At four o'clock, the sun was shining above the sky, and the long-awaited competition between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Ming Dynasty finally kicked off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The re-decorated meditation hall is more resplendent than the previous one, and it can blind people's eyes.

In the main hall, especially where the sunlight can shine, there are many glass and crystal products, which are refracted and illuminated by the sunlight and candlelight, and become extremely shiny, and the entire meditation hall seems to become bright.

In the main hall, there were already waiting eunuchs and maids waiting, and there were civil and military ministers who walked in one after another, but they were only limited to those first- and second-grade officials, and those low-grade officials were not qualified to enter the hall to watch the competition.

"Oh, Lord Wang, you're here too, it's really early enough."

"Where, where, didn't you see a few princes arrive early? He was the first to arrive. ”

"Hey, let's come over and have fun, those guys from the Eastern Roman Empire, how can they be our opponents of the Ming Dynasty?"

The civil and military ministers in the main hall gathered together in twos and threes, and there were many discussions.

"Long live the arrival of the lord!"

At this time, Zheng He's voice sounded, and then he saw Zhu Di and Empress Xu, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and maids, coming from outside the main hall, and walked straight to the dragon seat at the front of the main hall.

"The ministers visit our emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

A group of civil and military ministers in the main hall knelt on the ground and shouted three times in their mouths.

"The Qing family is flat!" The majesty on Zhu Di's face gradually thickened, he waved his hand, and said: "Today's Zhongqing family can be regarded as a blessing for the eyes, today is the day of my Ming and the Eastern Roman Empire to learn and compete, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Korean kingdom once had the courage to provoke my Ming, the Eastern Roman Empire can be said to be the second, today, let the people of the Eastern Roman Empire know that my Ming is not so easy to mess with." ”

"Long live Shengming, Da Ming is mighty!"

The civil and military ministers gave Zhu Di a lot of face, and they all screamed.

"Long live Qi, Jones, the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire, is here with a group of people from the Eastern Roman Empire."

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in and reported to Zhu Di.

"Oh, they're pretty calm." Zhu Di glanced sideways at the little eunuch and said, "Announce them in, it's almost time!" ”

"Yes!" The little eunuch nodded, turned around and walked out.

Not long after, a group of ten people who were either blonde or brown-haired and blue-eyed from the Eastern Roman Empire walked in with a flat face.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he bowed down and saluted Zhu Di, and at the same time said: "The foreign minister of the Eastern Roman Empire sent the Ming envoy Jones, and I have seen His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor is safe!" ”

The people who followed Jones did the same, and for a time strange Chinese dialects filled the hall.

"No courtesy." Zhu Di waved his hand with a flat expression and said, "Everyone, is it okay to rest in my Daming during this time?" ”

Jones nodded with a smile and said, "The foreign minister is very good in Nanjing, and His Majesty Emperor Lao is concerned." It's just that during this time, I am too much looking forward to learning and competing with my return, and I will inevitably have some insomnia. ”

Damn, I can't even tell Zhu Di that this is polite, isn't this stupid?

"Oh." Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said: "Well, today is the day for you and me to compete and compete, I hope that after these two days, you can resume your previous sleep and have a good rest." ”

Zhu Di's words were ambiguous, and he didn't know whether he was implying that the Eastern Roman Empire had lost or won this time, or whether he was hinting at something else, anyway, Zhu Song heard some conspiracy from it.

"Okay, since you're here, then please take a seat first, I've ordered someone to prepare a song and dance, first to relieve your fatigue, and then let's have a competition, how about it?"

Zhu Di's painting has the meaning of discussion, but in fact, there is no polite meaning at all.

After Zhu Di's voice landed, the entire hall immediately sounded a beautiful guzheng song. Thin veil, graceful, handsome woman, stepping on the tune, spinning, jumping, pink and green long yarn rolled, like a goddess scattered flowers.

The people of the Eastern Roman Empire, who were already sitting down next to the long case on one side, were a little stupid.

To tell the truth, it is not that these people of the Eastern Roman Empire have never seen dance, but such an elegant and graceful dance still fascinates this group, and even a few guys are so drunk and greedy that they almost pounce on them like wolves when they see those dancing girls.

For the performance of these guys, Zhu Song saw it all.

"Uncle Songhuang, have you noticed, these guys are all hungry ghosts!" The little guy Zhu Huixuan was very precocious, and when he saw a two-person Eastern Roman pervert, he couldn't help but gently tug Zhu Song's arm, and continued: "Uncle Songhuang, these guys still want to compete with our Daming, dreaming!" ”

Syllable!

Zhu Song honestly and unceremoniously slapped Zhu Huixuan, and said in a low voice: "Stinky boy, who taught you these words?" Could it be your bastard daddy again? ”

Zhu Song didn't use much strength this time, so Zhu Huixuan didn't hurt at all, but this thing still showed an aggrieved look, and said, "Uncle Songhuang, didn't I learn this from you?" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Song raised his eyebrows, slapped him again, and said angrily: "You kid just owe it, when did I teach you this?" Stay honest with me, and if I'm not honest, I'll beat your ass! ”

"Hehe, Uncle Song is annoyed and angry." Zhu Zhanji could have sat at the top, but he was just arguing with Zhu Huixuan for fun, so he sat down, "Uncle, you better be honest." ”

"Hey, you kid dare to count me down?" couldn't provoke Zhu Song, Zhu Zhanji was still able to bully twice, he pounced directly, "Stinky boy, you can't eat these things, right?" Give it all to me! ”

While saying this, the little guy directly grabbed those things in front of him, this kid is actually a foodie, seeing Zhu Huixuan's movements, Zhu Zhanji flattened his small mouth, and opened his mouth to bite Zhu Huixuan.

Although these little guys have been training with Zhu Song for several months, the two of them are the youngest, and when they are anxious, they will only have some instinctive means of resistance after all.

"Oops!" Zhu Huixuan was bitten by Zhu Zhanji, and couldn't help screaming, the sound was quite loud, even overpowering the sound of the guzheng, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

"What are you two boys doing?" Zhu Di asked the two little guys with a little doubt on his face.

At this moment, Zhu Zhanji's mouth had already left Zhu Huixuan's arm, and on Zhu Huixuan's slender, white and tender arm, there was clearly a row of neat tooth marks.

The two little guys were startled by the sudden quiet hall, and when they heard Zhu Di's question, they immediately sobered up, and hurriedly said: "Emperor, Uncle Huang, nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong!" ”

While speaking, the little guy also glanced at Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes, stood up and arched his hand to Zhu Di and said: "Grandpa Huang, it's like this, Uncle Hui Xuan made a bet with his grandson, saying that the people of the Eastern Roman Empire and my Ming Dynasty are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and that the Eastern Roman Empire will definitely lose miserably, and one of the three competitions will not win!" ”

Nima,, what do you want to do?

Zhu Song looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was talking nonsense, and said that this kid had also learned badly.

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, the faces of the group of Eastern Roman Empire people became darker and darker, and in the end, they were even darker as ink, and fools could see that these guys were very angry, quite angry.

"Oh?" Zhu Di caught a glimpse of these guys' faces changing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, "And then?" ”

"Then the grandson made a bet with the little uncle, and the grandson said that the Eastern Roman people would lose the first game in an hour and a half, and the little uncle said that it was an hour, and we quarreled because of it!"

Zhu Huixuan looked at Zhu Di seriously and continued: "However, I still insist that the people of Eastern Rome will not lose so easily, after all, they are prepared!" ”

"Hahaha......" This time, Zhu Di couldn't help it after all, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

Zhu Di's laughter made these people of the Eastern Roman Empire even more angry.

Scott, who was sitting next to Jones, couldn't help it, strode out, and arched his hand to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, half an hour has passed, and now it is the sky above the sun, shouldn't you start the first 'Yiyi' competition?" ”

"Since you're in a hurry, then let it be as you wish!" Zhu Di glanced at Scott deeply, looked at the hall, and said, "Xie Qing, this first 'Yiyi' competition is up to you, how about it?" ”

Xie Jin stood up and chuckled: "Long live, for the victory or defeat of the 'Yiyi' competition and competition, Weichen can't guarantee it, so he can only do his best, after all, the people of the Eastern Roman Empire also have Yiyi masters!" ”

If you learn badly, if you learn badly, your feelings are not serious, and you are also thorny when you speak.

"There is no absolute victory in this world, you just have to do your best." Zhu Di couldn't hear the meaning of Xie Jin's words, he just chuckled, then looked at Scott, and said, "I don't know who you from Eastern Rome came to test this 'Yiyi'?" ”

Scott glanced at Jones, who had not spoken, and suddenly clapped his hands.

Sitting at the end, a young man who looked as handsome as a woman stood up, walked to the middle of the main hall and saluted Zhu Di, and said, "The foreign minister of the Eastern Roman Empire sent Ming Connors to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Di nodded and said, "Connors? In the past few days, I have heard that in the city of Nanjing, a blonde and blue-eyed Fanbang man suddenly appeared, this person is a superb gamer, every time he plays against others, the winning rate is 100%, but you? ”

Connors's face showed a little smugness, and he said, "It's the foreign minister." ”

At this point, Connors continued: "The foreign minister heard that there are many adults in the Hanlin Academy who have returned to China, and they are known as national players. It is an honor for the foreign minister to be able to fight with Lord Xie today. ”

"Okay, the 'Yiyi' competition, let's start now!" Zhu Di waved his hand and said.

……

The huge chessboard was quickly set up, but compared to the Go before Zhu Song, the current Go turned out to be red and blue, although it was not produced in Yunnan Chengxuan Political Envoy Yunzi, but it was a more rare agate and jade chessboard.

Xie Jin and Connors sat opposite each other on both sides of the chessboard, and after the two saluted, Connors looked at Xie Jin and took the lead in speaking: "Master Xie, if you and I just play a dry game like this, wouldn't it be a little boring?" Why don't you and I add some colored heads? ”

Xie Jin didn't expect the other party to come to such a hand, he was slightly stunned, and said, "What do you want?" ”

Connors's delicate face showed a hint of ruthlessness, and said: "In this game, if the foreign minister wins the understanding of the foreign minister, the foreign minister has only one request, that is, the master Xie needs to kneel in front of the foreign minister, and shout, 'The Ming Dynasty is not as good as my Eastern Roman Empire Yiyi!'" '”

Hearing Connors's words, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty who originally thought that this beautiful foreigner was a gentleman all had anger on their faces, and even Zhu Di's face had a trace of hideousness.

Kneeling on the ground and saying to a gringo that Da Ming's 'Yiyi' is not as good as them? Isn't this humiliating Daming? Isn't it riding on Da Ming's head to and pee?

But anyone who is a bloody Ming person will definitely not be able to endure this!

Sure enough, Xie Jin's face was suffocated, and then he said coldly: "Okay, if the official loses, the official will not ask you to kneel on the ground and say something 'the art of Eastern Rome is not as good as my Daming', as long as you say in front of my Lord Long Live the Ming Dynasty, your 'Yishou' of the Eastern Roman Empire are all Yi, all of them are livestock!" ”

See no, this is our Daming, my Daming is civilization, don't want you to kneel, don't let you admit defeat unwillingly, why? Because you are beasts, and you are not worthy to be compared with men!

Xie Jin's move was even more ruthless, and directly made everyone in the Eastern Roman Empire become animals!

Connors's face turned red and white, white and black, black and red, and after several changes, there were bloodshot spots in the whites of his eyes, and he roared, "Okay, yes, I'll do it!" But please hold on a little longer! ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, guess first!" Xie Jin didn't bother to take care of him anymore, but directly reached out and grabbed a chess piece and didn't let go.

The so-called guess first, first by the high section of the person to hold a number of blue pieces do not show people, the low section of the person to show a red piece, means "odd number is their own red, vice versa blue", show two red pieces to mean "even number of their own side of the red, vice versa". The number of blue seeds held by the high-level person is announced, and the priority is naturally determined. When both sides are of the same rank, the older person holds the child.

Connors didn't think about proposing a chess piece, Xie Jin grinned at the corner of his mouth, put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and counted it carefully, and it was indeed an even number.

"Agreed!" Xie Jin chuckled lightly and directly grabbed a piece to play chess.
