Shangsheng is located in the southern continent, and is close to the sea, the west side and the north side are respectively Heshuo Hills and Langqi Mountains standing, the water vapor is lifted by the terrain, the summer is naturally wetter than other countries in the region, and it is a frequent thing to rain. However, in the north of Langqi Mountain, the climate of Xuanyin country in the northern continent is a little drier than Shangsheng, due to the influence of latitude, Xuanyin's summer temperature is more or less lower than Shangsheng, but the rain is not abundant and makes the summer here very hot. So it's also a summer night, the night rain is continuous on the side of Shangsheng, and the wind is hot and sunny here in Xuanyin.

Naturally, everything will not change because of the high and low of people, and even the luxurious court has to suffer from the heat of the ordinary people at this moment. But a court is a court after all, and despite the scorching heat, they can find a pastime and spend the windy summer nights leisurely.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I can tolerate you and regret a move." Xia Wuyun knocked on the chess pieces and said with a light smile.

The red glass cup dragged the two huge night pearls, making the inner hall of the East Palace as bright as day, and the young man's face looked soft and leisurely in the bright light, he played chess with a smile and ignored Xia Wuyun's words.

Seeing him like this, Xia Wuyun shook his head and sighed, then pinched the white chess pieces and landed firmly on the chessboard. The two seem to have soft fingertips, but in fact, between white and black, it is already a quiet fight.

Xia Wuyun didn't fall behind in chess, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the outcome is a foregone conclusion, and now even if I let you destroy a hundred moves, you won't be able to win." Xia Wuyun was full of confidence, and he didn't know that the other party was attacking slowly and effectively.

Zhong Liyu looked at him, still with a delicate and innocent smile on his face, and he said: "Taifu's words are wrong, this game of chess is not over yet, how can it be said that this prince can't win?" ”

Xia Wuyun lowered his head and smiled, seeing Zhong Liyu holding the chess pieces, he also put his hand into the purple jade jar of Sheng Qi, Xia Wuyun smiled elegantly on his face, knowing that he was sure to win this game of chess, so he was not in a hurry or impatient, knocked on the chess pieces idly, and waited for the final closing, Zhong Liyu was still smiling, his big eyes were bright and cunning, Xia Wuyun saw him like this, his eyes unconsciously swept the chessboard, and when he was about to fall, his hand suddenly paused, and the surprise in his eyes was revealed, and after his expression eased, he laughed out loud and exclaimed:" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really talented, and he is so scheming, he makes me look down on him. ”

Xia Wuyun couldn't help but move his gaze to the chessboard again, his eyes were full of admiration, and he forced himself into danger, not only to confuse the opponent, but also to lay another road in the dark, twists and turns, twists and turns, willows and flowers, others thought that he would be defeated, never thought that he would turn his chess, wave another army, and quietly expand the world, this move can really be described as "walking to the poor place of the water, sitting and watching the clouds rise", which shows that the player is not only exquisite chess skills, but also unique scheming.

The corners of Zhong Liyu's lips were hooked, his smile was like the moon, and he said, "It's too good to win the award." ”

Xia Wuyun simply threw down the chess pieces, waved his sleeves, messed up the chess game, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be modest, I just admit defeat." ”

Zhong Liyu's eyes rose, and he also put aside the chess pieces, and said to Xia Wuyun: "Where am I modest, my chess skills are not half as good as Taifu," his smile narrowed slightly, and continued, "It's Taifu himself who is too careless." ”

Xia Wuyun's eyes were stunned, and his mind couldn't help but lean towards the potential meaning of the young man's words, but just as he was contemplating and thinking, Zhong Liyu opened his mouth and smiled again: "The laying of this game of chess is not quiet. If I want to change routes, there will inevitably be a relatively large transition in the middle, although I try my best to cover with my pawns, and I don't hesitate to lose a large number of chess pieces to find another way," he smiled, his voice lowered, "but the chess skills of the ether master will not be unnoticed." ”

Seeing that he was so entangled in this issue, as if there was something in his words, Xia Wuyun couldn't help but be stunned, forced himself to control his emotions, and a smile appeared on his face, but the smile was obviously not as calm as before, he said: "I'm old, I haven't played for a long time, my hands are rusty, and my chess skills are not as good as before." ”

Zhong Liyu's expression was the same when he heard this, he raised his long hand slightly, his thumb and index finger together, and pinched the white seeds on the plate without hurrying, and put it back into the purple jade jar on the side one by one.

Zhong Liyu didn't answer, just played with the chess pieces, and only the crisp sound of the chess pieces colliding could be heard in the air, and the sound of the wind knocking on Yutangchun outside, and the frog chirping came from the royal pond far away, which was not very clear by the distance, intermittently, but there was also a kind of ethereal noise. The airflow was a little hot, pouring into the inner hall of the East Palace from the outside, gradually melting away the faint coolness of the room. Xia Wuyun raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile after being silent: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very beautiful, and he is becoming more and more like a prince. ”

Zhong Liyu had a smile on his face, and after moving his shoulders slightly, he leaned his shoulders on the back of the chair, his big eyes were burning bright, and he said, "It's too much." ”

Hearing this, Xia Wuyun's smile was even worse, and he said: "I originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been in trouble for many years, and he had never received an orthodox education, so his demeanor would inevitably be vulgar. ”

After all, it is a young man's nature, hearing this, Zhong Liyu couldn't hold back for a while, so he laughed out loud, he said while laughing: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for many years, Taifu is still so fast-talking." "Dare to say anything, and you are not afraid of offending people at all.

The smile stained the corners of the young man's eyes and eyebrows, making his facial features even more vibrant. Although his previous smile was not bright, a clear-eyed person could see at a glance that it was just a polite smile, not from the bottom of his heart, but now because of Xia Wuyun's words, his smile suddenly fell into his eyes.

It stands to reason that Xia Wuyun is Zhong Liyu's mentor, and it is also very disrespectful to say this, even if Zhong Liyu can't punish him now for various reasons, but after all, he is the prince of a country, and he remembers that after this thorn ascended the throne, he used it as a basis, and it is not certain to say that he will still use the color.

Seeing the young man laughing and euphemistically reminding him that he had said the wrong thing, Xia Wuyun couldn't help but be annoyed, but his heart was filled with joy, and the expression on his face became free, Zhong Liyu restrained his smile, seemingly careless, but in fact, he always paid attention to Xia Wuyun's expression, and as time went by, the young man's smile became more and more beautiful, but his eyes became more and more heavy. Xia Wuyun became uncomfortable under his conscious or unintentional gaze, but Zhong Liyu said to him at this time: "Okay, Taifu continue." ”

The words were interrupted, and after thinking for a moment, Xia Wuyun picked up the conversation again and said: "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not assimilate with the contemptible people in the countryside, but behaved moderately, politely, and with a royal bearing," he still said after a pause, "I obviously have something to say in my heart, but I can not be in a hurry, and my cultivation is growing more and more." ”
