When she was bored at the institute, she played chess with the researchers there to pass the time. Although chess skills are not top-notch, they are barely among the top masters.

Soon, Hua Qingmo drew a chess board and a picture of his wife's arrangement. She put down the pen and asked Acacia to take these away, and then, pointing to the thing she had drawn, she said, "This is called chess, there are nine vertical paths, ten horizontal paths, horizontal and vertical crossings of ninety points, and the chess pieces are placed on the points." This is the river boundary, the world is equally divided, the two legs stand together, and war is about to break out. And this place is called the Nine Palaces, which is where the generals of both sides stand. There are only 32 pieces in chess, divided into two groups, red and black, each group has a total of sixteen, each divided into seven types, which is drawn in the picture of Mo'er. ”

After saying this scene, Hua Qingmo looked up at Bai Zixiao, smiled slightly, and said softly: "I know, what do you think of what Mo'er just said?" ”

"It's like fighting a war, but let's talk about the rules? How? Bai Zixiao looked at Hua Qingmo's painting and said in a cool voice.

"Hmm." Hua Qingmo nodded in response, stretched out her hand and pointed at the red side and the black side respectively, and said: "The general is the commander in chess, and it is the goal that the two sides strive to compete for. The generals can only walk around within the nine palaces, up and down, left and right, each time they can only walk horizontally or vertically, the handsome and the general can not be directly opposite in the same straight line, otherwise the side will lose, all the chess pieces on this chess piece are to protect themselves handsome, attack him will be any. ”

"Shi is the personal guard of the general, the red side is the officer, the black side is the soldier, it is the same as the general, it can only walk around within the nine palaces, and the path of chess can only be a diagonal line in the nine palaces, and it can only be done one square at a time." Hua Qingmo pointed to the taxis on both sides and explained to Bai Zixiao.

Then she pointed her finger at the elephant next to the soldier and said, "The elephant walks in the field character, and it can only walk in its own position, and cannot cross the boundary between the two rivers, if there is one in the center of the field character it walks, it cannot walk." ”

"This is a car, is the most powerful in chess, both horizontal and vertical can walk, if there is no child in the middle of the road, the path is not restricted, therefore, a car can control zhì seventeen points, so there is a 'car ten sons cold' said. The rook is a powerful soldier held by the generals of the two sides, it is a long weapon, the key to victory and mistake, there is it on the chessboard, there is a saying of 'one cart and nine sons are idle', Zi Xiao, you have to remember this. Hua Qingmo said this, her eyes looked at Bai Zixiao, and there was an indescribable smile on the corner of her lips.

Bai Zixiao looked at her, stretched out his hand to caress the green silk hanging from her sideburns, her dark eyes flashed with a little star light like the night sky, and the smile on the corner of her lips was even more gorgeous with a hint of spring breeze: "How to make good use of the chess pieces in your hand, this overlord will never lose to you." ”

"We'll see." The corners of Hua Qingmo's lips have a bright smile that cannot be told, confident and flamboyant, like a blooming hibiscus, frost invades Lu Ling but is rich and gorgeous, occupying the late autumn style. Soon, she pointed at the cannon and said softly: "When the cannon is not attacking, the way is exactly the same as the rook, but when the cannon is attacking, it must jump a chess piece, and this is the case for both sides." The horse can go straight or horizontally, the path is a Japanese word, and the horse can reach eight points around the place at a time, so there is a saying of "eight sides of majesty". However, if a piece is in the way of the disc, the horse cannot walk. ”

"The last one, red is the pawn and black is the pawn, and when the pawn has not crossed the river boundary, he can only move forward, not backward, or left or right. After crossing the river boundary, it can advance one, left level, right level, but never look back, it can only take one step when walking, but its power is also greatly increased, and the endgame is even more so. After Hua Qingmo finished speaking, her eyes fell on Bai Zixiao again, and she said softly: "Mo'er doesn't like Go, let's play chess in the future, okay?" ”

"If you can win three out of five games, the Lord will answer you." Bai Zixiao's gaze fell on the painting, and the corners of her lips smiled slightly. He didn't know that Hua Qingmo would play such a delicate game, and this game was unheard of and unseen, and it seemed that he had never really understood this little guy. The original Hua Qingmo, cowardly, and bullied, even if it was to change her life, I am afraid that it will not become like this.

Calm and thoughtful, intelligent and transparent, calm, warm and unfazed, there is a difference between Hua Qingmo and the Hua Qingmo he investigated, it seems that the only thing that is the same as Hua Qingmo is this face and this body.

However, even if there are strange things, she is only his.

"A gentleman is true to his word, and he must not go back on it." Hua Qingmo heard Bai Zixiao's answer and emphasized it loudly. Then she looked at Chu Xiangbai on the side, told him about the general appearance of chess, and asked him to send someone to build it.

Not long after that, Liutian asked Jinyiwei to carry a lot of folds, and Bai Zixiao began to look at the folds, basically reading one and losing the other, and when it was almost lost, Jinyiwei took the folds out, and Hua Qingmo looked at the book about Shi Needle. Originally, she wanted to follow Wen Jing to learn the art of acupuncture, but unfortunately now in this situation, I am afraid that she will not even have a chance to speak. It's just that Wenjing's silver needle can kill people and save people, and she really wants to learn from it.

The night was getting deeper, and as soon as the change of time passed, Hua Qingmo closed the book in her hand, and then got off the Luohan bed. Bai Zixiao on the side was still watching the performance, and didn't seem to pay attention to her, and when Hua Qingmo was about to go out, Bai Zixiao's cold voice sounded: "Come back early, it's time to rest." ”

"Well, Mo'er will be back soon." Hua Qingmo smiled gently, and then walked out of the room.

The sixteenth moon seemed to be brighter than the fifteenth, Hua Qingmo sat on the stone bench, Acacia lit a Bafang Palace lamp and put it on the stone table, and then put a charcoal stove on Hua Qingmo's side for her to keep warm. At about three o'clock, the door of the north courtyard opened, and Hua Hanxi walked in wearing a pure black plain brocade cloak.

As soon as she entered the door, Hua Hanxi saw Hua Qingmo sitting on the stone table and knew that she was waiting for her. Standing in place for a moment, Hua Hanxi's heart suddenly sank, and he walked towards Hua Qingmo. No matter what Hua Qingmo's purpose is, as long as she can realize her wish, it is enough, and she doesn't need to think about anything else now.

In front of Hua Qingmo, Hua Hanxi saluted and said, "I've seen Princess Xiao, Princess Xiao!" ”

"The sixth sister doesn't have to be polite, the night is cold and cold, but Qingmo called the sixth sister here, she really wronged the sixth sister." Hua Qingmo smiled slightly, her smile was soft but beautiful under the fusion of candlelight and moonlight. She stretched out her finger and pointed to the stone bench next to her, and said in a clear voice: "Sixth sister, sit down!" ”

"Princess Xie Xiao!" Hua Hanxi stood up, walked to the stone bench and sat down.

Seeing this, Hua Qingmo just smiled slightly, stared at Hua Hanxi, and said: "Although the sixth sister and Qingmo are the same age, Qingmo got married last year, but the sixth sister is still in the boudoir, which really makes Qingmo a little anxious." ”

"Sixth sister, thank you Princess Xiao for her care, but the sixth sister is not as good as Princess Xiao and can marry at the age of nine thousand, although there are also people who come to the house to propose marriage, but they can't have the heart of the sixth sister." Hua Hanxi pondered the words and spoke, and kept looking at Hua Qingmo in his eyes.

After Hua Hanxi's voice fell, Hua Qingmo smiled slightly, and at this time, Acacia came over with tea, and then put two white porcelain cracked ice pattern tea bowls in front of Hua Qingmo and Hua Hanxi. Eyes swept over the tea bowl, Hua Qingmo picked it up, took a sip gently, and said: "Sixth sister, this is Qingmo personally picked and dried Roselle last year, although Roselle tea is the best to drink in summer, clear the heat and relieve the heat, but today Qingmo saw that the sixth sister acted so recklessly, so she asked people to prepare this tea, and the sixth sister must be able to extinguish the fire and calm down when she drinks it." ”

These words made Hua Hanxi's heart tremble, and the hand hidden under the sleeve robe couldn't help but clench. Hua Qingmo knew that she did it herself, but she returned the doll to herself, indicating that Hua Qingmo would not pursue this matter more. It's just that Hua Hanxi is a little puzzled, for a person who wants to kill herself, Hua Qingmo not only does not bite back, but says that she wants to help her fulfill her wish, what does she want.

staring at Hua Qingmo, Hua Hanxi could only see her beautiful face, that touch of light as flowing water, Ya Ruo moonlight smile, was so calm and calm, as if the sky was about to collapse and could not make her lose her proportion. Suddenly, Hua Hanxi seemed to understand a little, why did Situ Heng's eyes keep falling on Hua Qingmo's body?

Indeed, in terms of beauty, Hua Qingmo is only one-tenth of Hua Xijin, and beauty is attractive to most men. But that's just vulgar on the surface, and many men are not just interested in the flowery face.

Situ Heng is one of them.

"Thank you Princess Xiao, the sixth sister will have a good taste of this tea." Hua Hanxi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip gently, the slightly sour taste was a little sweet, if it was cool in summer, it was really good. Putting down the tea bowl, Hua Hanxi looked at Hua Qingmo again, slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and said, "Princess Xiao, the sixth sister really wants to thank you for your magnanimity today, otherwise the sixth sister is afraid that she will be in a different place now." ”

"Sixth sister, what are you talking about? is not afraid of taboos, the sixth sister is in her prime, how can she be in a different place? Besides, the sixth sister has not yet married the person she likes for a hundred years, so don't think about it like this in the future. Hua Qingmo stretched out her hand and patted Hua Hanxi's shoulder, and there was a smile as bright as stars on her beautiful face. Then, she held Hua Hanxi's hand, looked at the scars on it, and said: "The sixth sister has ten slender fingers and smooth skin, if she is accidentally injured again, it really makes her sister feel distressed." ”

Hua Hanxi's face was a little bad for this, at that time he was very angry Hua Qingmo would be like this, but now that he thinks about it, he is really too disproportionate today. If Hua Qingmo is really an idle person, how can she stay by the temperamental nine thousand years old for so long? I was really dizzy to do such a ridiculous thing.

Sighing lightly, Hua Hanxi looked at Hua Qingmo, and attached her other hand to hers, with pleading in her eyes: "Princess Xiao, the sixth sister is now offended and called you the seventh sister, can the seventh sister really help the sixth sister realize her heart's wish?" ”
