Stepping up the corner of the last staircase, a man stands.

Dressed in a straight and breezy flying fish suit, he is tall and has a posture board like a wooden board. Just by looking at his eyes, he knew that this was a battle-hardened master.

Gao Gonggong walked straight by, as if there was no such person in his eyes at all.

Although Shangguan Li has never seen it, he intuitively feels that this person should be the so-called person in the scarlet Qingli. She nodded slightly, and staggered over.

The man's eyes moved, but he quickly returned to his usual defensive posture.

On the ninth floor of the Moon Water Pavilion, the skylight was wide open, the thin and hazy moonlight fell, and the boxy room was lit with bright candles.

There are two cushions in the middle, a long low table, and the emperor is wearing a bright yellow dress, and he is facing a game of chess on the table and contemplating it.

Hearing the movement, he beckoned without raising his head.

"Shaoyang, come, accompany me to see how this game of chess should be solved?"

Gonggong Gao is already standing behind the emperor, ready to serve at any time.

Shangguan Li had no choice but to walk over as he was told.

"Sit."

The emperor had a white son in his hand, and his eyes never left the chessboard for a moment, as if he would lose the whole game immediately if he looked away.

"Take a look."

Shangguan Li looked at it for a long time, looked at it, his eyes lit up slightly, this endgame is exquisite, it is not a desperate situation for both black and white, but within three steps, one party will definitely fall into a situation from which there will be no return.

How do you complete your three steps ahead of time under the opponent's encirclement and interception? How to defend against the relentless pursuit from the opposite side can be described as full of dangers and ups and downs.

One of the sunspots in the game has fallen.

I don't know who ordered it, the position was reckless, but with an indomitable momentum, like a sharp knife pointed straight at the hinterland of Baizi, no matter what kind of situation he would fall into.

But in this case, Shirako still has many options.

Or spend some chess pieces to break the knife, or simply ignore it, just organize your own offensive and fight to the death with the opponent......

But no matter which one it is, in terms of momentum, Kuroko has already taken the lead.

The emperor's voice sounded leisurely.

"What do you think of this game?"

"Hidden in the dark."

Shangguan Li said truthfully.

"The predecessors who played this chess at the beginning must have been national players on both sides."

The emperor smiled, holding the white marble chess piece in his hand and said slowly.

"The national hand is real, but there are no two sides."

Shangguan Li raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Could it be that this endgame is the work of one man?"

"Indeed."

The emperor bowed his head.

"It's just that that person has been an ancient man for many years, and if there is a reincarnation, I am afraid that the next life will be as big as you."

"It's a pity that such a character can't be seen with my own eyes."

Shangguan Li cooperated with the emperor's pace, half-heartedly perfunctory.

Didn't she tell herself to come to dinner? As a result, there is nothing to eat now except for a plate of fruit and pastries next to the endgame.

But the emperor seemed to be very interested in this topic and asked.

"Shao Yang, do you know the name of this endgame?"

"Does the chess game have a name?"

The emperor laughed.

"There is no normal endgame, but this game does. Its name is Tianxia. ”

Shangguan Li's heart sank.

The emperor's voice continued to echo in the empty pavilion on the ninth floor without hurry, with unpredictable emotions and a faint distance.

"It is said that the person in this world who can solve this endgame will become a veritable master of the world."

Shangguan Li sneered in his heart, and his face also showed a look of disdain at the right time.

"What, Shao Yang doesn't believe it?"

The emperor saw her expression and raised his eyebrows.

Shangguan Li was slightly positive and said in a deep voice.

"The lord of the world has already made up his mind, how can it be controlled by a mere mess? Does Your Majesty believe in such nonsense? ”

"Really?"

The emperor finally raised his head and glanced at her.

"I think there are some things that I'd rather take for granted."

Shangguan Li was silent.

She knew that the emperor didn't want her answer now.

Sure enough, seeing that she didn't speak, the emperor put his eyes back on the chessboard and said while watching.

"Shaoyang, how do you think Baizi should go?"

Shangguan Lixin said that you would rather believe it just now, if I really untie it, wouldn't it just hit the muzzle of the gun?

She hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Shao Yang doesn't dare."

"If you don't dare, I will say it if you want to."

Shangguan Li, who had been vaccinated, did not let down his vigilance.

Shao Yang felt that what could be related to the word "world" was no longer something that Shao Yang could understand. Although His Majesty is gracious, but ......"

The emperor's empty hand waved slightly in midair.

"It seems that I scared you, so it's okay, just let this be an ordinary chess game. I won't blame you, you don't have to joke. ”

This set of words sounds very reassuring, but Shangguan Li's two lifetimes add up, and he understands this matter very clearly.

I don't mind, it's not all a matter of the emperor's thoughts.

If there is really a fool who listens to the emperor's words and comes out with a wonderful move, even if he will not be blamed at that time, he will definitely have a lot of small shoes in the future.

But the emperor's words have come to this, and she has to move.

Shangguan Li pretended to think about the endgame, and after a moment, she slowly stretched out her finger and clicked on one part of the chessboard with a slight hesitation.

"The dragon walked into the shallows, and saw the water into the abyss. Shao Yang felt that going down here could not only cut off the attack of the sunspots, but also save most of the whites, although the situation was not better, but it would not be worse. ”

The emperor only glanced at it, then shook his head.

"Shaoyang's medical skills are superb, but he is still a little hot on the chess path."

Shangguan Li pursed his lips, seemingly a little unconvinced.

"Why did Your Majesty say that?"

The emperor showed a smile that could not be taught.

"You landed Baizi here, although you cut off the attack of the black man, but your own formation is also chaotic, and the enemy's momentum is complete, and then if you want to break the game, it will be even more difficult. is only confined to the method in front of him, Shao Yang really didn't notice? ”

Of course, Shangguan Li noticed.

It's just that this must not be said.

"Your Majesty, isn't this embarrassing Shaoyang?"

She pouted.

"Although Shao Yang has read a lot of medical books, everything related to playing chess is just hearsay. Far from being a master, His Majesty asked Shao Yang, but Shao Yang didn't dare not answer. Now that he has answered, His Majesty doesn't believe Shao Yang anymore. ”

"Hahaha."

The emperor laughed a few times.

"It's only been a few days since I entered the palace, how did I learn to be petty? That's it, I don't want you to solve this endgame, it's not right. ”

Gao You seems to be smiling all the time, especially when the emperor also has a smile on his face, his smile is as bright as a sunflower under the scorching sun.

"The old slave is here!"
