Volume 1 Chapter 18 Exquisite Chess Game
Everyone sat down and looked towards the door.
A middle-aged man with a majestic spirit came slowly with a beautifully dressed woman, and behind the two was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a brocade robe.
As the three men took their seats, everyone stood up and saluted.
In this world, the royal family does not have such great authority, but the power of many immortal cultivation families is even more feared. The relationship between the royal family and the Xiuxian family has always been interdependent, and it is all maintained by interests.
The emperor said a few polite words to everyone, and then entered today's topic.
The emperor was a man who was extremely obsessed with the art of chess. Chess games are often used as a guide to hold banquets, and this is exactly the case today.
"I sincerely invite you to come, I hope you can help me solve a delicate chess game. I have been thinking about this chess game for many days, but I have not yet had an answer. ”
As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to present a chessboard. The chessboard is densely packed with black and white chess pieces.
Xia Qingluo looked at it with interest, it was quite similar to the game of Go in his previous life. But she naturally doesn't understand this, in her previous life, she only cared about studying how to kill people, how could she have the leisure to play these things!
As soon as the chess game was presented, everyone watched it very seriously and discussed with each other, and the sons and ladies of many families spoke enthusiastically and said their own opinions.
"I thought Your Majesty should be here!"
"No! It's better here! ”
Xia Qingluo obviously didn't care about this, she looked down and tasted the delicious food on the table, and sighed in her heart:
'This royal cook's skills are not bad!' It's really much better than in those taverns on the street! ’
At this moment, Jiang Wanwan suddenly spoke, breaking Xia Qingluo's comfort:
"Miss Xia is in the school, but her grades are very good, and she came to the banquet for the first time today. I must have some insight into this chess game! ”
Xia Qingluo didn't want to pay attention to it, but suddenly an electronic voice sounded in his mind:
[Hey, hey! The system will issue a task for you: help the Emperor break the chess game! Complete the task will get a mysterious item rewarded by the system~】
'Finish your sister!' The old lady can't play chess! How to do it! Don't you want to be so outrageous! ’
But at this time, everyone's eyes were attracted to her by Jiang Wanwan's words, and Xia Qingluo had to put down the chicken leg that was gnawing in his hand and glanced at Jiang Wanwan coldly.
'Catch the ducks on the shelves!' If I refuse, it will seem that the Xia family is afraid of the Jiang family! But if I don't come up with a useful opinion, it won't be a joke for others to see! ’
She thought quickly in her mind, and suddenly remembered a prop. With so many people here today, it's just right!
Xia Qingluo made up his mind and said secretly in his heart:
Use item: "Heartthrob Experience Card." ’
Then she saw that the eyes of the people around her looked at her from confusion to smiles.
Most of the people here saw her for the first time, and they bowed their heads and whispered:
"This Miss Xia looks generous and decent! It's just that this Xia family has never heard of it! ”
The emperor also looked at her with a smile on his face, with a faint expectation in his eyes.
The corners of Xia Qingluo's mouth were filled with a confident smile, and in front of everyone's eyes, he walked to the chess table in the center of the hall.
Only Yun Xingce showed a worried look, he had also pulled Xia Qingluo to play chess with him in the past few days, but this woman obviously didn't know anything about chess.
'What is she going to do here?!' ’
However, just when everyone was looking forward to Xia Qingluo's high opinions!
But I saw her suddenly grasp the chessboard with one hand, and she actually raised her hand to overturn the chessboard! The black and white chess pieces rolled to the ground with a clink, and everyone got up in amazement! Obviously, I don't understand why Xia Qingluo did this?!
Jiang Wanwan's eyes widened and she pointed at her and shouted:
"Xia Qingluo! How dare you be unreasonable to the emperor! ”
I'm afraid this girl is not crazy!
The emperor looked at Xia Qingluo with a puzzled expression. Although there was a faint displeasure in his heart, he still patiently asked:
"Miss Xia, what do you mean by this?!"
Xia Qingluo said slowly with a calm expression:
"The easiest way to break a chess game is, of course, to get out of it! The so-called dilemma, it is the people in the situation who are trapped! The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so naturally he should not be trapped between the chess pieces! That's why I'm turning this chess game over today to help Your Majesty break the game! ”
There was silence all around, Xia Qingluo was also very worried in her heart, she didn't know if her serious nonsense would work, everyone was waiting for the emperor's reaction.
I saw the emperor raise his hand on his chin, frown slightly, groan for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the table:
"Good! You can say that again! Miss Xia's words are wonderful! Reward! Reward! ”
There was an uproar in the main hall! Many people actually threw their admiration at her, and even applauded her!
Xia Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart:
'This prop is amazing! This can fool the past! ’
[Hey, hey! Congratulations on completing the mission and rewarding the system item: "All Pairs". 】
["Meng's All Pairs": A one-time item. After use, you can find the optimal solution to any problem in one hour! 】
Xia Qingluo looked at the information that popped up on the system panel, returned to his seat with palpitations, and continued to eat the chicken leg that had just been gnawed, and Yun Xingce on the side looked at her with a smile:
"That's amazing!"
'That's right! Childe actually praised me! ’
She was almost choked by Yun Xingce's words, and somehow she was praised a little weak, and she always felt that it was the role of the "heartthrob experience card".
She sneered twice and ate her head.
I thought I would be able to spend tonight safely, but after a while, she was called forward again!
"Father, Miss Xia is very superb in body skills, why don't you let her compete with the young talents here today!"
She knew that the crown prince was kind, so that she could win more attention at the banquet, attract more contacts for the Xia family, and win the attention of the emperor!
Xia Qingluo did not refuse, she walked to the center of the hall in a few steps, and her red dress made her particularly delicate and lovely, which attracted many teenagers to look at it twice.
The delicate little soldier also looked at her, and the man blushed and lowered his head and whispered something in General Zhou's ear. Immediately, General Zhou actually showed an intriguing smile.
At this moment, a young man with a fourth-layer condensation walked in front of her:
"I'll try! Under ......"
Before the man finished speaking, her body moved, and in an instant, she was in front of the man, raised her leg and swept towards the man, the young man obviously didn't expect Xia Qingluo to attack suddenly, and before he could react, he was directly swept by one leg and fell to the ground.
"You! Why are you still sneak attacking! The young man got up from the ground with some anger and pointed at Xia Qingluo and said.
"On the battlefield, no one listens to you report to your home!" Xia Qingluo said coldly to the man.
Then there was a young man with four layers of condensation, and without saying a word, he attacked her from behind, and she didn't turn her head back to dodge sideways, and raised her hand to slash with a knife, and the young man didn't have time to dodge, so he lay directly on the ground.
In Xia Qingluo's opinion, the tricks of these two people are not as disciplined, and they are not even as good as those soldiers on the martial arts training ground!
Several people rushed up in a row, but they were all subdued by Xia Qingluo!
Everyone looked stunned!
This girl is dexterous, tricky, and goes straight to the point! If it weren't for the deliberate mercy of his subordinates, those people don't know how many times they died!
Although this girl only has the cultivation of the third layer of condensing qi, it is not difficult to see that she is extremely experienced in combat, and those teenagers are not at the same level at all compared to her!
At this time, General Zhou, who was watching the play on the side, suddenly stood up with a hearty laugh:
"I'm coming! Female doll, I don't take advantage of you either! The old man doesn't use his aura to fight you! How is it?! ”
