Chapter Twenty-Six: Cracking the Chess Game
Wen Xian'an was not polite and stepped into the small courtyard.
There are fences planted on both sides, planted with medicinal herbs, there is a small pool of clear water in the middle, and there is a rockery lying down, the stream is murmuring, flowing slowly along the gap of the rockery.
There are two lanterns hanging under the eaves, and the faint candlelight can be faintly seen through the paper cover.
Lan Qingyun followed closely behind and closed the door.
Unlike other places, this place seems a little remote, and after looking around, Wen Xian'an said: "Your yard is clean, and there is no one to serve." ”
Lan Qingyun whispered, shook the fan in his hand, went up the steps, and replied unhurriedly: "I like to be clean, but today's Xiao Si was sent to the street by me to buy something." ”
The two entered the house.
The room is small in layout, but it has everything you need, the cabinet on the left is full of book coupons, the pen and ink inkstone on the desk, and a paper panel with dry ink.
Wen Xian'an picked up the calligraphy and paintings on the table, carefully examined them, penetrated the paper wall, vigorous and powerful, with an admiring look in his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to write a good hand." ”
"Miss Wen is overrated, but she is just idle and bored, just writing about her pastime."
Wen Xian'an put down the text panel, he didn't have much impression of this Lan Qingyun in his previous life, so he ignored that he was also a dragon and phoenix among people, and he was a talent.
Lan Qingyun poured two cups of tea and said, "Miss Wen, please take a seat." ”
The fruit bowl on the table was full of fresh fruits, and Wen Xian'an sat down, the tea in the cup steaming.
Good guys, there wasn't even a decent lunch next door, but it was like a vacationer here, with a little dissatisfaction, picking up the tea on the table and drinking it all.
"Ahem... Ahem..."
I drank too much and almost choked, Wen Xian'an patted her chest, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she met Lan Qingyun's concerned eyes,
"Miss Wen, are you alright?"
It's over, her beautiful personality is collapsed, she smiled awkwardly, stopped her hand, and said, "Small problems, no problem." ”
In order to divert his gaze, Wen Xian'an moved his gaze elsewhere, was attracted by the chessboard not far away, got up, and walked to the chessboard.
Black and white each have five left, the situation in this chessboard, from the current point of view, the two sides are deadlocked, both blocked, the other party's way to live, is obviously a dead game, but, if you change direction, the ending will be different.
Wen Xian'an frowned, staring at the flag plate, Lan Qingyun was also attracted, pointed to the chessboard and said, "I don't know what Miss Wen can see." ”
"Obviously, this is a dead game."
Lan Qingyun laughed at himself, the expectation just now was completely gone, he thought that this legendary Miss Wen could say something different, thinking that he overestimated it.
"Still."
Wen Xian'an deliberately paused, looked at Lan Qingyun, raised his eyebrows lightly, pointed to the black chess pieces and said: "Assuming that the black chess piece fights to the death, the white chess will naturally cut off the Hu, then there is a way to live, and it will be vacant. ”
Lan Qingyun was puzzled, Wen Xian'an held a black chess piece in his hand, and landed the chess pieces firmly on the chessboard, the situation in front of him suddenly opened up, Wen Xian'an's words were instantly enlightened, making the original dead game become a living game.
Having said that, Lan Qingyun asked, "There are two paths behind the black chess, how do you know that the white chess will definitely cut off the dead, if he chooses another way, then this chess game will be meaningless." ”
Wen Xian'an pursed her lips and smiled, staring at Lan Qingyun and said: "So this is a dangerous move, the competition is not chess skills, but the psychological defense line of both sides, on the surface it is a living line, but it is actually a dead line, when a person is overly nervous, his thinking will disturb his direction." ”
Lan Qingyun had to seriously inquire about Wen Xian'an this time, the woman in front of her had light in her eyes, she was smart and confident, and her wisdom was extraordinary, she was worthy of being the daughter cultivated by Wen Cheng.
In the past, when she was bored in the house, Wen Xian'an would often play games with her father, and Wen Cheng could always beat her narrowly with a chess, and she could guess which move she wanted to take every time.
Wen Xian'an couldn't figure it out, and pestered her father all day long to ask the reason, Wen Cheng had no choice but to say one sentence to her: "Daughter, you have to remember that the chess game is not about skills, but about observation, and the other party's heart. ”
Many years passed, Wen Xian'an didn't understand the meaning, until she entered the palace and listened to the government, and she knew how many people were staring at her position, and at first knocked her down from her high position.
Every step she took was deliberate and strategic, and she dared to take a step.
Life is like chess, every step you take must be carefully considered, one wrong step, every step is wrong.
Half of the night was over, Wen Xian rolled up his sleeves and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today, look at the day, it's not too early, the little girl will leave." ”
Out of the yard, looking from a distance, you can still see a trace of light.
Wen Xian'an stepped on the bluestone road and turned back in the direction he came.
Inside the house.
This chess game has been placed for several days, and it has not been solved, and today, it was solved by a little girl, which is really interesting.
Lan Qingyun looked at the black chess piece on the chessboard and said thoughtfully: "Wen Xian'an, I'm really getting more and more interested in you." ”
Swish.
A man jumped down from the roof and knelt respectfully in front of Lan Qingyun, the man couldn't see his face clearly with his face covered, Lan Qingyun put down the folding fan in his hand, and slowly said, "What you asked you to do, can you do it?" ”
"Hui Shizi, my subordinates have inquired, and everything is normal."
Lan Qingyun turned around, looked at the man kneeling on the ground, and said, "You get up, pay more attention to the movement over there, and if there is an accident, report it in time." ”
"Yes."
In the next second, the man kneeling on the ground was gone, Lan Qingyun was not surprised by this, closed the door of the room, the lights in the room went out, and silence returned.
Wen Xian'an returned to the West Chamber, lying on the bed, somehow, he inexplicably remembered Lan Qingyun again, Wen Xian'an patted his face vigorously, he can't think about it, he is the prince of the world, and he is also a member of the royal family, and he must not be related to them.
Wen Xian'an closed her eyes and gradually felt sleepy.
In the morning, Wen Xian'an was woken up by a knock on the door, and the voice she was all too familiar with,
"Wen Xian'an, if you go to sleep again, the sun will burn your butt."
"Ah, it's noisy."
Cheering up, Wen Xian'an reluctantly got up from the bed, staggered to the door, as soon as the door opened, it was Xu Nianchun's familiar face, Wen Xian'an half-leaned on the door frame, and quipped: "Why are you here?" ”
Xu Nianchun shook the things in his hand and said with a smile: "I brought you something good." ”
When Xu Nianchun said this, Wen Xian'an's curiosity was instantly aroused.
