Chapter 222: Losing Convincingly
He's the lord?!
How can it be?!
Zheng Qian looked at Zhao Yao not far away in a daze.
Zhao Yao noticed that someone was looking at him, turned around to look, and found that there was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy not far away looking at him. This young man's appearance is too exquisite, if it weren't for the arrogance between his eyebrows, he would really be mistaken for a daughter in men's clothes.
This person must be Zheng Zhengshi's younger brother!
A body of pride!
It's just that it's too good-looking!
The starling is also too beautiful, but the starling is not as arrogant as Zheng Zhengshi's younger brother.
When Zhao Yao was looking at Zheng Qian, Zheng Qian was also looking at Zhao Yao carefully.
This tenth prince is beautifully carved in pink, with clear and clean eyes, and his eyebrows are full of aura. On top of that, he also saw the dragon qi between the eyebrows of the Ten Princes.
He's really the lord!
When the housekeeper saw Zheng Qian coming, he hurriedly introduced Zheng Qian: "Third young master, this is the tenth prince. Then he introduced to Zhao Yao, "Your Highness the Tenth, this is the Third Young Master. ”
Zheng Qian forcibly suppressed the shock and suspicion that surged into his heart, and saluted Zhao Yao in a proper manner: "The student has seen His Royal Highness the Ten. ”
Zhao Yao felt that Zheng Qian's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him just now, shocked, suspicious, delighted, and scrutinized, in short, it was very complicated.
Seeing him, is it necessary to have so many emotions?
"Get up." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "You are the genius little brother that Zheng Zheng often mentions." ”
Zheng Qian returned to his usual arrogant appearance. He said calmly, "It's the student." ”
Hearing Zheng Qian's words, Zhao Yao was a little surprised. If you were an ordinary person, when you heard this, you would definitely humbly say that you are not a genius, but Zheng Qian admitted very calmly that he was really not modest at all.
Zheng Rang often said that his younger brother never knew what humility was, and now it seems to be true.
Seeing Zheng Qian's cold look, the housekeeper hurriedly invited Zhao Yao back to the living room.
Zhao Yao walked in front, and the housekeeper and Zheng Qian walked behind.
"Third Young Master, Your Royal Highness the Tenth is a distinguished guest invited by the eldest young master, please be polite."
Zheng Qian glanced at the official family strangely and said, "Am I welcome?" ”
The butler thought to himself: I really didn't see that you were polite at all.
Back in the living room, the housekeeper hurriedly brought another cup of hot tea. Then, he glanced at Zheng Qian.
Zheng Qian was too lazy to take care of the official's house, he sat opposite Zhao Yao, staring straight at Zhao Yao with a pair of eyes.
Zhao Yao's appearance is an indescribably expensive face.
Zheng Qian wanted to admit that he was wrong, but he was not mistaken, there was indeed a dragon aura between the eyebrows of the Ten Princes.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that the young Ten Princes in front of him were indeed his lords.
Whether it is his lord or not, Zheng Qian can tell at a glance.
Zhao Yao saw that Zheng Qian had been staring at him, as if he wanted to see him through.
"Third Young Master Zheng, is there anything on my face?" Zhao Yao raised his hand and touched his face, and found that there was nothing.
Zheng Qian suddenly asked, "Your Highness the Tenth, when and what day were you born?" ”
Seeing that Zheng Qian's question was so unkind, the housekeeper hurriedly reminded Zheng Qian in a low voice: "Third Young Master, you can't talk to His Royal Highness Ten in such a tone. ”
Zheng Qian didn't pay attention to the housekeeper, and stared at Zhao Yao with burning eyes: "Your Highness, please tell me, this is very important to me." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yao looked surprised, "Why is my birthday important to you?" "What does his birth have to do with him?
Zheng Qian said with a serious expression: "Very important. "As for why it matters, he didn't say." Please let Your Highness know. ”
Zhao Yao looked at Zheng Qian strangely. Even if he doesn't tell Zheng Qian about his birthday, Zheng Qian will find out about his birthday.
"The fifth day of the eighth month."
The fifth day of August?
Zheng Qian's right thumb tapped on his index finger a few times.
Zhao Yao saw Zheng Qian's gesture and thought to himself what he was counting.
After Zheng Qian finished the calculation, his heart trembled, his eyes widened, and an overly beautiful face showed an expression of disbelief.
Zhao Yao saw Zheng Qian's appearance of seeing a "ghost", and his heart was weird, what was wrong with him?
It was the first time for the housekeeper to see him fake Third Young Master show such a surprised expression, and he hurriedly asked with concern: "Third Young Master, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Zheng Qian stabilized his mind, and his face returned to his usual expression of underbeating that made people want to punch.
"Nothing."
The housekeeper didn't believe it, the third young master's terrifying appearance was the first time he had seen it. The third young master, who has always been bold, has never been afraid.
"Third Young Master, are you really okay?"
Zheng Qian directly ignored the housekeeper and stared at Zhao Yao tightly with a pair of eyes.
"Your Highness, I heard from my eldest brother that your chess skills are very good, so it's better for us to play the next game now." Whether it is his lord or not, his personal test. His lord must be wiser than him, or he will not recognize him.
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Third Young Master, it's time for dinner soon." ”
"Big brother will cook himself later, so I didn't have dinner so soon." Zheng Qian said, "Your Highness, let's play a game of chess before dinner." ”
"Okay, the purpose of my visit today is to play chess with you." Zhao Yao felt that Zheng Zhengshi's little brother was a little strange.
"Your Highness, please move to my courtyard."
"Third Young Master......"
"Wait for the eldest brother and second brother to finish bathing and changing clothes and tell them that His Royal Highness is in my courtyard and playing chess with me." After Zheng Qian finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Yao. "Your Highness, please."
"Okay."
Zheng Qian took Zhao Yao to his courtyard.
Zhao Yao found that Zheng Qian's courtyard was very elegantly arranged, which was a little incompatible with his arrogant temperament.
Zheng Qian directly took Zhao Yao to his study, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”
Zhao Yao sat down opposite Zheng Qian.
"Your Highness, please guess first."
Zhao Yao is a white son, and Zheng Qian is a black son.
When Zheng Rang and Zheng Cheng came to Zheng Qian's courtyard after bathing, they saw that he was already playing chess with Zhao Yao, and reprimanded him for not understanding the rules.
Zhao Yao waved his hand and said he didn't care. Besides, the purpose of his visit tonight was to play chess with Zheng Qian.
The two were already playing chess, and Zheng Rang couldn't interrupt them, so he had to let Zheng Cheng serve on the side, and he went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes that Zhao Yao loved to eat.
Zheng Cheng sat aside and brought tea to Zhao Yao.
Although Zheng Cheng played chess like this, he could understand it.
Zhao Yao and Zheng Qian have been playing chess for a while, and now in the chess game, the two are fighting each other and not letting each other go.
When he first played chess, Zheng Qian still despised Zhao Yao a little in his heart. He didn't believe that Zhao Yao, a six-year-old kid, was smarter than him. The main thing is that he can't accept that his lord is a six-year-old child. However, after a while, he did not dare to hold a little contemptuous attitude again.
Although he only played a few moves, Zheng Qian could see that Zhao Yao's chess skills were not simple.
After a few more steps, Zheng Qian found that Zhao Yao's chess skills were the same as his. Now he was completely serious. After a while, Zheng Qian's brows furrowed slightly.
Zhao Yao came to play chess tonight with the attitude that he would lose, but he didn't expect that after a while, he found that Zheng Zhengshi's genius brother's chess skills were like this, not as powerful as he imagined.
After playing for a while, Zhao Yao found that his chess skills seemed to be above Zheng Rang's genius younger brother.
Hey, no, isn't Zheng Zhengshi's younger brother a genius, isn't he very good at chess, and even the resourceful Zheng Taiwei is not his opponent.
Zheng Qian naturally noticed Zhao Yao's disbelieving and suspicious eyes. He felt a stump in his heart, he felt that he was disgusted by the Ten Princes opposite.
Zhao Yao suddenly remembered He Lianfang's words this afternoon. He begged his second uncle to teach him tricks in the afternoon, so that he wouldn't lose too ugly, and the second uncle said that he didn't need tricks, and said that he would definitely win. Now it seems that what the second uncle said is right.
Zheng Cheng was very happy when he saw that Heizi was forced to fall behind by Baizi, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.
The eldest brother is right, the Ten Highnesses can really win the younger brother when they play chess.
Hahahahaha, the little brother met an opponent this time.
Zheng Qian had read some military books and played chess with Zhao Yao for a while, so he knew that Zhao Yao used the art of war. At the beginning, he could still know what kind of art Zhao Yao used, and he could deal with it. However, if it goes down, he doesn't know what kind of art of war Zhao Yao uses.
The chess game is like a battlefield, and Zhao Yao is already used to playing chess with He Lianfang using the art of war. Moreover, he only played chess with He Lianfang in the afternoon, so he naturally unconsciously used the art of war he learned from He Lianfang in the afternoon. This art of war was created by He Lianfang herself, not in those military books, Zheng Qian didn't know that it was normal.
Although Zheng Qian is extremely smart and has read a lot of military books, his attainments in the art of war are definitely not as good as He Lianfang.
He Lianfang is the god of war, and he has created many of his own art of war. He has only taught Zhao Yao one person about these art of war. Although Zhao Yao has only learned a little fur now, this fur is better than many people.
Although Zheng Qian is familiar with a lot of military books, he has never led soldiers on the battlefield, and he only talks about soldiers on paper. Zhao Yao has never really been on the battlefield, but he often fights against He Lianfang on the sand table, and he can be regarded as having some actual combat experience.
Moreover, Zhao Yao's talent in the art of war is extremely high, and Zheng Qian is inferior to him.
As it went, Zheng Qian felt that he was a little unbearable. He couldn't figure out Zhao Yao's chess moves at all.
These Ten Highnesses look innocent, but the way to play chess is very insidious, which makes him unguardable.
Each time, Zheng Qian thought that he had predicted his next move against Zhao Yao, but he fell into the trap set by Zhao Yao. When he falls into the trap, he realizes that he has been fooled.
It's so treacherous!
Zheng Qian thought that he had predicted Zhao Yao's next move, but he didn't think that Zhao Yao had predicted his prediction.
In chess, Zheng Qian walked five more steps than He Xiang and his father, while Zhao Yao could take one step and see ten steps. Moreover, from the first time Zhao Yao fell, he set a trap. Although Zheng Qian had some tricks beyond Zhao Yao's surprises, Zheng Qian did not completely escape the trap set by Zhao Yao.
Zheng Cheng saw that Zheng Qian was completely at a disadvantage, and it was difficult to turn defeat into victory.
Zheng Qian played chess very quickly at first, but as he played, his speed became slower and slower. And Zhao Yao is the same as at the beginning, and the speed of falling is very fast.
At this time, Zhao Yao was holding the tea cup, drinking tea elegantly, and patiently waiting for Zheng Qian to fall.
Zheng Qian's brows were tightly locked, and his always cold and arrogant face showed a distressed look.
Zheng Qian didn't think about this move for a long time. No matter what he thought, he was powerless to turn the defeat around.
It was the first time Zheng Cheng had seen his little brother racking his brains. At this moment, Zheng Chengcai felt that Zheng Qian was an ordinary person.
Since Zheng Qian studied, no matter what aspect he is, he has never met an opponent, and he has never been so helpless and powerless as he is now.
Seeing that he was in a desperate situation, but he was powerless to save himself. At this moment, Zheng Qian realized that he was not omnipotent.
For the first time, Zheng Qian deeply realized what it means to be "powerless".
He didn't want to lose, but he couldn't turn defeat into victory.
Zheng Qian's forehead and face were covered with sweat, which was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. It was also the first time he had sweated so much.
In the past, no matter how hot the weather was, Zheng Qian's body was not sweaty at all.
Zheng Qian's left hand on his knee was clenched into a fist, and his eyes were full of struggle.
Zhao Yao looked at Zheng Qian with a tangled look, and did not open his mouth to urge him, nor did he say anything to him, but just waited quietly for him to fall.
Zheng Cheng saw his little brother's helpless appearance for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart, where would he laugh at Zheng Qian.
Zheng Qian took a deep breath, then stood up and waved his hands towards Zhao Yao.
"I lost!"
He lost badly!
Although he was unwilling, he was convinced, because he really had no way at all.
Zhao Yao also stood up and gave Zheng Qian a salute: "I agreed." ”
"The student lost convincingly!" Zheng Qian's attitude and tone at this time have changed, and he is no longer the same arrogant appearance as when he saw Zhao Yao just now. At this moment, his attitude and tone were more respectful.
If you want to catch the high-speed rail at noon, you will write more than 3,000 words in the first shift. In the evening the second more and a little more.
In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a tip! Leave a message! Ask for everything!
