorse in his heart, and his eyes were very complicated when he looked at Lu Jing, some admired, some dissatisfied, and some resentful, and at the same time put away his contempt for the Qianchao scholars.
When Song Xuequan announced that Lu Jing won this game, everyone was extremely puzzled, obviously Mu Zhengnan had been falling all the time during the whole process, and Lu Jing hadn't even opened his eyes, how could Lu Jing win.
Song Xuequan saw that there was a lot of discussion below, so he told the rules of this game, and everyone knew the reason for Lu Jing's victory, and praised Lu Jing one after another.
After the two rested for a quarter of an hour, Song Xuequan announced the start of the fifth competition.
After seeing the topic, Lu Jing spent two quarters of an hour typing the draft, and then swept it away.
Mu Zhengnan was overworked when he cracked the Zhenlong chess game, and he couldn't concentrate all the time, so he had to write hastily to finish.
Song Xuequan saw that Lu Jing won the first four games, and wanted to leave some dignity for Mu Zhengnan and judge a peace, but who knew that after seeing the articles of the two, the gap was too big, and he knew that the articles of the two would be spread, and it was not easy to force the peace.
The envoys of several other countries saw that Qianxiang had planted a heel, and they were trying to fall into the ground, and at the same time they also wanted to curry favor with the Qianchao, so they didn't read the content very carefully, so they circled Lu Jing's article.
In the end, it was no surprise that Lu Jing won the fifth game with ten votes to one.
Seeing that Lu Jing had won all five battles, everyone couldn't help but cheer.
Especially those prisoners and the scholars of Guozijian praised Lu Jing very much, and the evil anger he received from Mu Zhengnan a few days ago was also swept away.
Lin Daiyu saw that her husband killed the prince of Qianxiang on the high platform and threw away his armor, bowed his head and admitted defeat, she was extremely proud in her heart, and saw that there were cheers and celebrations below, and her pride was even worse, as if she was enjoying the glory at the moment.
Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun and others were all beaming with joy on their faces, surrounding Daiyu and congratulating them repeatedly.
Although Lin Daiyu tried her best to remain indifferent, she was still so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
When their sisters were fighting, Lin Ruhai sent a maid to spread the word, saying that Lu Jing might be left to celebrate by the people of the Hanlin Academy, and it would take some time to return home, so he came to ask Daiyu if she wanted to go back.
Lin Daiyu looked at Lu Jing, saw that he was surrounded by a group of scholars to congratulate, and saw the crowd below, thinking that if he didn't return at this time, he might have to delay for a long time before he could go home.
I thought that once this matter spread, someone would come to the house to congratulate or send a post, and now only my aunt was at home, and it was not good to come forward to preside, so I asked the maid to reply to Lin Ruhai to go back at the moment, and ordered someone to pack up the sedan chair.
Lu Zhiyu originally wanted to invite Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Xichun and others to her home as guests, but seeing that Jia Baoyu also came to pick them up, the two parties had to make another appointment.
Xue Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Xichun, Daiyu, Lu Zhiyu, Li Wen, and Li Qi said goodbye to each other, and then followed Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan all the way back to the house.
When watching the battle, Jia Lan had been sitting with Lin Ruhai, listening to Lin Ruhai explain the scene of the confrontation between the two sides, and he had a very good impression of him in his heart, and at the same time admired Lu Jing even more.
Jia Baoyu was forced to stay by Lin Ruhai's side, except for the second round of poetry, the other games were not interested, and he was looking forward to ending it as soon as possible, so as soon as he saw that the two sides were finished, he impatiently sent someone to pick up Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai and others.
After Lin Daiyu sent away Baochai and Baoqin, she left Lu Lian and Wu Ze to inform Lu Jing, and then took Yinglian, Zhiyu, Li Wen, Li Qi, Zijuan, Qingwen and others to pack up their things and set off home.
